So, what can you do to make your Box stand out to a buyer like me? I don’t need to know that it has standard equipment, I don’t want to sort through that, it hides what’s unique. I want to know in order of preference:
Asking price
Mileage
Model year
Base or S
No kidding Great/Good/Fair/Poor condition assessment (I‘ll do a PPI so be accurate)
Private/Porsche Dealer/Major Dealer/Joe’s around the corner dealer
Available service records and by who
IMS replaced
RMS replaced
Miles on tires
Miles on brakes
Miles on rotors
Other replaced parts
Other enhancements like Audio, Radar detector
I really don’t want a car that someone has tweaked for more power

p.s.
I would add points to the PPI if it has the latest coolant cap. A car that's had the coolant tank/waterpump/coolant cap replaced as precautionary maintenance is a big peace of mind check box (enthusiast owned red flag).
Thus I would do a leak down test and not just the compression test to see what's up with the engine history.
