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.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

there was a post on what to look for when looking at a Porsche for the first time to determine if its worth moving forward with a PPI, but i cant find it and I am looking at one today. Can someone send me a a list of things to look for when i am looking at it for the first time today? its a 99 cab with the hard top option. it has 48k miles and they are asking $34k. Clean carfax report. Thanks

POST 2Original post

Carfax is worthless. The basic checklist is to take it for a test drive and visually look it over. If it drives great and looks great, then get a PPI done. I don't know what else you need on a checklist...

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
