Hints on buying a 2001 911C4

[skupferm]

I have my eye on a 2001 C4 with about 58,000 miles from a non-Porsche (BMW) dealer. Other than the usual thing of having an inspection from an independent Porsche mechanic, any helpful household hints or issues with these cars? I plan to use it as a daily driver.

Thanks...Steve

car is pretty much bullet proof. I think Porsche inspect is $200

Can you look at the service records? Can you tell if its been painted(and if so why)?

Its not going to have had much done, except probably fluid changes, brakes, tires, some interior touch up. Invoices from the dealer should be around. Few shops had the Porsche CDs and manuals to work on 996. Have you lifted it up and looked under the car- were the pans flawless?

Its going to be a car that someone used and you will be able to see a little bit of how they treated it, eg, you can tell the difference between whethere it was a man or a woman.At that mileage - well
