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.

Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace about it' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

No not the tune by The Cure :lol:
Been on this forum for a while now and still haven’t pulled the trigger on a 911. I keep changing my mind between newer (997.2 or a Caymen 981) or an early 996.1. I like the colour of this 996. Green is a bit marmite I know but I think it suits the shape really well.

Bit leggy on the miles but not the owners. Not sure if that’s a good price or too high in the current volatile market? The MOT history shows advisories for every year of the 10 that the previous owner had it Rolling Eyes
Any words of wisdom gratefully received. It doesn’t appear to have many bells and whistles on the options front.
Yes I keep going back to look at the interior pics and I’m thinking the same. A sea of beige might get a bit much although I’m not keen on the full grey interiors either
I have a Green turbo with savannah beige interior, it's certainly not to everyones taste...but it's grown on me. It's quite light and I think looks a bit classy, certainly more interesting than a sea of black or grey.
I've broken it up a bit by fitting a wooden gearknob and black Porsche momo steering wheel. You could also fit red seatbelts or something similar.
Wheels are not original but that is a matter of taste
the inside looks decent given the age
120k miles and have the MOT issues been addressed ?
Purchase price is one thing but you can pend a lot of money on these and still end up with a car that has more than 120k miles
My 2001 is the same green and I love it , there are not many in the UK
I’d need to view the car in person to decide if it’s a colour combo I could live with. My mind keeps changing about it. I’ve sent a message asking a few questions about it and depending on the answers a trip to Surrey could be on the cards
Not to everyone’s taste but it will look better in flesh.
If it’s mechanically sound and you like it, go for it!
981/ 997.2 will be much more expensive
I'm completely biased on the subject, but I think green exterior with tan leather interior looks great - I constantly get kind words about the colour of the car.
However, if it's rusting away underneath with an engine about to explode...walk away ;-)
Ah, one more thing - some people fit black floormats (carpets?) into tan cars to break up the "sea of tan" a bit.
