Sounds like the PPI on my '92. Not a big deal to make most items right.

FMI.....
if compression numbers are high and even, what would a leak down test tell you ? Other than parts are wearing evenly and within spec ?

 

It's a 1990 Canadian spec car. My question is: did these have passenger side airbags? (I read somewhere that they did starting in 1990 but the PPI evaluator said he didn't get a signal).
Concerning the airbag light, the bulb may have been removed or have burnt out because the steering wheel has been replaced by a non airbag wheel.

Tires from 2004 and still 'good'? PASS.

50K car, and people can't be bothered to put nice tires (the most important thing) on the car. I would walk away in disgust.

 

In that thread, Steve Weiner states that the subject cars compression numbers are even, so the motor is good. If there was a low cylinder, a leakdown test would tell if it is valves or rings.

 

His full reply:

 

If this is a Porsche specific shop I am surprised to see comments like tire tread good but tires from 2004. They should state they need replacing due to age irrespective of tread depth. Too many yeses and not enough specifics like rotor thickness and other cosmetic potential issues.

Otherwise looks like it is worth a closer look.
