Get the PPI; sounds like a good deal to me. For what it's worth I just paid 20k for a 1999 with 22.5k miles on it.

If you've got even a small amount of tools and are slightly mechanically inclined, you could slap the pads and sensors on yourself with very little effort. You'd save about $350, too.

Car does sound nice.

If the PPI comes back clean, I'd jump on it. And the brake job is a snap...an hour to 1 1/2 tops if you've never done one before. And you CAN do it. Its got fairly new tires, a new rear window, battery, and a few other things. It sounds like a good deal to me. When you see it in person and if its as nice as presented, get the PPI and go for it.

BTW.. those are probably the smallest pictures I've seen.. hard to tell much about it from them

pictures

I know, but they are big when I open them on my computer. I want you guys to see them large, especially the new window. Maybe you can cut and paste them into your photo software and reopen them?

the brake job

So, with 46k miles on it, does it just need brake pads or more expensive brake work?

Hopefully the PPI will reveal what needs done. It looks like a fair price. I would be scared buying a "bargain" with a Porsche. Looks like it was taken care of.
