The lady had previously started it so my guess is oils in the engine still... would need to let it settle 20 mins after turning off to check level again ... at this price its an absolute baragain The 996 has recently been classified by Porsche now as classic car status so these are becoming collectable now... prices will only rise, the 997 is based on this same paltform albeit a c4s chassis but same engine etc just got round headlights so people loved it 😂 but its basicly same car underneath... so when look at it like that rhe 996 is an absolute steal...

That sticker under the bonnet has all the option codes. I would say that will have 0991 which is a special order code. That is a beautiful colour and i can see litronic headlights and colour coded centre console which are nice extras! Unreal value considering the history and receipts, i wonder why it ended up at BCA!? P.S I have stuck a 2001 C4 aero in my garage that has only 40k miles. I am not expecting huge appreciation in value but expect it will hold well. I love it in the summer on twisty roads.

The radio code could be on one of the cards in the front flap of the service book. When you first turn the key (when car not been used for half an hour or so) the oil will be measured on the dash in about 5 seconds. I think each segment on the dash is about 200cc of oil, perhaps less.

I had a 996 C2 Cab from new for 3 years in 2003 and with hindsight it was wonderful. Sadly I used it everyday for 36 months as my DD and I got bored sick of it and was pleased to get rid of it. Seal grey, black roof, loads of extras and I picked it up from the factory in Germany (which you could in those days). I remember I felt like a dog with two d1cks driving it out of the factory and back home, I had made it. You are right, what a cool car they are now and if you can get the right one (C4S would be my pick), they will hold their value and give you many smiles per mile. It will be interesting to see how the story unfolds over the next few weeks/months.

Great buy. The wheels are fantastic while you was driving the car the wheels look amazing.. The colour is really nice.. The only things what would worry me is the lack of oil also the ims Bearing.. But what a car for the money.. She could be a very very nice car once the work is carried out and the engine is fine.. Engine not using any oil And also ims bearing as been changed..
@sureshot8399
@sureshot8399 14 сағат бұрын
The IMS bearing is a concern whether the car is manual or tiptronic. They both have the same engine and it is an engine issue. With a tip though, both engine and transmission have to be removed to replace the IMS but with a manual only the engine needs to come out. Early 996s are less susceptible to IMS issues, but 2002 on are more so than 200/2001. Get it done and forget about it. It will be tougher to sell if not done though..

Very nice…… I’m a tad biased, my Turbo Coupe is the same year……… I love them, they are such good value. The engine can bite, but at that price you’re safe enough. The IMS bearing issue is a potential and nowadays, a fairly easy fix…… the gremlin is the bore coating or lack of, allowing potential bore scoring. However, I’m told it’s less common than the doomsayers say. I went the far more pricey route with the twin turbo, but ensuring no bore or IMS issues, as it uses a different engine. Again, it sounds great and well used is safer than a garage queen, in the long run 🙂🇬🇧🏁

Too many people refer to these headlights as "fried eggs". They're not. The fried egg headlights were from 1999 to 2000, more or less. The early 996 headlights were distinctly different from the ones on this car, which are the updated design.

I had the same model, also with the Tiptronic gearbox, which I got to really like. I put a Milltek performance exhaust on which made a huge difference, subtle at lower revs but had that distinctive Porsche howl at 4,000 RPM plus. Don't worry about the IMS / RMS bearing failure horror stories - if it hasn't failed by 100k miles, it probably isn't going to! If you decide to sell, I'd be happy to buy without a warranty. Otherwise please let us know if it's going to be raffled, I'll definitely be buying some tickets!

I have a theory about service history. If I had a new car, or a used one, and I took it to reputable garages to get it serviced every year, but at the last service the spanner man said 'xxx is about to go bang and they cost £xxxx to fix' then I would sell it. The buyer would think 'Oh it's got a full service history, it must be ok', and buy it. I know someone who had a Ferrari, they had what they thought was a minor niggle with it, took it to an independent guy who told them to get rid of it pronto, as he knew that something expensive was about to fail. It had a flawless full service history.

The original equipment wheels should be 225x40x ZR18 front & 295x30 ZR18 rear. Cross fingers that Tiptronic gearbox is OK. I would certainly use it as a smoker until sometime in the new year and perhaps use it as a raffle prize

Funnily enough after watching a few 996 videos this came up. It looks very nice, its either a massive bargain or has been shifted on at the first sight of a big issue. look at 996's at the other end of the market, for sale in Porsche specialists and they often say things like "£11k spent in the last year" or "recent £5k suspension refresh". They're great cars though, and topical at the moment, rising in price rapidly as they are indeed seen as a "proper enthusiasts" 911. Good ones anyway........... Good luck, keep it and prove us wrong!

I'm guessing a door lock solenoid, based on the dented door. The alarm "bips" if one of the solenoids isn't closed when arming the alarm, so I'm figuring it annoyed someone and they got it fixed.

Your getting me wanting another old bike, they are SOOOO cheap right now, and it's only 2 1/2 weeks since the last one. My prediction is this winter is going to be a buyers bonanza and spring will turn that tide quickly. ( I have a theory that after a certain number of years people have had enough and just start spending again, whatever governments do makes little real difference)

What no car check sites can tell you if the vehicle has been in an accident not involving another's car, and it's been repaired not involving the insurance company ,has to avoid it being a cat N or S. Found that it had by getting it checked independently.

Make a great series of videos. prove you can buy a cheap Porsche, use it as a cheap runaround and then raffle it off in April / may next year.

Check for cylinder bore scoring. Tends to be why 911s burn oil and end up at auction.

Love the 996... yours is the face lift though not original fried egg model... yours come clear with the r2d2 style washers in chrome... technicly these 996.2 are more prone to ims as has the revised 3.6 engine single row bearing (prev 3.4 dual row bearing) However ims is more blown out of proportion online than the real world... , failure rate on early dual row was around 1% and single row was about 11% (figures from the american class action lawsuit back when these were new) ironicly the problem seems to happen more often in early ownership and first 60k miles or with low mileage cars not being driven often... so you will find most that survive today will most likely either be pretty safe or have had new engines or upgraded bearings etc already... I have an early 3.4 already but feel tempted with yours still... assuming you decide to shift it on so i may have to pop up and have a little nose... im only down the road (SHADOW WORX) Oh a nice mod on the tiptronics is to convert the crappy buttons on wheel to flappy padels using merc ones and a manual wheel to mount them on/delete old buttons 😎👌

You'll have oil pressure even on a pint of oil, until you don't. We always take plenty of gear when picking cars up, including a tow rope, petrol, oil, water, saved me loads of times. Your not picking up new cars. Porsche looks great tho and a bargain if it's OK. Probably rack leaking if it's down on fluid. Check bores for scoring, especially as it's using oil. I'd expect something is up as its a wbac one, last owner dare not sell privately. Lovely looking car tho.

What trade plates , were you aware that if trade plates are not on the extremities of the vehicle then it’s only insured from where the plates actually are ie if in the windscreen which isn’t legal the area of car in fron of that isn’t insured

You would make great money breaking that, especially if the motors good. Plenty of space down the farm too. Have a look at spares prices, modules, panels, glass etc. it soon adds up on a 996! The bare engine alone!
