Default Problems with 2002 C4S'?

Hi,

I'm in the market for a 2002 C4S. Are there any associated major problems with this car? What should I look out for when inspecting this model (besides the usual checks for accident damage, etc)? Thanks in advance.

So far mine has been rock solid. In my research to find mine nothing stuck out as odd.

There are a few on Ebay with 25k miles.

Have a PPI done at a local (to the car) porsche dealer before you buy. Pre Purchase Inspection. They do an whatever-point inspection....gives you piece of mind. Check to see if its had an RMS (rear main seal) leak. If so, how was it dealt with. Also, the dealer, while doing the PPI can plug in the PST2 computer thingy and see if the car has been over-revved, and if so how many times.
Otherwise, the rest is basically the options you're looking for in the color you want. Good luck and post pics once you find it...
