Looking at buying 1999 996

Hey fellas.

I'm looking getting back into a P-car again after I sold my beloved 88 944S two summers ago. I'm going to test drive a 1999 996 later this week, an unmolested car with 76,500 original kms. I've always wanted a 911, and this looks to fit the bill.

Its had the IMS upgrade with the LN Engineering bearing set (original bearing included and is pristine), rear main seal, tubes, coils, plugs, clutch, oil/filter and a new battery installed. All work done by Mantis Porsche in the GTA. (They are renowned for racing, training, rebuilding , custom work, etc.) He has the work order from Mantis for review as well...I think that bill was @ $5,000.

A/C, heating, windows, etc. ALL function properly. It has the 18 inch turbo twists on it as well.

Ocean Blue with grey leather interior. I don't have the option sticker, however it looks clean. Absolutely zero rust, always garaged, never driven in winter.

Anything else I need to see/watch for?

He's asking $26,500 Canadian, however I looks like he's had it in his garage for the last year or so, a new Mercedes is in the driveway. He said that he's semi-retired, so that encourages me. (not a young punk car abuser)

Thoughts gents? Many thanks. Rick
