@ThxRick congrats on the new purchase! Love to hear your experience and anything you found during the ppi.
This is car is located in Texas, I am in SF. Waiting for some more info from the seller before I head down. Rac performance in Plano is 15 minutes from the seller and was recommended on the forum to do the ppi.

Thx @jl-c.
Do you know what would cause those burn marks on the oil pan? I have seen others looking like that.

Hi - I am a new member and looking for my first 997. I have found a 06 997 Carrera out of state with 40k miles. The dealer has sent a few photos of the engine before I fly out for a PPI. Having no expierence with 911's yet, I wanted some expert eyes to see if they saw anything that should concern me, particularly:
- the stains/burn marks on the oil pan
- stains around the oil filter (20170106_153108,20170106_153101)
- oil to the right of the filter, transmission? (20170106_153108)
- rusty muffle manifold
- rusty break rotors (i read that was normal after a wash)
Thanks for any advice you can provide!

in 997-1 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 2S, Carrera 4S)

The car was listed for $34k but seller will take ~$31 and <$1k to ship to SF. Is a stock '06 6sp with 40k miles and 19" "sport design" wheels. Clean CarFax and looks like 3 owners all in the south. I found another stock '06 with 33k miles from a SF dealer but it sold last week for $34k. Two others in the running are a '06 S (+PASM, sport chrono) with 32k miles for ~$40k and a '09 997.2 in SF with 56k miles for ~$40k (+PASM, sport chrono).
As this is my first Porsche I'm leaning towards the cheaper '06 to get my feat wet. Its less than a Honda...which is how I explained it to my wife ;-)
