Worth doing a search on the dealer before spending any more time looking at that.

I`m confused. Its at HWM and yet there is a price listed. Surely that can`t be right.

Why is everyone down on HWM. I nearly bought from them last month. Looks like a lucky escape but not sure why

Id guess the timing belt snapped, probably at above the rev limiter RPM.
Ask to see the over rev data, I say ask as you can, whether you get it or not is another matter

Rules, there are rules so lets not get the thread pulled & just move on or take it to email.

That wont be a problem I would take my own PST2 and read out the data. engine rebuilds does ring a few alarm bells though.

To be fair there is a great black 996 turbo x50 coming up for sale soon...

[keep it lit]

has the car or the rebuilt engine done the advertised miles?

[porkyspecialist]

OMG, I said timing belt, FFS I meant chain

Mods point towards a heavily tracked car. Mezgers are bomb proof, so probably a badly missed gear change.

In any case, a very serious amount of care required!
