So there are around 200 fewer hours on the Airbag module than the DME hours for a 991.2 with 40k miles on it. Shop said no sign of repair/paint work done and clearly the numbers are super close, but want to get thoughts on this? 0 over-revs and no other real issues on the inspection. Would this scare you off?

Carfax etc shows clean history as well. No sign of any paintwork.

Don’t stress it if all checks out. Could have been replaced under warranty at some point.

A clean Carfax on higher end cars means nothing.. most pay out of pocket so that doesn't get reported. If there's no paintwork shown with a meter, you're usually good (can always be something behind the plastic bumpers though). Like others have said, sometimes you get funky CEL's when a car is new and parts are replaced under warranty. Airbag lights/errors on Pcars are nothing out of the ordinary. I've bought an sold literally hundreds of Pcars. If you want to post any pictures I can usually tell immediately if there is a problem. I try doing that as much as I can on here to help.

Appreciate it, I bought the car. Shop pulled fenders etc and said it was clean. That's why you pay for a thorough PPI! Also, looks like there was an airbag recall on 17 911s so good chance that's what happened since the miles are so close.
