Don't know the car, but curious as to why you're interested. It's cheap but has close to 88K miles on it, that's a lot for an 07. Plus you already have a really nice 2010 SY C4S.

That's so confidence-inspiring, showing an engine out of a different car......different colour car no less!

The car is not "fully loaded" it is plain jane with navi - basic Bose- hankook tires-paint is 8.5 in my book.. Many 1.5 inch clear coat scratches and one pronounced one on the front left fender. No sports chrono. No bt. No dimming mirrors.
The tint job is aftermarket and poor. Clutch was changed by previous owner and no idea at what millage.
Back breaks are 20 percent left.
He does not want to get a Porsche inspection... But is ok with an independent

Forgot to add the positives.. Front end does not look like a 150,000 km car..
Inside seats are very nice. Replica wheels are mint. Winsheild is not pitted.

Looks like a lot of car for the money. I'd be curious why someone doesn't want their car inspected by Porsche though.

In my opinion, I'd probably look for something that might cost a bit more but has CPO warranty and many fewer miles.

Tell your brother to give me a call or email. I'm selling my 06 C2 with CPO and only 60K KM. It'll cost a little more but the CPO has saved me quite a bit of money since I've been daily driving this car (clutch alone would have set me back $4000).

I have full documentation of service on the vehicle and a few spare sets of tires and rims. Canadian car that can be re CPO's easily and Porsche can do a full inspection if they want.

Did a French Canadian drive it?
If so, check the interior for poutine stains.

On the serious, that front end looks a bit too good.
I'd get it inspected for previous front end crash damage.

No poutine stains inside is very clean ..

I agree with you.. the front is too good looking..for 150,000 km.. How much would an engine rebuild cost ? or tranny ?

I tried to get a service records from Cali. and called 5 dealers with no success.. this is even more fishy..
He has no bill of sale - no service records-one key - no previous history. The car is registered to another person not him ( perhaps to save on insurance ) dealer plates..

I had my calipers painted red (professional) with the Porsche logo. No visible differences and based on my track time I can tell you an S has never pulled on me. Really strong 3.6. Has sport chrOno too.

Either tranny or engine will set you back $10K
