I got mine knowing the 2.1 PCM would turn on intermittently. I was offered to have it swapped with a used working unit found by my indy shop on craig's list or other source. In the end I used a 300 credit by the seller to buy an Kenwood aftermarket head unit that had backup camera capability along with iPod/pandora/dvd.
Wanted backup camera to help backup into paddock space wearing helmet and Hans device. Mezger engine sounds great but I liked having options.

If the radio is the ONLY issue I wouldn't hesitate much at all if you want a GT3 that has a good PPI and the color that you want. My 0.02c

This is a valid point. You're buying the seller too, since even with a PPI they will never spot every issue that may be under the covers. When I got my RS I knew it wasn't perfect, but the seller was very up front about all the known niggles (all minor) and as I've ripped the car apart to do 'stuff' to it I've yet to find any surprises (like body work, crappy mod work, etc).

My take on it would be if the radio was the only issue, it wouldn't stop me from moving forward. But if you're getting weird vibes about the seller... maybe it is worth walking. I'd still go check it out since you have the ticket, sometimes when you have $ in hand that can change someones mind.... Good luck.

+1 on seller vibes...i think you're avoiding a future headache.

btw, when i bot my C4S, the owner agreed to lower price to compensate for what was found on the PPI for ims/rms/clutch. if he HAD acknowledged those items PRIOR to the PPI, i could see why he wouldn't lower the price. however, since the car was represented a certain way, anything that wasn't disclosed should be factored in for the final price. otherwise, the seller should say here's my price and it's "AS IS" so people can know before spending $200+ on PPI.
