I would certainly get it checked over but I bought a low mileage, similar age C2 Cab and so far, could not be happier.

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

Went to look at a 996 cab today and it was ultra low mileage - 23K on a 2000 car. Looked at the service history and it was last (officially) serviced in 2005 at 15500 miles. The car appears to have done less than 10K since then but surely the car should still have been serviced every year?? Is there anything to look out for in particular as the car does look as if it has not been used much in the last few years. There is a purchase invoice in 2005 (from an OPC) showing 15K miles so it seems to check out. Obviously a PPI would be a must but is there anything else that I should be looking out for?

POST 2Original post

HI - Checkout Adrian Crawfords buyers guide - the sticky at the top of the 996 forum. otherwise sounds fine - get a PPI from a reputable indy Simon

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Given that these cars are designed to be driven, would folks be more or less wary of a low mileage car??

POST 4Original post

I would certainly get it checked over but I bought a low mileage, similar age C2 Cab and so far, could not be happier. Had it looked over and it had been well maintained, even though the car had not been driven much.

POST 5Original post

- The car should be serviced every 12/24k or at least once a year if it has done less then 8k per year. At most the car has not been serviced for 3 years? Any reason why someone who brought their P&J for OPC would not carry out at least an annual check? (around £120ish) 2005 is definetly a while back, as mentioned over and over again get the PPI. but closely check over the paperwork (old mots to verify mileage). There got to be alot paperwork for this car, over 3 years you can look at sparks, filters, ignition coils, aircon refil, tyre change, brake change, disc change, even blub change? Do he has receipts for any of these? They are not all mileage related but can be necessary by the age of the car (and if it is in minimal use) Once all that fits, dont fail on the PPI. Some buyers, use the PPI as a "deposit" for the car. It may be good to find out what your options are..

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the advice folks. I saw another car with similar mileage today and it had an OPC service every year so my deposit was duly handed over and I will be driving it next week subject to a successful PPI. This will be the longest 6 days of my life!!!! :thumbs:

POST 8Original post

Nice one Eddie. If you think it's bad now, wait until it's the last night before you pick it up. No sleep, excited like a kid on Christmas eve, up early (chain smoking if you smoke) etc. It's a familiar pre pick-up condition which gets reeplaced by a moronic grin once you get the keys ance-Tap:

POST 9Original post

Well done! :thumbs: Hope to see the pics soon! hotoshot:
