I'm getting a 2007 911 S Cab

I posted the below in the 997 forum and haven't been moved off the first post all day.

I know nothing about these cars. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

He is basically giving it to me: He is my son's Godfather, very wealthy and in declining health. I have been Driving Mir. Daisy around for years for Dr's appointments, shopping, etc. His health is a mess.

Anyway, I am still in the process of getting smart on the car. I found this link: https://www.topspeed.com/cars/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-porsche-997-and-all-its-versions-ar195098.html

Any other sources would be greatly appreciated.

The good news is another friend of mine owns a car repair shop and has worked on all the Porsche's I have owned since 1987. He owes me $2500 in trade work and he will get it first after I bring it here to clean up. I will not try and start it, etc.

If it proves to be more than I want to deal with, I will sell it and give the proceeds to my friend minus any investment I make.

Again, any advice is greatly appreciated. My last 911 was a 1994 964 Targa I wish I still had.
