The Tampa 997 (the one from the start of this thread) is hard at $30,990. No service records included beyond what they did to the car. I can call PA dealers (as suggested above) in an attempt to get records but the 3rd owner is what worries me. Thoughts? Thoughts at $30,990?
I think it's a good $5K over what it's worth. With known deferred service you'll be into it for $36K before you blink. If you gotta have it just be sure there's nothing else out there in this price range.

Any used car is going to be a gamble. At $36k at least the OP has done the due diligence to mitigate the unforeseen. I overpaid to get the car that spoke to me and meet my basic requirements. Like I said before, Color combo, mileage, clean carfax etc. At $36k the OP will have the car he wants with some major wear and tear items already checked off the 'to do' list.
Thanks all, appreciate the input! Now time to crunch some numbers
I would like to see this car in person before I buy. A trip down south may be in order. Again, thank you ALL for your contributions to this thread - they have been invaluable!
EDIT: Also worth noting that the Tampa car firm at $35,990 is basically where this one will be after the required repairs. It may still be worthwhile to get a PPI done and see how that comes back.
