No price listed means that someone else has it on hold already.

No real service history information available... I'm assuming you'd look to do their add on warranty?

Correct. I will check if their warranty is available and the price if I transfer. I am debating now mainly because it doesn't have leather package, and tad high mileage...

36k miles is nothing on these cars. They are incredibly reliable. The early 991.2's were known for water pump failures, but Porsche has extended the warranty on the pumps to 10 years.

That doesn't seem like high mileage to me... The 2017 Carrera and then the 2017 Turbo S I traded it in for both had similar mileage...

thanks, the hunt continues. you mentioned not a great time to buy, is that in general because of summer or you think prices are inflated as with everything else?

the sound, nostalgia. the turbo cars (991.2 and newer) perform better if you live at any substantial altitude.

I wouldn't say there's an advantage, more like different tastes.

Some people are extremely passionate about aspirated engines because they say they have a more linear power delivery and usually rev higher, and they pooh-pooh turbo engines and call them "vacuum cleaners".

Others like me very much like turbo engines and having all the torque available right away at low revs.

got it. Do most people recommend a PPI prior to purchasing a used Porsche? I think that may have scared off the last seller as I asked for one.

PPI are ALWAYS a good idea. A lot of people will tell you to walk away from a potential buy if the seller will not accomodate a PPI.

Can't hurt asking for a PPI, and doesn't even need to be at a dealer ...unless it's a manual car and you want an overrev report.
Ask about any paintwork.
