Default Need help...

Hi all, i'm new to this board and need some help regarding the purchase of a C2S, i've located a couple of candidates but don't know what to look for in the way of model specific weeknesses(am i allowed to say that here?) or problem areas. Any help would be much appreciated and thanx in advance.

Cabfab:

Given your unfamilarity with these models, I'd suggest that you find a competant, honest Porsche specialist where these cars are and have a VERY thorough Pre-purchase Inspection done.

This might cost you $ 300+ but its FAR cheaper than getting a car with some problems that were not disclosed.

Find a reputable professional and have them check any potential candidate for you.
