No service history...too risky?
I love this car at RPM but there are no service records with the car according to the owner. Too risky even with a clean PPI?

Sloan has a very similar car for sale on his site, only the interior is black and 22,500 miles. I believe he has had it for some time, so he may be ready to deal. Good luck!

Guys,
No comment on the car but I have nothing but good to say about RPM. Purchased some turbos and an ECU from him. There was an issue with the ECU and he handled it promptly and exceeded my expectations which seldom happens when dealing with problems over the internet.

Thanks guys...if the car wasn't at RPM, I probably wouldn't be interested at all. However, this is my first 993 purchase and I'm a little nervous

1) 13 oil changes- done yearly
2) 4 brake fluid changes- done every 3 years
3) at least 1 change Air filter- every 20,000 km
4) at least 1 change Particle filter- every 20,000 km
5) at least 1 change spark plugs- every 20/40,000 km
6) Check airbag system- year 4, 8, 10 and 12
7) and many visual checks

Well, let's see. It's a 1996 (13 years young!) so figure:
1) 13 oil changes- done yearly
2) 4 brake fluid changes- done every 3 years
3) at least 1 change Air filter- every 20,000 km
4) at least 1 change Particle filter- every 20,000 km
5) at least 1 change spark plugs- every 20/40,000 km
6) Check airbag system- year 4, 8, 10 and 12
7) and many visual checks

My perspective too. With 25,000 miles I would hope there is no service history. As far as anything short of engine R&R, I do everything myself in the garagemahal.
