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.

Get it. I paid 25K for mine at a dealer with 45K miles on it. You are getting it for a good deal. I wish mine had the equipment yours does too. Hehe... you are going to love it.

thanks guys.

Conrad,

I saw some of your other postings with your pics. I think you have the same color combo on the Porsche, right? Looks awesome!

Paul

Hey, just in case I lost my job or something over the next couple of years. With me driving it a limited amount of time and taking care of it, if I ever needed to sell it, I could get $20k back out of it couldn't I? My goal is to keep it of course because I've wanted one for a very long time. I'm just a very conservative, careful type of person (well, behind the wheel, I'm a banshee!) hehe
