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.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
If you really want, you can take it along to a Porsche dealer, get the 111 point check done, and they will sell you a full wty for about £900, then you have peace of mind.

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

Hi everyone I'm new to this forum. I have just bought my first Porsche, its 2003 996 Targa triptronic S. Its very clean and the previous owner only used it on the weekends. Should I look out for anything, can experience Porsche owners please advise. BASHER

POST 2Original post

Hello there, and welcome! Just enjoy the car. Nothing to look out for, (especially now you've bought it!) just take probs as they come. Do you have a warranty? If you really want, you can take it along to a Porsche dealer, get the 111 point check done, and they will sell you a full wty for about £900, then you have peace of mind.

POST 3Original post

Welcome. As said the warranty from a Porsche dealership is great peace of mind! I want a Targa as the "tailgate" would be reallllllly useful to me!! Just have fun enjoy what is a truly great car! Ohhhh .. if your not used to a car this quick take time getting used to it! God hope that doesn't sound that condisending eeeeeek!! lol

POST 4Original post

With regard to the glass tailgate - make sure you never open it whilst the glass roof is open (I'm not sure if the mechanism allows you to - but I sure don't want to find out the hard way!) The hatch window makes the 911 truly flexible for carrying stuff in the back - including, believe it or not, road racing bikes! One other hint - carry a daft baseball hat with you in the summer - a determined sun can be quite a nuisance - especially if you want to drive with the roof open!!
