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.

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 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello All- Researching a 996 and the miles are 61k indicated, but the DME report shows around 140K km (approx 87k). Total operating hours are 2720, which seems consistent for 87k, but not 61k (at least from my research on this and other forums). Just wanted to get some opinions, any feedback appreciated. I plan on stopping at my local dealer tomorrow to get the service dept. opinion. The Carfax and limited records appear pretty consistent but.... Maybe I am overlooking something? Or reading too much? 4018 range 1 1 range 2 at 500 hours

POST 2Original post

Maybe try the 996 forum for better info. This is an Air Cooled 911 forum Porsche 996/997/991 Forum - Pelican Parts Forums

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sorry about that, any help appreciated

POST 5Original post

Maybe the gauge cluster has been replaced The DME would be the accurate miles

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm leaning toward the DME replacement theory. I've heard they do fail (esp due to moisture) and the carfax appears to support the mileage on the odo. The Porsche world is a finicky bunch so I think I will pass on the car to avoid questions down the road...

POST 8Original post

I’d be concerned if the DME was replaced It could be a flood car Does the Carfax show it ever being in Houston? Or New Orleans?
