I am looking at a 2008 997 Turbo and the carfax has a 3rd party warranty claim that states the turbo charger was serviced and the fuel system was serviced recently. The same car a few years earlier had the air intake manifold gasket replaced. Car has 38k miles.

Should I be concerned? I have requested paperwork on service and will request a PPI assuming there is paperwork.

Thanks!!

 

stuck vtg actuator rod is common "service" on these cars. Fuel system could of been anything and the intake manifold gasket...well, that one doesn't really make sense.

 

thanks for the reply turboslut. after finance application, insurance and scheduling the ppi the dealer sold the car to someone who was willing to buy it as is without ppi.

bummer...after months of research and shopping my first purchase attempt was a bust!!

 

Not a bust at all. Now you have learned which ******* dealer to never deal with (especially if you had put a deposit). I would also try and figure out which finance company approved the loan and reach out to them and see how long the approval will stay valid for (so you don't pull credit again).

In the end I searched for over 5 months and drove 400miles to finally get my car. It is a process to get the right car with no problems.

 

K Windy,

Thanks,
