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

As noted in the title, I'm thinking of purchasing a used 991, thinking non S version. I don't have a particular preference between 2 and AWD and similarly don't have a Auto vs. Manual preference--generically lean toward manual. I've got an 84 Carrera that I've had for 15 years, do most of the work on it myself and I'll be keeping it but there's really no similarities so I'm wondering what options are must haves and which are more ideal. I know this is pretty broad but I have to start somewhere. Thanks in advance for all input. Karl

POST 2Original post

If it comes manual. Get it. Nothing else matters. #selfdrivingcarssuck

POST 3Original post

I would definitely echo that you should find yourself a good example of a manual. Non S or S ... both are good but if you're going for a .1 generation (NA engine), I would go for the S. If you're interested in the .2 generation (Turbo engine), the Base will be notably quicker than the .1S... something to think about. Otherwise, you will find yourself drowning in options once you really get into it. You can research build sheets of various cars via vinanalytics.com in order to get a better idea of what the car comes equipped with. Let us know if you have any questions about certain options, etc.

POST 4Original post

There hundreds of different options and combinations available. Use tools available to research different build sheets so you can get an idea of what you’d like. WRT to models, I’d say 991.1S or 991.2Base (preference is the 991.2)

These are all great pointers, thank you guys. Karl
