What should I actually check on a used 911 before buying? Any inspection tips?
Quote from Guest on May 22, 2026, 3:58 amI'm going to look at a 2015 Porsche 911 Carrera this week, and I've done my homework on common issues like bore scoring and the water pump failing, but honestly I'm not confident I can spot them myself during a test drive. I know I should probably get a proper Porsche Car Inspection Dubai from someone who knows these flat-six engines inside out, but I also don't want to waste money if the car ends up being clean. For those who've bought a used 911 here, what specific things did you check or wish you had checked? Do inspectors usually do a borescope inspection for bore scoring, or is that an extra? Also, how do you tell if the PDK has been abused? Any advice would be really helpful before I make a huge commitment.
