Yes I think that's my guess too, I just called the service dept and the manager and tech will be calling me back when the person who perfomed the ppi is back from lunch.

Otherwise the car seems flawless. Let's see what the results are?

Final update prior to 22nd, everything is fine via the PPI. I talked to both service guys and Reeve and they were glad to answer my questions. The Yes simply indicated that everything was within Porsche standards and had been checked without any issues.

Again thanks for everyones input!

Looks like a good car to finally buy.

I think your meticulous attention to detail will pay off. Congratulations and Enjoy!

Since everything else checks out, you should be good to go! Just make sure it does not have a periscope! (sorry arr0gant )
