Default Another Nick Murray Lemon?

I posted this in the 1991 section. I can't believe Porsche is possibly buying back another of Nick's cars.

On the plus side, he will probably financially do quite well and he seems to want another 911 Porsche (he said he was looking at a 50th).

Don't spec cars with rear wipers, problems solved. Had many Porsche problems, but never a problem with the 991 (owned 7) - never spec'd a rear wiper...

Feel for the guy. Seems to always be electrical problems plaguing him too.

Wouldn’t wish any Porsche owner that kind of trouble.

Lol that sucks a lot.

My ethos on 911s: less is more.
My .GTS is a stripper. Base radio. No sunroof. No driver assistance of any sort.
My .2GT3 well it doesn’t even have a radio.

So far been very luck and never had a single issue go wrong with either of the cars. I’m not saying adding toys to the car will lemon it, but less things to break, I guess.

Knock on wood.

His situation is insane! Having the cascading problems he originally had were terrible (but rare); however, the fact that he is having almost the same exact problems yet again is just crazy!

I bet that's a CAN bus communication issue. It's either a temporary short to ground or power that is messing up the CAN bus signal and disrupts communication between modules. Or it can be an actual module pulling the CAN bus down and messing up the signal. That's why multiple stuff go haywire for no reason.
Can't remember...does his car have a sunroof or panorama roof? If yes,just follow the water to the flooded module.
But of course the flat rate " technicians " will replace parts like they've learned when they took their ASEs...Lol. I think they've only heard of an oscilloscope during tech school but " warranty pay " doesn't actually pay to use it...
If Bill is their master tech Nick's screwed! LMAO!
Replaced the clutch master cylinder! LMAO! Amateurs...

I feel bad for the guy... I'm sure the % of folks that use these things as heavy in the snow/rain is low. I enjoy his videos, hopefully he gets a new one soon.

The odds of having two random 991s in a row with severe electrical gremlins are pretty long. The second starts to make it look more like a trend...the question is why.

I certainly feel bad for him and hope he ends up with a fully reliable 911.

With the 50th Anniversary sold right before he arrived at the dealership, what will he get next??? I'm voting for a Carrera T.

I don’t get the sense that anything he did should result in this...
