Saw a possible purchase today. Tried to do a better job of checking this one out before getting the ppi

Body seems straight no evidence of body repair , stickers were found in front and back
Miles were 46k

I crawled around under front and back best as I could - looked a heck of a lot better than the last one I saw

The concerning noise was coming from the passenger rear , like a rattling - flutter
Seemed more pronounced when down shifting. I'm thinking exhaust pressure maybe muffler. Or more likely cat converter since it was mostly on one side.
I will be getting car inspected by Porsche shop but wanted to hear from this forum
Any thoughts ?
