Re: Buyers input needed
Update- I purchased one last night and driving back today. I’ll post more later, but it ended up being Car B. I called a week later and got a different salesman that was incredible, amazing how much a difference the right person can make. The first guy must have thought it was too much work to work ...

Re: Buyers input needed
Just an update. Made an offer on Car B last week. I gave them their asking price, but they did not want to take it to the shop I chose for the PPI, said it was too far. And the deposit would be non-refundable. Even after sitting for sale for 4 months. It was out of state too and I did not want to dr...

Re: Buyers input needed
More fodder..... I did get some records for Car A. At less than 4K miles but 4 YO, it had a leak and they removed and replaced all the rubber seals, o-rings and pipes, al under warranty, but that was aa big job. I attribute this to sitting and being hardly driven. It also had both window regulators ...

Re: Buyers input needed
It was actually pcarshops.com, I found it
Little update, dealer came back on Car B and took 3K off, so now it is not apples vs apples. I am in a real quandary about this. Does this change the decision at all?

Re: Buyers input needed
Good input here. I am leaning towards the higher milage one because of the records. I talked to the dealer today and while he could not give specifics, he did say that the 1st and 2nd owner were guys in their 50s who were Porsche enthusiast and anal about their cars. The GM has a box of parts for th...

Re: Buyers input needed
I am just keeping this a rolling question thread :0 I have been looking at many and have two in serious consideration before pulling the trigger on a PPI, but I cannot tell which is would be the better choice, so please chime in. Car A- 27K miles, I would be owner 6. Some records but not like below ...

Re: Buyers input needed
Thanks for the input, I am learning more every day. Another question. As I search and look at carfax reports or ads, I notice some of them are in the Midwest/New England are where salt is used and eats metal. I hate rust. When I see these, I immediately pass on them because I know first hand what sa...

Re: Buyers input needed
Thanks to all. Another question- I have a few low mileage ones that have come across my plate, anywhere from 26K to sub 60K miles. What maintenance would need to be done that would possibly already be done with a higher mileage car, ie 80-110K miles. I know coolant lines being pinned is one. Are the...

Re: Buyers input needed
I have seen those and did see damage on one this past weekend, they were pretty jacked up. They look like a great product.
However, the ones I am talking about are the vertical stress cracks on the light itself, guess it is a common problem with age and those which were outdoor more.

Re: Buyers input needed
Thanks. I suppose it was some random thoughts, but really it was geared for E. Is an X50 worth paying more for? If so, how much more? It was good to get some more seat/sit time in them. One thing I did notice too was the stress cracks in the rear taillights, a couple of them had those. Is there a wa...
