Same as other mentioned above.
- Broken spoiler wall
- Missing cover on rear seat belt bolt
- Broken rear bumper with crack that may continue to grow.
- Rear center deflector is all glazed or sun burnt
- Missing bag for boot cover
- Leather on the seats need light reconditioning. They must have kept the top down all the time on this one.
Other than that, everything lese looks like normal wear and looks like a nice Cab once the top is replaced.
The belts are brand new so it looks like they did the 30K miles service.
Good luck and happy hunting!

It's a nice color combo. Is the dealer willing to take it to a shop for a PPI? Don't remember if you mentioned that or not. Best $300 to $500 you can spend. Figure about $1200 IIRC to have a new top installed, but my guestamate may be off. That was a price I was quoted a few years back on an earlier cab I owned.

jesus christ people, its a 14 year old used car. It won't be perfect.
Get a ppi, fix the spoiler wall, and enjoy.
I think the car looks great for its age.

This is great guys, (I missed the spoiler wall, as an example). I will be doing a PPI after I take an in person peek, and given missing a few receipts, I'll probably suck up the leakdown too. The top is on the dealer's dime, so that's all baked in.
Next Q: Fair price?

Hey...that shift **** is a "special wish" factory option...my coupe is the same color combo as this one and has this ****. It even has a special wish option code in the code list under the hood. The center of it is supposed to match the interior color, but this one looks like it needs a re-dye. Mine did too when I got it...used leatherique on my seats and this ****, and I think it looks sharp!
Looks like a really nice car overall...worth a PPI.

Here's another option if you would consider black - no affiliation ...
I purchased my 993 from Mark and he was very good to deal with.

I don't buy the top story. I had one do that as well. It was because it had a problem with the alignment and eventually burned out the motor. Very costly. I would have that checked. Also make sure they replace it with a OEM Porsche top and not one from a vendor.

At typical body shop rates, that's around 20 hours of labor! R&R'ing the bumper takes 3 hours max, and the repair itself is a half hour job. Scuff up the bumper, re-spray, wet sand, buff. This is a one-day quickie. You might want to get another opinion before paying the Porsche tax...

Car looks outstanding really. Engine bay is super clean. I'm worried about that crack in the rear bumper at the tailpipe though...looks expensive.
I'm getting no red flags on this one.
