This thing has been up for months. Screaming deal...except for that ticking from the valve out of adjustment. So glad that no one has taken the bait. I wish I had a way to warn off buyers. You can't tell me this guy doesn't know what he has.

In case the link is dead:
2002 Porsche carerra 911 125k fully loaded convertible top works good new battery A/C works it has a tick in motor needs lifter or valve adjustment it smokes when driving $9,500

He knows exactly what he has. That "lifter" issue is likely a blown engine. Bore scoring, yo!

What happens if you keep driving a bore scored engine? Is it 100% fatal in short order or could it just as easily drive for another 20k miles? (I hope to never hear that tick tick).

Thanks

Jake Raby explains it in his Rennvision videos on YouTube.

Thanks. I’ll watch it

There are people, I think here, have driven their scored engines for large amounts of time and miles while continuously adding oil. From the looks of my #6 cylinder not sure how much longer it would have gone. 808 is right Jake talks about it in his video series.

Time for the wrecking yard

Hey, does that saying work if I substitute "date" for "911" ?

GarrettSR5

For a few grand more you could have this, with a manual

It's so hard to look at those and know what it costs to rework the engines properly.

Prelude Guy

I would love to try that product called Engine Restore on a car like this. See if it does anything.

Fun yard ornament!

At least he's honest that it has a noise. He could just have told a newbie buyer that's what all 911s sound like. Not many good options when your engine is damaged.
