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.

that's a good price . get a pre purchase inspection , well worth the money .
and where you are, the transmission, the options, the car's condition, documentation, season of the year, tire brand/model/condition, top condition and rear window type etc all affect the price. Having said that, that is a fair price for an '01S. Can you get your hands on the 41k service docs to see what happened there. I'd also urge the PPI as about $250 well spent.
Yes that could be a great price, get the inspection. I didn't on mine because I received detailed documented records, though after spending much time on the forums learning and doing my own maintenance I would encourage others to get the PPI. Hope it works out for you! Let us know how it goes. First Porsche?
