Default Looking for someone to check a 997 out for me in Huston TX.

Hello! I have been shopping for a 997 for a long time and think I found “the one”. However it’s in Huston. The sale guy sent a video/pictures but it’s hard to get a good read. I’m hoping for find an enthusiast that would be willing to check it out for me in person and see if there is anything I should worry about…. Mainly just cosmetic imperfections and such. It’s at a dealership currently. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Truly looking forward to getting into my first Porsche.

Just keep me know... I even have a paint meter. Just depends on where the dealer is. Houston is huge, literally an hour to get from one side to the other.

I didn’t realize Houston is so big! It would be amazing if you can make it by, and isn’t to inconvenient for you. I’m pretty sure the bumper has been painted but not sure about the rest of the car. I’m mainly wanting to know about condition and general wear, the sales guy glossed over a few spots so another pair of eyes on it would be helpful before I fly out there to pick it up.

It is no longer on the dealership’s website so it may have sold?
