Default purchase 996tt

What would you look before purchasing a 996tt? Is there something "special" to know about this model, I mean things such distributor belt or dmf on 964, engine fault ( ) on 3,4l, and any problem that "usually" comes on with this car...
Thanx for answers Alberto

Berto, spend the $300-400 and get a good PPi form a reputable dealer. Otherwise, a lot of the problems of the 964 era or 993 days have been eliminated from the 996s.

You may also consider becoming a contributing member to renntech.org; you will then have access to all 996TT TSB's.....126 total last time I checked.
This may help in your research/decision.
