Do NOT buy this 996TT
 

So over on the 914club bbs, someone starts a thread entitled:
"Help me Spot the Problem, 996tt".

Here is what he writes:
>>>So, I'm at a buddy's shop yesterday, and they pull a customers 996 Turbo up on the lift, because it has an oil leak...

Hrmmm... looks like the previous owner cracked the bottom of the case and they decided to make a nice oil pan for a 996, which is attached mostly using JB Weld.

Best part is, the car is being sold (guy is a dealer), and he just wants it to stop leaking for delivery. http://www.914club.com/bbs2/style_em...ult/av-943.gif

It works, and if I was getting the car for a helluva deal, I would drive it. But for some reason I think whoever bought it paid normal used 996TT price for it. <<<

that's bad, right? hilarious


BEST response, so far:
If I was stoopid enuff to buy a car w/o an inspection and found that out later....I be coming back with a tank and blow up the seller's house.

Course since I was stoopid enuff to buy w/o an inspection...I'd also be stoopied enuff to steal a tank.

That's flat out dishonest....

WOW ! Who is the dealer ?
These guys should be shamed.

that's some crazy $H(T!

wtf?!!!!!! I pray for that dealer.

That's horrible, karma baby!

yah. which dealer? i want to make sure it's not mine

It's so bad, it's actually funny!

Yeah, what dealer?

What city is it in?

Dang, thats so messed

Maybe he'll sell a GT3 with a C2 engine some day too. What a crook...

How much is involved to get a new pan anyways? Doesn't look like any suspension need to be be removed and maybe just the intake pipe.

I dont think that's a Porsche dealer.. probably just a guy who buys cars at the dealer's auction and post on craigslist ,auto trader and such... a lot of crooks in the business...

It looks like the poster that went to the shop is from Boca Raton, FL. That is some crazy ****!!!

996tt doesnt have an oil pan, it is dry sump. And I am just amazed at that terrible work.

booger master.
