Default New Turbo Owner, What To Look For At Delivery Inspection

Long story short, i picked up a 2004 turbo cabrio at wholesale auction for an uncle. b4 we send the car out to him i want to make sure everything is ok.

what are some of the things to look for or that can go wrong with these cars? Any recalls? What is the standard porsche warrenty? 2 years and some thousand kms?

i doubt there will be much wrong, the car only has 5000 kms on it, which is like nothing...

thanks for your help guys. pics and feedback of the beast will be posted when it arrives.

4 year US warranty, not sure about Canada. Drive it to check for rattles, tire balance, alignment, and diverter valve honking.

wross996tt: yeah don't worry about that... a lot of things have crossed my mind, like switching his carbon fiber pieces with my plain ones hehehe *evil* and filming a drift video
