Buying advice and inspection
Discussion
Hello to you all
Apologies, I'm a long time lurker, but first time poster.
I've owned a number of "old" watercooled front engined Porkas in my time (924, 944 & 928's) but never something more modern. With age marching on, and life in a position whereby I can finally realise an ambition, I've been snouting around the classifieds and found something I really like the look of.
Its a Gen 2 1.9 with PDK (which, although not to everyone's tastes, is something I really want) for what seems reasonable money. It's up for 17k. The car does have 81k miles, but all the photos (yes I know they always look glamorous!) show it looking very tidy. FSH, Last 3 at specialists (with the last being in Oct 19 @ 79k, all prior are OPC).
Is there anything glaringly obvious I should enquire about? Something I am aware of is the need for the PDK clutch oil to be changed at 60k 6 years, so will enquire about that.
The other thing is the car is located some 380 miles from me, so I would consider an independent inspection before travelling all that way. Does anyone know of someone suitable experienced / qualified to do this sort of thing in the Glasgow area?
Any advice and tips gratefully received
