Hi all, intro post from me and my 996.2 which I picked-up last weekend from a user on here.
Car is a 2002 C2, bought on 146,500 miles but with a lot of love and attention from it's previous owners including a Hartech rebuild at 58k miles, full M030 kit at 106k miles and loads of other bits and bobs that only the true enthusiastic owner does! (Gearbox oil changes, ignition coils, 997 shortshift, wheels recently refurbed, etc)
The previous owner also fitted 997 sports seats and the car is a non-sunroofer - perfect combo for me as I'm tall.
Plan is to drive, maintain and enjoy. For the past 7 years my daily drivers have been two e39 M5s - the first I took to 213k miles, the second (which I still have) is on 170k miles and in the middle of a major bodywork refresh (new sills, respray, brake lines, etc etc).
Anyway, the 996!
When I viewed her two weeks ago:
Filling-up with fuel last Sunday having just collected:
And today giving her an oil change with a Porsche (Hengst) filter and Millers 10w50 which the previous owner very kindly supplied with the car:
Thanks to this for community for all the useful info I gleaned when I was looking for/viewing 996s and MASSIVE thanks to the previous owner Tom for a very pleasant, honest and enjoyable purchase - the car is great!
Stay tuned...
Cheers,
Rob
