Porsche PPI in north Charlotte

Anyone know a good indie in north Charlotte for a PPI on a Cayman? I will be looking at this car this morning.

2006 Porsche Cayman For Sale in Spartanburg, SC - CarGurus

 

Thanks buddy. Any personal experience?

 

BTW, I didn't make the interview, office posted patients at 10 AM so I had to bail. ☹️

 

Thank you gentlemen.

 

I contacted them.

Talked to the receptionist.

They will be fetching the car for a PPI but probably not until next week.

 

Re: color combo.

I would really prefer this combo:

Porsche Cayman Base Hatchback 2 Door | eBay

But it is not an "s" and farther away.

Gray inside is acceptable.

 

It appears Mike has a Cayman for sale as well. Yellow, lowered, more HP.

Thanks.

 

Mr Xxxxxx,

I have attached several documents for you to review. I will explain these for you.

The one labeled "987PPI" is a check sheet. It is self explanatory. Most items check out "good", front tires and front brakes are likely the first items that need replaced, further down the road.

The one labeled "VAL" is the Vehicle Analysis Log. It is a "snapshot" of everything on the car at that given moment. I'll explain the highlights.
The right hand column on page 1 & 2 lists fault code numbers, they translate to low voltage. Very common to see, especially when there is now a new battery installed. You can disregard those fault codes.
Page 28 shows fuel adaptations (FRAU and FRAO). Ideal is 1.00 and with readings of 0.998 and 1.00, they are perfrect. This usually shows out of spec with vacuum leaks, MAF sensor issues, High/Low fuel pressure. When the number is ideal like that, it usually indicates things are running well.
Page 54 shows the camshaft deviations. Anything over +/- 4.0° is a red flag. Yours measured Bank 1: 0.7031° and Bank 2: 1.653°. Cam deviations show timing chain stretch and chain guide wear. Low numbers like yours are good.
Lastly, on page 56 are the infamous "ignition counters". You have no instances in ranges 3-6 and very low counts in 1 & 2, which is VERY GOOD. Range 1 is 7500 RPMs and Range 2 is 7700 RPMs.

Others things worth noting: Crank case pressure was 3.6"/H2O. Spec is under 6". This gives a general state of condition on the Air/Oil Seperator (AOS). You are in a good range.

Carpets are dry under the foam padding, no signs of water leakage.

Brake pad sensors are not installed into pads, instead, are zip tied to strut. This means you won't get an indication that the pads are worn. A reputable shop will install new sensors with pad service.

Tires are mismatched. Sumitomos up front are 50% tread and Continentals in the rear are new.

Lastly are two paint issues. Front bumper shows evidence of being painted on car. Attached picture shows left over masking tape and over spray on right side headlamp gasket. The other issue is the left rear quarter panel (see attached picture). It appears somebody tried to polish out a scratch and went past the clear coat.

Other pictures attached are the oil sump (spotless) and inside the oil filter (also spotless). The oil filter was new, so the fact that it was clean gives very little meaning, but the oil sump tells the rest of the story. As chains, bearings and guide rails start to fail, all the evidence goes into the sump. The sump doesn't appear to have been tampered with, so the picture you see is a good representation of the internals.

I hope this info finds you well and we appreciate your business.

Feel free to email me back if you have any other questions.

I called and offered $27,500, out the door. That does not include taxes because I'm in a different state. I will let them consider that.

I think that's more than fair. If they don't take it, they are out of luck. They will get only one bite at The Apple.

 

You get it next year for $30k.
