One cylinder with 155, 170 and the rest were 160-165.
Some tranny seals starting to leak
valve cover gasket needs replacement at next adjust.
brakes are at 40%.
Car has only been driven about a 1000 miles since this inspection.
The current owner is just retired and does not like the heavy clutch of the porsche model.
VIN number#WP0AV0911ES120847 if anyone has an open carfax and is feeling kind.
I want to take it to John Walker but the guy is getting tired of tire kickers and is losing interest in selling it. Anyone got a good Porsche mechanic in the Auburn, WA area?
Thanks

It's interesting that you mentioned the owner didn't like the "heavy clutch of this model". Before I bought my '86 just over a year ago, the previous owner used the same words to describe the clutch. The PPI I had done before cash exchanged hands discouverd a worn clutch (82,000 miles). The new clutch went on his ticket and saved me just under $2000. The new clutch is smooth as silk, my previous owner drove the car with the new clutch and nearly changed his mind about selling the car...have the car checked out by a qualified mechanic, it may save you thousands later.
