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.

I'm sure we've all seen the one on Ebay and possi bly the reddit thread about the same . Does anyone know of the car? I saw a comment say the seller wasn't looking to budge on the price but if it didn't see for £9350 then surely they'd be open to a cheeky offer if it wasn't tooooo much of a shed? I was hoping to buy something lower miles and more sorted but this would leave a nice chunk of budget to sort it out and it has an LSD and a nice colour!
That's a polished turd from what i've seen and read about it.
That cars been discussed on here before, from memory it’s advertised history and condition were disputed? Sorry I don’t know how to link you to the previous discussion, Maybe someone else can ? I don’t know the car, I’ve never seen it, It’s not first hand information, it has been advertised several places for quite a while now and not sold.
Here it is..I started it but we soon discovered "very nice" wasn't really an accurate conclusion. Thread 'Very nice early 996' 9 Feb 2025 If I didn't already have one exactly the same i'd be buying this. I can't believe it's so cheap. The Modern Classic Car Co Some nice stuff in "Cars Sold" too , particularly the Speed Yellow 996. Uncle Monty Replies: 68 Forum: Porsche 911 996 (1997-2005) I've got an identical car now and really enjoying it.
If it needs a lot of welding and I think it does then it's a £6500 car as it'll need the same again spending on it at least. Once fixed up it'll be a great car but that £6k rebuild could easily escalate to £20k for instance if 2nd gear is jumping out then you've got a £4k gearbox rebuild...etc etc
The red flags are waving - thanks everyone! Too goo to be true and too bad to look past the warnings!
From memory at least 3 dealers have tried to shift this so far aswell as the Bay.
That sounds like a perfect candidate for an engine swap and a gutted interior. I have qualms about doing that to a pristine example, though.
