Any you willing to buy a car out of state? Ideally I'm trying to find one within 500 mile radius from me and I know this eliminate a lot of potentials out there. I just can't find myself forking out this much money buying a car site unseen. I'm also hesitant to fly out there in hopes that the car is what I want and drive it home. I guess this is why it's taking me so freaking long to find one...?

I always ask for cell phone pics so I know they are recent. PPI and DME if its manual. Then fly out for a final check or just ship it. I bought mine sight unseen, but it was through a friend of a friend's dealer. That being said, one dealer I was about to buy from stated, in text form, brand new tires all around and the PPI revealed not only was tread about 50-60% left, but some of the tires were from 2010. Don;t trust anything the dealers say unless you have backup evidence, like cellphone pics.

It's funny you wrote this......after reading all these posts, I started wondering: Could the 997.1 market actually drop due to these concerns? What an opportunity.

Do you guys think this 05 C2 a good deal? Too bad this year had the smallest weakest IMSB.

Little bit better lighting in pictures would help. When I got my 2007 C2S off auction they picture weren't that good and well I got a surprise when it came in. A supposed 4.5 out 5 was a 2...took a lot of work to bring it back to life.

Yeah pictures can be deceiving to say the least.
