Remedy451, I also bought a Porsche in Calgary last fall and had it inspected at Regal. No doubt they do a good job and their evaluation is unbiased. Regal had a list of deficiencies for my car and also recommended a cost for the repairs. Since I felt the asking price of the car was not unreasonable, the seller and I managed to work out a deal and did some of the repairs but not all.
Looking at your PPI, I don’t find any real concerns unless the seals are leaking more than normal. 996 are known to have RMS leaks and since you car is a newer 03 model, the seals should have been upgraded. Paint chips on the front bumper and hood are not uncommon for cars in the Alberta. I would rather have a nice bumper and hood without the ugly chips as long as the paint job is done right and you don’t notice the difference. Regular servicing and records are a must.
Just my 2 cents worth. $44k is a lot of money and you would want to spend it wisely. I don’t know the market for a Canadian 03 C4S. but if you really like the car, I would use the PPI as a bargaining chip.
Good luck.
