NEW BUYER? SPECS/THOUGHTS/PLANS

Flying Bones,that is a cool car with some neat features - those are the excellent full power adaptive seats, has the PCCBs, SC, a number of normally black painted body panels done in body color as an option by Porsche, and I like the 2 tone interior as well. Also looks to have a mechanical limited slip locking rear differential, which I think is not a standard feature on Turbos and very cool, vs just the traction control functionality that uses wheel braking (I could be wong and it's on all Turbos).
With the white exterior and black & grey interior, you have the whole monochrome spectrum covered It's a bit tough to tell in the photos, but look carefully at the front of the hood to bumper to fender gaps and make sure they're even and level. On the angle of the photos, I can't tell if the passenger side is a little larger than the driver's side or not. All the other body gaps look good.
On the PCCBs, you need to look very carefully at both sides of the rotors for any type of darker areas (delamination of the ceramic) and for any chips in the rotor edges, which happens when service people don't use the required dual guide pins for wheel removal, and just one one, then the wheel rotates and contacts the carbon rotor. Replacement PCCB Rotors are $4k-$5k each. If today is just a once over and test drive and you'll have a full PPI done if things look good, then the dealership should carefully inspect the PCCBs as part of that.
Good luck and let us know how today goes.

One question on the higher mileage one is the tune, as I'm not familiar with Markski as a tuning company. I also assume you're not in CA as trying to pass inspection with a decatted car isn't going to work.
Seems like you could find better candidates for around that same $75k pricetag.
