Just posted Letter from my Porsche inspection, this morning, June 12th.
@cwoodman67 DME report showed ZERO over revs. Car is like new
Just had the DME report today and it is now uploaded. O across the board.
@cwoodman67 I am going to Porsche now, hopefully I will have it up on the site by 2 pm. Email me incase Pcarmarket doesn't post it in time.
Do you happen to have a DME report showing any over revs?
Car is still under PORSCHE WARRANTY through December 2020.
@Rarsenault Porsche has always offered a lot of variety and many ways to spec the cars.
@FinnytheJRT9 it does make sense. I just didn’t know it was like that for a couple of years. I have always been used to seeing the regular targa. So it was a surprise to me.
@Rarsenault Not strange at all quite cool open air and coupe like should be reliable not or of moving parts like new targa
@FinnytheJRT9 I did check it out. Strange that they considered it a Targa.
@FinnytheJRT9 I don't mind at all. This is a VERY rare car. 2012 is the last year of the Glass top. Porsche then went back to original targa look. The glass top is an entirely different feel when driving. So much nicer than a typical targa. JMO
@Rarsenault Go to U-tube and watch a video on this model year Porsche Targa I hope the seller does not mind me making this comment but I viewed some U-Tube videos and they show how the top retracts
This doesn’t look like a targa?
@ScottTarga4S Thanks
@FinnytheJRT9 I don't have the ability to get under the car. The car has a porsche warranty til end of the year. The car is pristine. Always garaged by me and original owner. I will try to make a video tomorrow and see if it can be uploaded the the site.
Is there any chance you could post a short video of the car running and possibly some under carriage photos?

@raloise residential climate controlled garage in Miami, fl.
Where is the car located?
@Hotrod356 The car is kept in an airconditioned garage as well
Hotrod356, I've put nearly 400 miles on the car in about 18 months. I drove it a few miles a month. The car is pristine in everyway. Car has always been garaged. Tires are new, put on at Porsche Fairfield CT when I purchased.
It looks as though the current owner only put 5 miles on car sunset purchase a year and half ago. My question is was the fuel drained during this time or additives added?
Thanks
