Default Anyone know this car?

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...00&cardist=896

I emailed the owner but he doesn't seem to know much about the car. Instead, he gave me to talk to the mechanic who takes care of it. Wondering what you guys think of it and what kind of questions I should be asking to the mechanic. I've read some valve guide lines problems with 993 TTs and wondering whether I should be worry about it. According to the seller has stock turbos, seals, hosts, etc. Any good place to do PPI on it? Thanks guys.

Start with the Carfax report and then make sure that you have a top notch appraiser look it over. Put a paint meter on it and then determine if a PPI is worth doing. My .02 worth.

IMHO its safer to be patient and wait for a fellow Rennlister to sell their ride.
At least you will have a clear idea on the history of the car you are buying.
Here's one that is a similar mileage for almost the same price....
