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, About to purchase my first Porsche, 2004 986 with 71k on the clock, and after a bit of reassurance I suppose. 2 owners Full dealer history (which is a nice surprise) 12 months MOT / 6 months tax Full heated leather Recent disks and pads on front Stainless steel exhaust Unfortunately original CDR23 Cd/Radio 17" Continentals (6mm on front / 4mm on rear). May look to upgrade or at least get rims dipped. PSM All keys Oil and Filters being changed this week (OEM parts) Original clutch, but in no way heavy. Condition in and out classes as very good. £9,500. Sound in the right ball park ??

POST 2Original post

You don't say from where, but I'd say that's far too steep for a private buy. It's quite high from a dealer too, but with a very good warranty and if it really is in excellent condition, perhaps acceptable.

Sorry, it's Trade. They sourced the car and brought from 1st owner, and second owner has sold it back to them.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
