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.

The car was a non runner when I got it, this was eventually traced to the feed hose in the fuel tank.
Leading evidence: 'feed hose in the fuel tank' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'feed hose in the fuel tank' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 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.

Hi all, I have the opportunity to move onto something different and with no time to give this car the time or attention it deserves it is time to move on with a heavy heart!
I am unsure as to where to position it price wise so any input appreciated!
Car is a 1999 Carrera 4
Mileage is 164k miles
Manual
Savannah beige interior / Ocean Blue
Non sunroof
The car was a non runner when I got it, this was eventually traced to the feed hose in the fuel tank. It hadn't been in the road since 2016 as a result and I have been very slowly recommissioning it.
New Bosch Battery
Oil change
Filters
Wipers
Aux belt.
Drivers window regulator
Crankshaft position sensor
Ignition switch
It has no service history prior to my ownership unfortunately and I've not had any luck tracing it down.
The car is remarkably rust free however the bumpers and a wing need painted. The rear arches are perfect, the drivers side slam panel at the door latch is blistering. The interior is worn!
It's currently not mot'd but I'm hoping to get it in later this week.
Any thoughts appreciated as to what I should be asking let me know.
Many thanks.
Thanks for the replies so far, yes I realise this is a tricky one to price.
Similarly if anyone is interested let me know, the car is near Stirling.
Here are a couple of pics -
One went on auction with 134k on it on eBay for £13k:

Didn't look good either:
'Condition- Since I bought the car in August 2003 we have enjoyed over 100,000 miles together.- At 77,000 miles I had an engine failure, and a replacement engine (new from Stuttgart) was fitted.- The rear bumper has suffered a small puncture and damaged paintwork (argument with a car park bollard !)- Both door windows have given trouble recently with closing properly.- Earlier this year I had an accident (nothing to do with the car) which damaged my left arm, making driving very difficult, and therefore the car has been parked up since May. As a result the battery is flat.- The car has MOT certificate, valid until 22 March 2022- The car is officially 'off the road" (SORN), untaxed and uninsured.- It will need lorry transportation from its present location in Chipping Campden, GL55. With a bit of TLC this car should give an enthusiast many happy motoring hours."
Obviously not for 10k. My point was the C4 is not a sought after car which is another thing against it. I have been stalking the market 3 times a day for the past 9 months trying to find a nice early C2 and the C4 cars are plentyful.
The majority of people wanting to get in to the cheapest variant 911 couldn't give 2 hoots whether its 2 or 4. If it was never sought after by the masses, why did so many sell brand new?
