That stinks
As always I am torn about used cars but in this case hope to find a good one since there are owners out there who take care of their Porsches.By the by, I called a local Porsche dealer service dept to ask about running VIN numbers and they said they won't do it without the owner's authorization - kinda makes pre-emptive checking impossible. Even if paying for their pre purchase inspection with the car on hand they said they won't reveal the service history without "authorization" - is this normal or just Sonnen? I called Steven's Creek to ask them as well and after being handed around was stuck on terminal hold :P
