Looks like a very nice 3.6. Some changes to the interior. The trim rings around the instruments are interesting. A good PPI would be in order.

How can I do a PPI, honestly I am new to purchasing a car overseas and be it a used one. Who do I contact for a PPI ?

Wait a few hours and some of the Florida owners around Naples will provide some options. I would ask the seller to send you copies of all maintenance work performed as well as a current copy of CarFax.

I remember this car !

There have been a post before regarding this car. Maybe 1½ year ago. You should do a very good inspection; there is something wrong with the height of the car, the damn thing looks like an off-roader.

@Vifa, I suppose you're from europe, just like me? The USA turbo 3.6 model has standard a much heigher rideheight than the ROW version (+20mm), and offcourse it shows!
And by the way, because of that, also the rear suspension (as you can clearly see on the pictures) is completely different on the USA version. They still have the (older) 1992 turbo suspension, while the ROW version uses the strengthened RS parts and a redesigned system.

Wheels are the correct Speedline versions oem 965 362 ... with 40 bolts with the SL inscription in them.

That's easy:

1) Obtain copies of the Carfax (available online) and all maintenance records (from the seller)
2) Negotiate a price, subject to a PPI and execute a Bill of Sale (samples available online)
3) Obtain a copy of the title and make sure there are no liens.
4) Make an appointment with a local Porache dealer or reputable independent shop for the PPI. To find that dealer or independent, check out the website for the local PCA (Porsche club of America) chapter where the car is locted and maybe post here on Rennlist about recommendations
5) Have the seller drop off the car for the PPI
6) Obtain the PPI results in writing and py for the PPi
7) If everything is ok, then wire the remainder of the money and obtain the original title. You will need the original title in order to export the car
8) Arrange for shipping with a moving company. I'd recommend a 20" container.

PM me with any questions.

BTW the pricing on this car is 2 years old. They are much more expensive now. RPM Sports cars has a 24k mile car for sale.
