Hi

New on here and new to Porsche (after years of kit cars I now want something I can get into and turn the key)

Looking to buy this car

And wanted to know what to look out for ?

Any help would really be appreciated

Various Buyers guides around Hartech & Jon Mitchell being two.
A few comments: Service history? Who with & what has been done. When did it last have brakes, condensers & radiators, any suspension work. Any of these could add an easy 5-10% on top of the price. Also what tyres are fitted, cheapy chinese or premium?
A 996 in Blue with Tip is a marmite car although it looks pretty good. Assuming it checks out OK at that money it would be a good buy although there are other 996s around for less. A read through of the Warranty would be a good idea, what limits does it have?
I know the garage they have been there a while.

So I didn't buy this one in the end

But I did buy a 996 manual

Had it a couple of weeks and have to say I'm loving it

Not sure how long I'm going to keep my license though it way too much fun

Mind you I only had it 6 hours before my Mrs stole it
