Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 4Original post

Nick, I think if you look at other threads currently on the go you will see that 01/02 facelift cars are selling in the region of £30 - 34k. As one poster put it, the cars are in freefall still, and I have to admit that I agree and this is putting me off buying one once I sell the 993, although there are a couple of other issues that are kicking around which are not helping matters.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I agree, and that falls right in my mates budget
