Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello,
First, this is a great forum. I appreciate all of the knowledge available here.
Is there a list of recommended shops for PPI and service?
The following will be my not so breif introduction, I am still giddy about all this!
My name is Chris, I have wanted a 911 since before I could drive (20+ years). When I was younger I said I would own one by 25. I didn't quite make it, 11 years later I did finally pull the trigger.
About my 911;
1999 C2 with the following options according to
http://www.kindel.com/Porsche/options.asp
030 Sport Group
139 Seat Heating - Left
220 Locking differential
224 Active Brake Differential
340 Seat heating - Right
375 Clutch lining without asbestos
375 996: Color coded seat backs
408 18" Technology Design Wheels [1996]
424 Automatic heating control
425 Rear wiper
438 Comfort seat right
688 Radio cd CDR210
936 Leather seats rear
983 Leather seats front (NOT REAR)
983 Leather seats front and rear
C02 Equipped with catalytic converter
It has 38K miles. The car was serviced regularly but only the initial service was stamped. I also know the car was in a crash 2001 (I think). The crash was not signifcant, I would have never known but it does show up on carfax. A local body shop could not even tell it had been in a crash.
I believe the reported crash to be somewhat of a value detractor, but how much?
I also believe the service not being stamped also has some impact on value? but how much?
My opinion and others I have had look at the car (no Porshe people) conclude the car is in excellent condition; There are no Porsche experts locally (Rochester, MN) that I am aware that could perform a proper PPI.
The paint is near perfect (a couple chips and minor scratches).
Everything seems to work.
The car is very strong and does not leak any fluids.
There are a couple of interior rattles/squeaks plus a couple of minor interior cosmetic items (very minor and I think common).
Otherwise no issues.
The car has a 30 day / 3K mile warranty.
I plan to have an Post Purchase inspection done at a dealer soon (within a week).

Welcome to the Porsche fold! I'm not aware of anyone in the Rochester area to do a PPI. I'd suggest AutoEdge in St. Paul. They work on lot of our cars and can take good care of you.
Be sure you join the Nord Stern Region.

We are a very active region and have a bunch of members in Rochester.
