Default Questions about this 911

There is a 2013 911 Carreras S at Livermore Porsche in California. It has the options that I love but the Carfax has a few recalls that worry me. Would any of you fellow Rennlist members take a look at the Carfax and see or advise me if I have anything to worry about or are they just normal issues. Stock number 5PU012....3rd car on the 5th page of pre-owned inventory. GT Silver/ Black interior with ceramic brakes. Thank you in advance for all your help. Not leasing but want to buy the car but maybe I am paranoid about the Carfax and need some advice! Can't afford to make a mistake for this kind of money. Thank you again!

Please post a link to the Carfax or at a minimum, tell us what the issues are...couldn't find a link to any Carfax on their site.

Help us help you!

I've had 2 of those 4 recalls done on my 2012.5...obviously not the other 2 as mine is a manual.

I am sure someone could speak to the PDK recalls, but recalls on every car are normal...I wouldn't worry...to me, that is a very clean CarFax.

Looks good to me.

The PDK software got a few tweeks since it came out.

Pretty normal stuff.

Thank you all, just was a little paranoid there was a few to many recalls. STG991 has been such a great help and truly a friend. He is very informative, especially for a newbie that is ready to spend a great deal of money to purchase this car. This will not be a lease but a buy , for hopefully a long time , so I am trying to do all the right homework to be sure I am getting am great car. Thank you all again for your advice!!!!

Since the car is at a dealer they should be able to tell you when all the service bulletins were taken care of and answer any of your questions about them.

These are normal and in my opinion not worth worrying about. I've had them all done also. None of them required a special trip to the dealer, just done at normal service time. I'd be more concerned if they hadn't been done as that would mean car hasn't had proper, regular service.

Thanks again all, I now feel much better and hopefully can close this deal very soon! You all have been a great sounding board and your advice has been much appreciated. The previous owner said there was a sunroof ratlle which I am hoping they will take care of before the purchase!

Looks completely normal to me. Those recalls are nothing to worry about.

Agree with the comment about these listings being good news because it does mean the car was regularly serviced. Looks like a good car!
