I've had the car PPI'd and everything looks good, price looks reasonable, Im thinking about pulling the trigger. Anything I need to consider? Thanks in advance, all opinions welcome!

Looks fine. Reasonable mileage for the year. Love 5-lug wheels. Carfax looks clean. 2nd owner only had it for 6 month or so?

NoMorZR1

Yes, I noticed that in the Carfax too. I really wish the car was closer to AZ to allow my own inspection.

Nah. Pass. It looks too much like mine.

Agate Rulz...

Yeah - If you like the color and options - buy it.. It looks great. You've had it PPI'd, so what more do you want to look at?

NoMorZR1

Agate is a great color. Summer temps where I live in AZ can be >120' so black exterior / interior not an option ! Needs 2 rear tires, rotors & pads, engine hatch struts and it'll be just like new.

I approve. It has steel rotors, so no need to worry about any track miles on the PCCB. Headlights and fog lamps don't look overly pitted - another telltale sign of heavy track work. Looks well maintained and CPO inspection does not mean much, but it's something. Price is correct, and the car is a beauty! Go ahead.

LOL. So true. No idea why Porsche can’t find a gass-filled-strut supplier that can make them a strut that will last for more than three years 3-sigma. I keep a set of 928 hood and hatch struts “in stock.”

On that subject, after you buy the car, buy a (small) box of black wheel weights and dole-out a portion to the guy that mounts your new rear tires. Else you will have silver weights on black wheel barrels.

Rotors and pads...that's some real money there! Get a quote on that. (Porsche recommends new rotors with every pad swap, but I don't change rotors unless there are cracks from the drill holes that touch each other or go all the way to the inner or outer edges.)

NoMorZR1

$2900 for pads and rotors, $875 for 2 tires, $80 for the hatch struts and we're good to go ! Appreciate everyone's input.

And I take it the dealer threw that in for you...?

I'm puzzled how the rotors were shot after 30xxx miles.

NoMorZR1

Correct. To be done on their dime. Good question about early rotor wear. Does seem a bit premature.

worf928

At 30k-miles I would expect the rotors to be worn to below Porsche's spec from mostly non-highway driving. But, Porsche's spec is typically extremely conservative. "Track guys" will wear rotors until they don't pass tech (cracks as per ---^ above) and that's - again, in my experience - roughly twice the wear of Porsche's spec.

2fcknfst

Indeed, especially premature - I just swapped out the original rotors on my 12k lb tow rig and I got 265,000kms out of them...

Good that the dealer is stepping up. Love the color.
