Input needed on an '03 Turbo
I have a 2003 911 Turbo Coupe w/Tiptronic on hold until I can drive down and check it out this weekend. Carfax shows 1 owner and a couple of repairs (two suspension, one electrical) courtesy of an aftermarket warranty, with 40K miles and price just under $40K.
I checked out an '02 Turbo (similar miles and history) at a local dealer a few months ago that was $7K less, but it was painfully obvious it had suspension issues (at a minimum). That reinforced the point that the "110 point inspection" doesn't mean squat.
Anything I should look for in particular? Pricing seems in line? Is Autocheck worth it? Any suggested Indy in Houston who could do a PPI this coming Saturday? The dealer offers EasyCare as well. Since this will be my DD, is it worth the extra cost? If so, any ideas on a reasonable cost for a couple of years of coverage? Anything else I need to consider?
Thanks!

Yeah, I've been looking around to find a good (and reasonably priced) shop in Houston that could do a PPI for me.

Just my thoughts as I have an 03 manual. Did they come with turbo script on center caps. Most everyone I've seen that are OE have porsche crest . Makes me want to make sure that you have the turbo hollow cast twist wheels and not the heavier solid or even after market replicas. Head lights seem pretty beat up and I've always associated that with heavily weathered cars or sometimes cars that have gone through many automated car washes. Thats all I can tell from photos. I think that this is a 35K car personally

those headlights do look really rough, perhaps it's the photography, but 40K mile headlights on a car that should be living indoors ought to look more like this:
Something to think about as it's not necessarily a cheap fix.
