But it is a CPO car, isn't it? That means quite a warranty on the car and its replaced driveshaft.

Seems to me that Porsche wouldn't take that risk unless they were pretty sure it was just a simple repair with no other damage or issues.

I'd like my first 911 experience to be perfect, so will keep looking and checking out HFS! -Brad
The quest continues! Good call walking away, and good luck.

This is just God's way of telling you you don't need a front driveshaft...

But it's not like they came out and looked at the car themselves. The dealer took the car on trade with CPO in mind to help sell it. If they didn't qualify it, they'd take a financial hit, so I don't think you can say that because it is CPO that it can't have a problem. If I couldn't talk to the previous owner, I'd probably just pass.
