I recently founfd and bought a 99 996.It was owned by an 85 year old lady who stored it in a barn, on a dirt floor, and her road out was dirt and gravel, to the main county road.As she hadn't driven it in the past year more than a few times,I took it easy then after warm up and some miles on the highway I drove it 70-80 mph for the 6 hours home .I was fine all the way except I could tell the tires were old and dry.
Got it to my favorite Porsche shop and they serviced it, put some BG 44K in oil and gas, and gave me a long wish list of stuff.
first off I ordered a set of tires, and next I will get a set of struts.Then then there is a full degrease and underside steam cleaning this next week.
My list includes;vacuum line r and r,,coolant hose tee, cam covers, rear main seal,sparkplugs,Air filter, brake service, fluid change, trans service, fluid change- it's tiptronic,engine mounts,outer tie rod end, sway bar links.
I am on a bit of a budget, and need to prioritize.What would you do ?
Im doing tires and struts first...
I will keep this car a long time I had my last 911 for 27 years. the car has 101k on it, and was generally well serviced according to records. thanks all for advice here.
(I am a long time Pelican and Porsche owner who used to do my own service and repairs, but now at 76, I can no longer do much of that)
