I posted this in my original thread re: AG in SoCal but I figured I would keep this thread specific to the PPI results in hopes of getting more feedback overall...

Monitors not run means car had dead battery or fault/s removed
Car should not pass emissions test at this time (monitor status)
Engine oil level OK
Ashtray lid paint (finish) peeling
Car smells lightly like cigar

It must be my emotions talking but I'm not so sure...
This is the thing - this car will be CPO'd if I move forward and new OEM wheels and tires are part of the deal.
The RR quarter panel doesn't concern me since there was no accident.
What I don't understand is the monitors not ready indicators?
The transmission pan sweating is also a big concern but I'm a newbie so I need more opinions before I pass 100%.
So far the consensus is clear and I'm leaning to the left big time lol

sound like car was tracked (not a sin) but not maintained/treated well (punishable by death). back away slowly, dont make any sudden moves.
and slightly off topic but:
oh for the love of...is this annoying crap happening to ALL model years??? :\

Now that this car is off the list - I'm down to 3 options:
C2 PDK 997.2
- limited options including no sport chrono but I figure if I need it I will spend the $1500 with my local dealer to add-on
- CPO w/ 18,000 miles
- $66k
C2S PDK 997.2
- being sold at original dealer so full service history is available
- original PDK tranny was defective and swapped
- 30,000 miles
- $70k + another $4k if I want CPO (new tires will be required)
The last option is to keep looking

The total price diff will end up being closer to $8k as I will get the CPO done on the C2S if that's the one.
#14
I didn't mention the other variables because those decisions have been made... I really need advice on the big issues right now
Cheers
