No chrono is a bummer so get the softronics Flash and you can add the sport mode same as the chrono with the better throttle response .its a must in my book .I never drive without sport mode on its just too slugish for me .
I say if you can get it for 38 to 40K its a good deal with the air bag light fixed.it could be many things ,sometimes they dont reset if you dissconnect the battery but if you get the softronics software you get the durametrics software and you can clear these codes in the future cause more will come on here and there (service reminders)

If he wants to sell this car, the owner should fix airbag issue before you buy. 35k if he doesn't want to fix the issue. This gives you a protective buffer in case something is really wrong with the airbag system. If covered by warranty, then no worries. I would still offer $35k for your time to take it in to the shop to get it fixed.

My friend is a dealer , he find this car for me
So I need to check everything before I make an offer , I'm afraid that there is problem with the air bag because an a accident.
Other then the airbag problem , there is common problem that I should check ?

I know PASM is a must to have in a Porsche , there is some after market parts instead ?

What about ipd plenum with gt3 82mm throttle and chip update , I will notice any different ?

PASM is nice, but not a must, especially if you don't have 19's.
