2nd Targa, I posted some information from my own experiences with tip on your technical thread. As far as SAI issues, it is easy to avoid. Don't drive the car like an LOL (little old lady). The tips have more secondary air injection problems because people get lazy with the transmission and do not rev them. These cars need to driven hard and be taken to redline often. Also it is wise to remove the upper valve covers every so often and flush and blow out the Secondary air injection ports which are accessible thru the three top upper valve cover bolt holes. Special adaptors can be made to screw into these holes which allow you to inject fluid and compressed air. The resulting flow can be heard out the tail pipes once the ports are clear. If you need the procedure PM me. We have seen engines torn down to unplug SAI ports, which could have been cleared this way. I have cleared up SAI issues which have already thrown a check engine lite and code using this procedure. I think weenie is right, 40-45K. What does the car fax show as far as stories? Nothing wrong with quality repairs from small incidents that are don so they cannot be detected. Noticeable paint mismatch is not so good. Hopefully you can get it corrected. Make sure you have the car thouroghly inspected by an expert body an so you are aware of any rea paired areas. Sometimes incidents are not reflected on car fax, and can be covered up buy not running an accident through insurance. When we bought our 993 I made the dealership put the car inside under the lights. I then detailed it, and found out about all incidents, and partial paint repairs. I then had them put it up on the lift, so I could inspect the underbelly, and make note of the common oil leaks. I had the price adjusted accordingly, and got the car for $28,000 with less than 68000 miles
