Hello
I have a 996 C4S cabriolet and have had a official Porsche inspection and a independent specialist and from what I understand the car has a lot of issues with corrosion under the body.
I have attached a video sent to me of this. I have since had the brake pads & discs, and struts taken care of. I intend to look into the tyres next.
My question is to those who know more of this - from the look of it, is it a disaster waiting to happen, or is it something I can look into bit by bit over the next year or so? I was informed that the costs could go from £10,000 upwards to take care of this.
From the feel of it, it drives fine but I would like to know others thoughts if I just have to suck it up and get the whole lot replaced?
Also would be open to any serious buyer looking for a car like this for reasonable offers, just to put it out there.
It has frankly caused me a lot of financial pain since it was given to me with a lot of issues with coolant leaks, water ingression, ECU being fried and others, but those are now hopefully sorted and I need to look into the underbody.
