Looking to buy my first Porsche and I need help

Lies about this is not unheard of. The fact that it has the aero kit, "slicks", and the fact that the ceramic breaks have been replaced at such an early stage raise some questions about the "never been used on a track" assertion imo. What parts of the breaks were replaced and why? Everything associated with the ceramics cost a small fortune. Great for a street cruiser but I don't know that they're the first choice for the track which this seller may have found out the hard way. Just speculating here of course. Could be totally innocent and kosher. Just giving you things to consider as possibilities.

Get the VIN, then you can see if the car was a factory aero kit car or if it was added later, and you can see if it came with the PCCBs or maybe the owner upgraded to them. PCCBs are awesome if this will be a street car. No fade, no dust, and last shout the life of the car. Yes, they take more care doing wheel work, but I won't own another Porsche without them (where they're available); even bought a set for my Cayenne Turbo S that didn't come with them.

You can also inquire on Canadian Rennlist, maybe someone knows the car.

You don't have to worry so much about the brakes being ceramic. You should be able to put a set of iron rotors on there in the future to avoid the replacement costs of the ceramics. Girodisc likely has a kit for it.
