As an ex owner there is no harm in trying to contact the previous owner. Here is the take on my being an ex owner. I sold my 2001 Box cheaply with a steady CEL light on.
New owner calls back and asks if I have the original Porsche mats. I say yes so come and get them.

Then he texts me later and asks for my permission to release service info from my indy shop. I was not willing to release it on the grounds that he got the car cheap and I don't want any more of my info released that is necessary. I did not respond to the text.

I don't know if he is a flipper of cars or whether he wants to add to his collection(the latter seems to be a good line lately if I have been trying to sell something of value).

To the original thread poster there is no harm in trying.

A cpl of wks ago was the 2nd anniverary of me purchasing my CSS. I had almost bought it months earlier but the seller backed out, so I know it was hard for him to part with it when I bought it. I debated about contacting him but I thought I'd let him know I still had her and mentioned that I'd gone to Parade in Monterey this yr. Also included my pic of HPP next to my car. He sent back a response and said he missed that car like a child. He had recently bought a 991 in Mexico Blue. Then he added if I ever wanted to sell my car, he'd buy it back.

He'll have to get in line, as there are already 4 ppl in front on him. But she's not for sale.

A few weeks ago, I got a PM from the board member on this list who bought my 2000 Boxster S that I had traded in to a dealership for 2010 Boxster S. I had no problem answering his questions and was glad to see that the car went to a good home.
