Default Opinions on this car?

Greetings,

I have put a deposit down on this vehicle and am currently having a PPI done. It will be comprehensive and cover off on all the usual flash points for the 993TT. The car has 55K miles and had an engine out service last year. Also, it was re-painted in the past though when was not determined. It does have a clean Carfax.

I'd appreciate any comments or observations about the vehicle (condition, options, price, etc.) . I own or have owned 997 TTs and 991 TTs. This would be my first 993.

The car can be found at this link:

https://ebay.us/g7ibT5

Thank you!

Best,

G.

far from an expert, but I wouldn't touch one of these without having it on a lift and examined by an expert. (My $.02, which is often what it's worth, fyi)

Here's the PPI on the car. A compression test/leak down has not yet been done. I would appreciate any comments.

Thanks,

G.

Looks nice from the pictures. The valve guide tick could mean needs a top end done soon or it could be a long way off. Something to consider.

Certainly get a carfax and equifax car report. I forget now but I think equifax did car reports at one time. The two had some unusual differences with my car.

911Pervy,

This is terrific and I am greatly appreciative- above and beyond any response I could expect. Thank you! To confirm, this is specific to my vehicle?- there are many codes here not on the sticker. but indeed appear to be on the car.

Best!

G.
