Seller base on the car fax , I see that the tires where mounted 10 years ago is that correct?, I see the transmission was drop but no indication of a. IMs replacement or clutch replacement. This is one of the 997 where you can replace the IMs without splitting the cases. Could you comment on the condition of the clutch and brakes. I’m interested in it.
What was the production month / date of this Porsche and has the IMS bearing been upgraded or replaced?
