Short story: drove the car 2.5 days and it was mind blowing fast and fun to drive. I took it in for a full inspection and leak down check and the car had major oil leaks, a cracked waste gate pipe (dangling)…had it tack welded for safety (free), and basically extremely low maintenance for quite some time. The leak check was within spec though so that was good. I thought about offering a price that made sense due to all the required work to be done but decided against that……too much stuff! The owner is a nice guy but seemed a bit defensive when he said all older Porsches leak oil…………(buddy not that much!)

Interesting experience, a bunch learned and fun too…..
