Looks mint though: https://healeyfactory.com.au/product/2002-porsche-911-targa-996/ Twelve to eighteen months ago you would have said way too high but in this current climate nothing seems to be of no suprise in regards to pricing. Certainly does appear to be a nice example of a Targa 996 going on the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapnHyaku Posted 25March, 2021 Report Share Posted 25March, 2021 I wonder how many slightly soggy cabs and targa's are going to come on the market after this rain? I have already helped one relative with a leak emergency where the car had become a mobile paddling pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drains get blocked with debris and the scuttle can fill up with water, potentially rusting out the brake booster and if you’re really unlucky you can unwittingly hydro lock the engine.

If the water level is high enough in the scuttle it can seep into the back of the brake booster through the bellows. Apparently if enough water gets into the booster and the car is started with a booster full of water the vacuum line can suck the water into the engine and hydrolock the engine. i think Porsche might’ve revised the below design for later model years, not sure if this resolved the issue. i just check/clean out the drains in the scuttle every few services, surprising how much debris gets in there even with the car garaged.

You'll see the drains up on the scuttle in front of the windscreen - take off the battery cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2000 Posted 27March, 2021 Report Share Posted 27March, 2021 I reckon this is the kind of thing that the mechanic should be doing when you get it serviced. I tend to ask for it to be done, particularly the sunroof drains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
