MB.... you could look at this a couple different ways.
The owner may have decided he wanted a 4 wheel drive car instead of a two wheel drive.
He may have decided he wanted an “S�? instead of the regular car... there’s not a good way of finding out short of tracking down the original owner and asking him.
Or you could have an owner like George that bought a car and upon getting it home decided the color didn't match the walls in his garage and then traded it on another color.
To add a little peace of mind you could ask the dealer to give you the maintenance records for that car. That would indicate any issues with it as I'm pretty sure it would all be warrantee (or at least been to the dealer) work at this point. The only other thing would be crash damage and a decent body shop could help you determine that.
In my mind you’re probably looking at someone that bought the car in a moment of weakness and then decided that he couldn’t afford it.
Quote:Hey, a porsche owner friend suggested that you guys/gals are the local guru's when buying a Porsche.
i am new to this web site and wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts or knowledge about buying a new 911 C2 cab. How does one tell if there has been any issues with the car if it is used, very low mileage (<1000 mi), and only owned for less than 45 days by the original owner?
Do people buy such a car and quickly trade up (to a C2S, Turbo or GT) in very short timeframes/low miles? Would this car have been taken out on the track and then sold to dealer or private party?
What should i know? Can't wait to buy one and join the club! the videos looks awesome!!
Thanks for any help!
