I bought the car.

I got it for trade-in value (kbb) because the WOMAN selling it needed to pay it off so she could start marketing her book she just finished, so it was a pretty good deal I think.

I can change the brakes myself, brake fluid, nearly all other maintenance on the car as I have experience rebuilding engines on other cars. (just sold a 400hp s13, that I built from the ground up)

The tires and alignement don't concern me becuase I will be upgrading the wheels and tires soon, and I will get the alignement done once I get to that stage. The guy at Porsche said steering wheel was slightly to the left, but the car drove perfectly. It doesn't bother me really because it's barely off.

I got under the car and looked at everything when it was on the lift at Porsche. I checked all the suspension arms, bushings, frame, etc to look for signs of accidents, saw nothing. The carfax is 100% clean.

I'll take some pics once i get her washed and detailed and post them up on here.

BTW if anyone knows and good shops/resources in the Atlanta area, let me know.
