@evergreenc Additionally, I am pretty sure I have the bill of sale from when I purchased so there will be an exact date and milage.
Thanks
@evergreenc There has not been any other owner since I took ownership, I can't remember if I took ownership in 2014 or early 2015 but I think 2015 is correct, this will clear up as soon as I can run the new Carfax. I will try within then next 2 hours. I am onboard a plane at the moment.
Thanks
@broski Thank you for your response. Regarding ownership, my earlier question is did you buy the car in January of 2014? Have you had it 5 plus years? Or was there another owner since Jan of 2014 other than you?
@evergreenc Good morning.
Thank you for the comment.
I own a fair number of cars and I can't remember the exact details so please allow me to arrive to my destination and I will look at the records in my computer as well as run a fresh Carfax and will reply in great detail.
I cannot remember if I purchased the with in the 45000 or 55000 but this is easy to clear up as soon as I have access to my laptop.
Thank you very much.
@evergreenc Good morning:
I am traveling and will not be able to take photos of tire dated codes until Sunday evening, I am sorry.
As far as the Carfax report, I am happy to run a current one this evening and will submit for upload.
IMS upgrades has not been done by my consious choice, the car is services by a top level shop in San Diego and the mechanic is a 30 year veteran working at a Porsche dealership, he has told me that the % ratio of cars that have IMS failure is next to zero and I am confident in him, he has also said that as long as we do oil changes every 3000 miles and look at the actual paper filter and see no metal debris, the car will be fine and so this is why it has not been done.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you
A fine looking car but a question about ownership:
Carfax says Owner 3 bought car in January 2014 with 44,265 miles on it. Now car has 65,77 miles on it. That is 21,500 miles added. You say you have put “about 10,000 miles on it.” Has there been another owner between Jan 2014 other than you? If not, then have you put 21,500 miles on it, rather than “about 10,000 miles”? Clarification appreciated.
Carfax provided is dated February 2016......3 1/2 years ago. Please provide a current report.
Tires appear to have good life remaining. Please show pics of the four Date Codes.
No mention is made of any IMB service/upgrade. Has this been addressed?
Bid in the amount of $6,800
Nice car good luck with the sale
Hello Everyone and thank you for looking at my auction.
Often times when I have purchased a car, I have asked the seller to tell me why is he / she selling and so I'll open the conversation to share that the only reason I an letting go of this awesome car is because I will be upgrading to a 2002 /2003 Turbo, other ways I would not be selling.
I have owned the car for a few years and have put about 10,000 miles on it and it has always been a complete joy to drive, overtime I have sorted out some small things like installing new catalytic converters, charge synthetic oil every 3000 miles and I even had the front seats reupholstered with genuine Porsche leather at $1,600 cost, by the way, the complete seats are full leather.
As you will notice in the photo gallery, there are some what appear to be cigarette burns on the drivers side carpet below the seat, (you cannot see them unless you pick in there). When I purchased, I asked about these burns and the former owner who had received the car as a gift from an uncle did not know how they got there, I thought the car had belonged to a smoker but the car did not smell like cigarettes and I did not find any other indicator that would tell me the car had been smoked in so I went ahead and bought it.
The car is a delight to drive, it is trouble free and NEEDS NOTHING
I am always available and will answer any question almost immediately.
Thank you!
