Questions from a Prospective 986 S owner

You forgot to mention PRICE.

We will be able to tell whether your paying the right amount.

A very ballpark figure should be around $20k or less depending on options.

Really Low mileage is a mixed blessing, especially if the region you are buying from is moist and/or corossive. You can read lots about that in the forums.

Thats only 600 miles a year or perhaps 50 miles a month.

This is where a good PPI is important as the engine internals do not like to sit without getting a good coating of oil periodically, else internal corrosion could cause abrasive and corossive action from within. The IMS bearing and other seals need close scrutiny and perhaps even a compression leak down test would be prudent.

After its all said and done though, dont fret and enjoy the heck out of it after you've pulled the trigger.

I highly recommend a Porsche Performance Driving School.
Its loads of fun, you'll make new friends, really learn how to wring out some performance and keep yourself out of trouble.
