Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. 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.

It has been there for a while, they used the excuse that a director has been using it , but only done 2k since major OPC service last May, so can't say I believed them.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello everyone, I am looking to buy my first Porsche and have seen the following:- 996 C4 Black, ruffled savannah, 47K, 2000. It's on Autotrader in Manchester. Priced at £28K, what do you think? Migration info. Legacy thread was 122895

POST 2Original post

The price looks about right - though obviously plenty of other things to consider - warranty - service history - condition - owners - options etc etc. Savannah leather is one of the least desired colours so bear that in mind for resale. Migration info. Legacy thread was 122896

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm looking to keep it for 5 years as a weekend car so want the car for me, not the car to be able to sell later. No warranty as far as I know, good condition but would get Peter Morgan to have a look, 2 owners, PCM1. Drives better than a C2 (Blue/Savannah) at 911 Virgin I tried 4 weeks ago. Migration info. Legacy thread was 122897

POST 4Original post

If it checks out and you're happy then that's all that matters. I'm looking for a similar car - though not with that colour leather. Is it manual? Migration info. Legacy thread was 122905

POST 5Original post

That makes it £29K once a warranty on it, which is a bit expensive IMO. Try and get the OPC warranty included in the price. Migration info. Legacy thread was 122916

POST 6Original post

Shouldn't be too hard if it's a dealer - I usually manage a minimum of £1 - £2k off of the sticker price. Migration info. Legacy thread was 122919

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes, it is a manual, tried a tip but thought there was too much going on out of my control to really enjoy it. As a daily drive in town I might be convinced otherwise, but for a weekend toy it has to be a manual for me. Got the link if you want to have a look ... http://dealerservices.autotrader.co.uk/27835/harrison.htm It has been there for a while, they used the excuse that a director has been using it , but only done 2k since major OPC service last May, so can't say I believed them. So, I think there might be some room for negotiation. Migration info. Legacy thread was 122927

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Might be interested in this instead. As the leather is not savannah, stats007 might also be looking. http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/138317.htm Although slightlyworried it might have been thrashed by a previous owner ! Migration info. Legacy thread was 122956

POST 9Original post

I just bought a 99 c4 ocean blue/grey leather 58k miles 2 owners for £24k If that helps Migration info. Legacy thread was 122966

POST 10Original post

Looks a nice car.. nice options. Migration info. Legacy thread was 122976

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Asim. Daniel, which one were you referring to? Migration info. Legacy thread was 122985
