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.

POST 1Original post

Hey everyone! I'm obviously new here and new to Porsches, so please be gentle. I've been a long time American car guy and looking forward to branching out. I've been looking for a 987.1 base or S for several months now. I've been watching auctions and doing lots of research and driven a few cars. I finally found a base in Cobalt Blue out of state that I have a purchase agreement with the seller on. Im trying to confirm what options came on the car. I did a search on the forum but can't find anything regarding vin decoding or build sheet info. Is there any way to look this info up? I also need a good tire recommendation. The car has the base 17" wheels but needs new tires . I'm used to PS4s or Continental Extreem Contacts. But there doesn't seem to be many options available in 17". I prefer a summer tire with good ride and comfort without sacrificing handling. Thanks!

POST 2Original post

I haven't needed VIN decoding for a while, and there doesn't seem to be any free decoders online for Porsches. This one is $12.99 Presumably you've already put some money down, so what's another $12.99? I can't help on the 17" wheels. Haven't had tiny wheels since my 71 Fiat 124

POST 4Original post

I used Discount Tire real quick. Not much for options. Depending on your pocket book, PS2 would be the best for a sport tire. Discount Tire | Tires and Wheels for Sale | Online & In-Person www.discounttire.com Everything else in the 17 is ok, but again, you can go from $700 for a set to $1400 a set. Choose what works for you, want you want out of the tire, and so forth.

POST 5Original post

I got my VIN decoding from Suncoast for pretty inexpensive. I got it within a day or two I think. Also, Cobalt Blue Metallic really is one of the best colors of these cars. I get compliments on mine all the time and it was really what sold me on my car. In the bright sun, it really is spectacular. Also good that you got a base as S models tend to have higher chances of bore scoring, which could be a death sentence unless you're interested in doing a swap like I did.

POST 6Original post

Thanks. I actually preferred the S, but the color combo and good service history sold me. I wont be able to pick it up for a while, so can't quite celebrate yet.

POST 7Original post

I’ve got a 2007 base with the 17s and have been very happy with the Continental DWS06+ tires . I had to go up 10mm in tire width all around but the car still feels light and nimble. Congrats on the car!!

POST 8Original post

On my 2006 with 17” I went to a 215/50/17 fronts. Opens up a lot of options.
