I am looking at buying used. I have a Porsche specialist tentatively lined up for a PPI, and possibly oil change and filter cut, depending on the maintenance of the car(s) I end up looking at. Out of curiosity, if someone had done a recent oil change, how long for the chips to show up in a new filter? Should I be suspicious of a very recent oil change? Also, where do I find the serial number on the engine, if I wanted to check if it has been swapped out?

I have visions of driving it to get it inspected and the engine blowing up on me, but that is probably just paranoia.

Right now there is a black 2002 S calling me with 29 K miles on it, I found a 2001 S with 84K miles for $5K less, but I am not sure I like the color or the miles.

Thanks in advance.
