So I ended up missing on all three. I really liked the 03base the most but the seller choose to sell it to a local buyer before I could get to it. One the 02S sold in the mean time and the other owner decided to keep it.

I'm going to look at 04Base, 56k miles, this weekend. It has most everything I wanted and the price seems reasonable. Appears the 30k miles maintenance was done but I haven't seen all the service records. The problem I have is there isn't a great place to get a PPI. There is a local Porsche dealer but they cannot get it in until 18th of July. There looks to be a couple smaller shops in the area but I'm not sure of their Porsche expertise.

Could someone recommend some questions to ask the shops regarding a PPI? I figured I would have them do the following

1. Read the computer
2. Check the brakes
3. Check the suspension
4. Check the serpentine belt
5. Check the hoses for cracking

I know the clutch and IMS haven't been done, the car is priced so I will have those done if I get it.

Is there a special computer needed to determine if the engine has been over-revved?
