If the price is right for you I wouldn't have any qualms about 600 miles.

usually u look for signs of wear & tear. for example, if the car is new from factory the wheel weight is different than the ones dealer would use here if the tires have been changed. look for tire wear, brake rotor wear, bumper condition & rear quarter panel condition for any excessive chips or repaint. the interior, especially the seat, is a easy spot if the car is well taken care of or not. trust ur instinct. that would be my best advise.

to the OP, if the car check out ok i wouldn't worry about 600 miles. at the end u care about the ''deal'' more than the miles. again, trust ur instinct. good luck!

I purchase a used 991S with 600 miles a few weeks ago and it turned out great. I am elated with my purchase. But I agree, exercise some care and don't let the excitement get the best of your reason.
