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 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Leading evidence: 'typo and should be £18k' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'typo and should be £18k' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
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.

Something about the text... all generic second-hand car speak, not the language of an enthusiast looking to find a buyer for their p&j.
Either a scam, or a misprint- £18k would be more like it, but still cheap. Were there any '97 996's? Though they came out in '98...

Mine was first registered in Feb 98 so would have been made in '97.
probably a typo and should be £18k
TB
My vote is that it's a scam...
Those wheels are not standard (or cheap) yet don't get a mention, the rear spoiler appears to be missing, and I can't see any parking sensors in the front PU
I also don't think there were any 1997 registered 996s, as there are a few 1998 993s around.
All those that have emailed for info are now on a spammers database

Hello,
The vehicle is in good condition, has no technical damages at all, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, no smoking,remaining warranty available. It's fun and robust to
drive. Technical inspection and emissions testing is passed and stamped as well. It has title of ownership, cleared of any obligations or fees and comes with all the english
documents.UK registration with UK TUV and plates.The car has a right hand drive for United Kingdom.
No extra costs.All informations about the car are correct.
I am sorry the car is in Italy with me.I worked in Newcastle untill some weeks ago in a hospital.I had to get back home because my wife is having a baby.I'm in Rome,Italy.I can
not come to UK .If you can come here its great.I really need to sell it fast,as i need money for my baby,and i think i can get the car to you in 4 days.But please contact me
back for more details.
I am selling the car because i can not drive it here,and I have problems with the registration.
Kind regards from Rome!
So have you sent him the money yet?
I expect you sent a much larger cheque and will ask him to pay the difference back in cash when you collect the car... :lol: :lol: :lol:
...I was thinking to sending something for the baby too!!
Everytime I see an ad with just the email address, bells start to ring. Makes me wonder has anyone ever completed a large purchase, solely via email? (excl ebay)
