Not directly relevant to your experience - full disclosure is good - but to put things in perspective.
I sold my 912 to a good friend who'd already bought my 356 years ago... We're buddies, no issues.
I'd owned that car for 15y and everything worked A-OK, the car NEVER broke down. The day after he picked up, he broke down (carb spring snapped), the day after the driver window dropped in the door, and the third day something else happened that escapes me (electrical)... $#%$ happens on old cars, with the best maintenance and intentions... I fixed all that for him incidentally... Then he got home and his bike rack fell on the car (it's him, not me!!!)
It's your duty to inspect a car. I once bought an early 911 w/o inspecting in person, that turned out to be a spliced car with 3 VIN and a dead rat putrefied on the engine cooling fins... PPI mechanic lied thru its teeth. My bad, at the end of the day...
Anyway, it happens.... Make the car right and enjoy it if you still can, it'll be worth it in the end !
