Leading evidence: 'Check done' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check done' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all,
I am new here and needed some advice...i just looked at a 911 cabrio on a 2001 plate with fsh, 6 month warranty left with 47 on the clock, the owner current owner has only had this car 6 months and is the 4th owner. the car has a few scuff on the bumper and it seems the hard top has been dropped on the side of the car whcih has been sprayed but not a A1 job. other then that the car is fine - took a sprayer with me who can tell all panel damage etc ( i trust as hes a good mate of mine) the guy had an hpi done on it when he got it 6 months ago. Can some one give me average prices for the work to be done and also whether i should have a PPI/AA/RAC check done?
Thanks in advance.

Please explain? sorry but im new to 911's
i always assume slight bodywork on a car a few years old is going to be scuffed, for a 5 year old car mileage is not high.

Any body work damage on a 911, make sure it's done well with Porsche Warrenty which needs yrly inspection to maintain. If it's done well then not a problem, but if it's not, then it can seriously devalue it.
Anyhow, you ought to have the car PPI by Porsche garage or someone who knows Porsche before you decide to buy.
BTW, don't skimp on a HPI, re-check it anyway!

respray on the front bumper (because of stone chips) or the hood are OK but anything else, wouldn't bother touching it - there are plenty of other Porkies in the sty so to speak yaar!

Thanks alot for your help guys!
i think i will steer clear of this one then as the hardtop drops on the side of th car has not been done by porsche warranty and the bumper is not cracked but has paint crack near the number plate.

Plenty to go wrong with a high-performance car like a 996, and especially one that's a few years old. You want FSH with OPCs and/or well known indies, and to be sure that a) nothing big is about to go wrong and b) that it hasn't been abused.
If you're forking out a sizeable wad of mazuma you need to make sure you're getting best VFM. So take your time buying, do lots of research, view lots of cars, be choosy (reject iffy motors that don't come up to scratch) and get a good PPI.
Cars that seem to have been owned by 'don't care' drivers (scuffs, scratches, bits that don't work as they should) - leave them well alone.

It's true enough- there are plenty about, so no need to buy one that is less than ideal (unless it is reflected in the price).
Good luck with the hunting!
