too good to be true

Hello everyone. Thanks in advance for your comments.

I am thinking about purchasing a 2000 Carrera Cab with 100k miles.
The following has been done:

new rod bearings
new main bearings
new rod bolts
new intermediate shaft bearing and upgraded shaft
new chain rails horse shoe and saddle
new cam chain rail repair kit
valve job
new water pump
new oil filter
new gaskets including updated rms
newer breakpads
newer sensors
newer rotors
newer tires
warranty on rebuild for 6 months or 6k miles

I am buying it from the shop that did the work for $17k. Shop is really small and unknown in porsche community

interior and exterior is in good condition.

what do you guys think

any suggestions to mechanic in long beach ca area to do ppi

thanks

I would highly recomend you have the PPI done. See Tony Callas at Callas-Rennsport 310-370-7038 I know him well. Their facility is probably the closest and they are factory level on all models through current and are well versed in 996/997 engine rebuilds so they will be able to spot anything that looks or sounds wrong with the refurbished motor that car has.

+1 on previous post, Callas will probablly charge double what average PPI cost but you will probablly get 3 times the info from anywhere else around here.

Was the engine rebuilt by UFO?
