Default Just got a 99 996 cab

Just got a 99 996 cab

All black

131k, manual transmission

Has the following options:
Power comfort seats with driver memory
Full leather interior
18 inch turbo twist wheels
Colored wheel crests
Hi-Fi sound
CD player
Porsche crest in headrests

Had a PPI done at a porsche specialist In Euless Texas. Engine and transmission are good. Fuel, coolant temp, and oil pressure gauges do not work. Horn and rear spoiler do not work

Body is in nice condition

Never thought I'd own a 911.
Fantastic car

Paid $11.5k

Nice! With such a low purchase price, you should have a little extra cash to fix some of the issues with the car!

Congrats and welcome. Time for some mods!

Also, that's a bunch of electrical issues all at once. Fuses? Water damage?

I would be looking under the dash. All those things that don't work all route through there.

Nice car, incredible price well done!

Fixed my horn this weekend. The horn button stopped working. Had to Dremel off one of the airbag screws. Replaced both horns, airbag bracket (horn button), and put on a steering wheel with better leather.

Also checked all of the fuses. None were blown. I'm going to start replacing sending units and see if the gauges come back to life.
