2001 Porsche 911 Turbo. Stock everything. It is black with black interior.

The Good:
Drives great
Exterior paint is in good condition. No scratches or chips.
Stock wheels look in good condition
69k miles
$35,000

The Bad:
Has wood trim and aftermarket ****ty wood trim fixes. It needs to be replaced. I need to decide what I want to do.
Steering wheel has wood and the top has a crack.
Windshield has a chip in it. Might need to be replaced.
Passenger window makes a noise like a rock is scratching the window.

Sounds like a good start is it a manual? There are some recent threads on the wood interior problems/fixes.

It is manual. They will be doing a rev report during inspection. I am new to rev reports so I will talk to them and add the values here if you guys want to help. I am trying not to get emotionally attached

Good idea to not get emotionally attached and be prepared to keep looking=lots of nice cars for sale and may pay to raise your budget to the 40-45 range.

Getting a ppi on a 2001 996tt with 52000 miles this Thursday.

I have looked a lot but am ready to buy. This one is within 4 hours of me and if ppi checks out ill go get it this weekend. Owner has done a ton of maintenance and slight mods.

Good luck with yours
