2001 carrera 4 questions.

I am looking at buying an 01 c4 with 118k.

I am very unfamiliar with the 996 cars and even more so with the c4's...

What do i need to look at and inspect closely before i do buy?

I know of the rms and ims. Which i will take care of soon after buying.

Anything else to look out for or listen/feel for?


Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Never buy a Porsche without taking it to a well known, respected Porsche mechanic for a Pre Purchase Inspection (PPI). It will be the best money you can spend on a car.

And WELCOME to the club!

A PPI is a good suggestion for someone that has narrowed down to 1 or 2 cars but what about the case where you are trying to narrow down the field of choices on your own without the outlay of PPI cash for each and every car you look at?
