Buying a Cayman S with "Auction" on Autocheck
Autocheck report
Could someone help me translate this auto check report? Thanks
I'm looking at purchasing my first Porsche, a Cayman S, and am going through all steps for "due diligence". The one I'm interested has an entry as "Auto Auction Eastern Region/Vehicle sold at auction" from back in February 2018. Everything else looks good and it has warranty though 2021. I'll be driving to check it out in person tomorrow. So my question is, should this "auction" entry concern me? If anyone wants to chime in with Cayman S specific items to look for tomorrow I'd also appreciate that.

Just because it was sold at an auction doesn't necessarily mean there is cause for concern.
The first thing to know is what kind of auction. A salvage auction like Copart or IAAI would certainly be a red flag but wholesale auctions like Mannheim are not (but stilll need to know the rest of the history)
Porsche Financial Services uses Mannheim to sell off lease cars regularly.
What year is the Cayman and who is the seller ?

2015, private seller, and the dealer I spoke to, who sold to current owner, said he thought it was Mannheim, but really didn't want to offer up any more info.
