Figured. The landscape doesn’t exactly look like middle Tennessee. Pretty car though.

While I was looking for my 04 996 C4S, which I just paid for yesterday, I came across this guy:
http://expomc.com/listings/2004-pors...rbo-cabriolet/

I would have easily spent the extra $12K for the turbo but honestly, the low miles and questionable odometer thing made me a bit nervous.

Maybe one of you brave souls would be interested.

I have a question, when you guys are ready to negotiable with the seller, do you agree on a price and then go get a PPI and if everything checks out you pay the seller? It would make more sense to me if I get the PPI first and then negotiate on the price base on the PPI.

I would get the PPI first and then negotiate on that basis. Of course if you don't buy the car you are out that money, but much less of a headache than buying a car with major issues.

Good question. I would make and offer contingent on the PPI not finding any major issues (same as buying a house with an inspection). This way the seller knows you are serious and you start at an agreed price. If the PPI finds issues you can negotiate or walk away.

Thanks for the feedback gentlemen, if I want the car to get a PPI prior to negotiating, wouldn't the seller think I am serious about the car as well? It seems that most sellers are willing to allow a PPI but i wasn't quite sure on the buying process. I've never had to buy a car with a PPI, were mostly new. Seems like buying a Porsche is similar to buying a house with the inspection.

Last Porsche I bought with a ppi we negotiated the price contingent on the PPI. When the PPI was done there were a few minor issues, we adjusted the price accordingly and the deal was done. Don't pay for a ppi unless it's a car you want at a price you want, just like buying a house.

This. And put down a deposit to hold the car.

Also keep in mind a good ppi can cost 250-500. If someone does a ppi on a car I am selling, I am not really negotiating much if the car checks out or has standard small issues for a car it’s age... You already paid a substantial amount and spent time to look at the car. Your negotiating position is not great at that point.

You guys just gave me a new perspective on buying a Porsche. Yup just like buying a house! Thank you so much for your advice.
