PPI'd this car. its been almost fully repainted. I bet you the seller (Jim in Largo - right?) didnt tell you that. He told me it had no paintwork at all. Carfax is clear but autocheck which he doesnt provide shows frame damage.
BTW he saw my reply to another thread asking about this car and been sending nasty emails ... He is some piece of work. Stay away at all costs.

As you can imagine by now, there are many 997s out there. Dont jump at anything close to the first ones you see. Take your time.
As an older 911 owner, I know how solid those things are, and these of today benefit from significantly good engineering and manufacturing. But the car you describe sounds like it was ridden hard and put away wet a few too many times.
