Need advice on a 997.1 s puchase
talked to the advisor there. He said none of the panels were removed so there doesn't seem as if there was a collision. In his opinion the car was most likely the car was keyed and repainted.
I think you made the right choice. If a dealer can not CPO the car, I'd assume Porsche said no way if they fell the car might be a lemon. I purchased a .1s 2 months ago out of Chicago. Very clean with 21,000 6spd, sport exhaust, full leather, plus many more options to list and the car was CPO'd 6/100K. I paid less than $60K.
Dont sacrifice for less. Be patient and you will find a great car. All I'd say....if you want Satellite and bluetooth factory integrated, make sure you ask if it is already installed. I've been looking for a good solution but have not found it yet. However, not having the radio on, I'm enjoying the sport exhaust.

Interesting development: op got in touch with the seller and relayed all this info to him. Seller sent me this email:
>>Come on. No one on 6 speed is going to listen to your dumb ***. *You =
have never even owned a Porsche. *Get a life. *I still have the car and =
wouldnt sell it to you for any price. *Stop being a hater. *The guy =
buying says your an idiot and a dreamer too. *He was the one who told me =
about your postings on 6 speed. *Get a life. <<
If op wants to buy a car from this clown he definitely should
I now have the auctio report in this car and it clearly shows paint work and frame damage - makes it obvious seller tried to take advantage of an out of state buyer
Makes sense now he tried to talk me out of a ppi and also advised against a fly and drive in favor of delivery
Btw seller is the auto port in largo

At 19308 miles it notes the transmission was removed to complete repair, alternator/generator replaced, maintenance performed, flywheel/flexplate replaced, master clyinder replaced, clutch system bled, battery replaced, transmission checked, and intake manifold gasket replaced.
12/13/10
At 22553 miles , transmission removed again, driveshaft seal replaced, engine cleaned, front crankshaft oil seal replaced.
I should have wrote: All those repairs would have stopped me..
