Unhappy Results from the PPI -airbag module?

Today the PPI was done for my "future" 951, results:

Tyres shot
Front shocks shot
Engine oil leak
All belts must be changed
All filters and liquids must be changed

And the most worrysome of all: the airbag module is not working and must be changed

What is the price of this module? can it be bought used?

The owner of the 951 doesn´t want to lower the price so I must be careful or wait

Eh, you don't really need one of those anyways.

Exactly why 100,000+ of these cars manufactured didn't have them

OK, so I can live without having an operable airbag, but this fellow bought the car in march and he wants his money back without having spend a dollar in the car.
The price must go down or else

I think I will wait and he is going to learn the hard way that this cars are not easy to sell

Is it easy to find Porsches in Argentina? There are lots of them for sale here in the States, maybe you could import one from here.

Waiting sounds like the idea to use.

IF the owner let the tires get shot, shocks get shot, the belts be overdue and drive with a bad oil leak, probalby NOTHING maintenance wise got done. You could end up with a ton of issues shortly after purchase.

thanks for your answers!!

Importing used cars is forbidden in our country and European, EEUU and japanese cars (except those made in latin american countries ) pay a hefty tax
Here a new Cayman S costs 110.000 U$S

Doesnt sound too bad. Those are all things that you'd probably have to take care of anyway.
Pull off the airbag wheel and put on a momo.
