Smile Idiots guide to buying a 986!

Jeez this is harder than I thought ! I'm searching the usual places and finding some possibilities .. but they are not always local.
So if I'm willing to travel 30-50 miles to look at these I'd like to be better armed with info & what to look for .

Locally I can depend on a few places to do a complete PPI . It would be wise to do a precursory screening / viewing of my own . I'm sure I can rule out some candidates with additional basic knowledge.

A good example is a local car that I'm still waiting to have a ppi on [ I think seller is stalling in hopes of a faster sale this weekend ] His car looked nice at first glance but looking a pictures I realized the headlights were clear- could have been changed for cosmetic reasons . but the missing trunk sticker + clear headlights leads me to believe front end boom- boom

oil fill cap - "mayonnaise" - and these type of things are what I need to know
any suggestions are welcome
