Default Purchasing a 993TT

Hello everyone

I am currently looking at a Forest Green Metallic 993TT with Cashmere interior to purchase and i have a couple of questions that i need your kind support in.

- The car had a re paint done to it a couple of years ago so would that effect the value a lot? even considering future value.

- I am planning to send the car to a Porsche dealer to have it checked as i am far away from the car and won't be able to see it. Are there any critical things i should look out for? the car has about 58k miles

And if there is any extra advice i would love to hear it.

Thats a fairly loaded question, depends on why it was repainted, accident? quality of repaint? original color? Need a trained eye to determine all of this before you can get a relevant answer to your question.

On a car like that, I would want to see the repaint in person. That's just me.

Is this car by chance for sale in eastern Canada (Ontario or Quebec)?

58k miles, 24 year old car, never going to be a museum piece, rare color, so demand for color will set value more than a respray “wart” assuming a quality paint job was done and not significant damage/repair needed. If poor job, then value will be impacted. If mechanically sound, good quality respray/repair, passes PPI, buy and enjoy. This is not an investment car. It may increase ‘ hold ‘ or decrease in value once you own it and drive it. YMWV. Enjoy your the ownership experience and instead invest in GameStop for profits...
