Purchasing 2002 4cs remotely

[mjposner]

Looking at a 2002 4cs coupe, Silver of Black Leather.  87k msrp.  Car has 69k miles.  Ad claims upgraded exhaust, short shifter and ims (Parts upgraded in 2016: Idler pulley, Flywheel, drive shaft flex disc, pilot bearing, IMS, new clutch kit, larger coolant container).  This was all done by the prior owner himself per current owner (and driven 10k miles since).

 

Owner is looking for $26k.  Seems to be reasonable.

 

PPI company or dealer to inspect?

 

Other comments appreciated

PPI at Porsche dealer.

Ask for LN serial number, LN can confirm when it was purchased. Also ask for old bearing, I saved mine.
