Ask the owner what type of oil they've been using, how much it loses between services and how often they've been changing it and if they make sure to redline it every drive.

If they look confused or go 'full synthetic at 10,000 miles', call them an idiot and walk away.

Do not touch a renesis unless the original owner knew what they were doing.

Renesis a shit, get a 986 Boxster S instead

>implying an IMS bearing meme machine is any better

>falling for the IMS meme

Just don't buy a low mileage garage queen you nigger
>implying OP can afford a car in that condition anyways

>Instead of buying this unreliable shitbox, buy this OTHER unreliable shitbox
Fuck off

lel you guys have no idea, try owning cars instead of shitposting about them from the bus

>convertible
Post tits

Don't want to high jack the thread, but is there anyway to prep the car to sit for a long time? My buddy has one but he's being deployed by the army and doesn't trust anyone to take care of it

>investment
Keep in mind this is not the word you want to be using. Cars are not investments.

However, That sounds like a fantastic deal. As such, it might be a trap. It's not the 2004 version, which is amazing. It's manual, which is great. Its miles are phenomenal. It's too gooo to be true.
Basically, this post is what you need to go by. They HAVE to be treated right or they'll die. Only buy from a respectable owner.

After that, just use this video.

Don't forget to get it compression tested and test driven before any decisions are made.

...

That's a nice pair you got

We're not the retard advocating buying a car KNOWN for exploding and costing a good chunk of its purchase value to fix.

Even replacing the seals on the shit renesis isn't as expensive as replacing porsches pathetic, retardedly designed shitbearing.

bet it needs new seals

>Redpill me
When will this die? Is it the result of you autists getting /pol/ involved here?

>long time
If >6 months but 1yr, do the same as above, except drain the fuel tank and fill it fresh
If >2yr, enjoy replacing bearings and everything rubber

>Jack up the car and put on 4 jack stands
>put the wheels under the car if the stands fail
>brim the tank with premium and put fuel stabilizer in it, run for 10 minutes to get it in the system
>put it on a bettery maintainer
>optionally cover the car

Not gonna entertain you further

How much does it cost to replace the seals? New IMS is like $100

Let 'em be ignorant and keep prices low, more fun for us.

Good, fuck off with your dumbass lies. You're telling people to 'not worry' about something known for costing 10s of thousands of dollars in repairs, that is such a common occurrence porsche got class actioned over it.

You're a retarded shill.

Also change the oil and stuff, obviously. Forgot to mention that

Very true
>those retards that think the 996 Turbo has an IMS shaft
soon...

The parts aren't the big cost, the labour is
You have to remove the transmission to get to the IMS bearing, best to change it when you have to change the clutch
A rotary rebuild requires you to take out the engine and tear it apart. So a little more than $500 and an afternoon

give me a reak. /pol/ is hardly the boogieman it used to be on here and the rest of Veeky Forums and most of us more or less support their views . If you don't like it why not just go to one of the vehicle reddits

You're a dumb fucking idiot if you think most of Veeky Forums supports poltards views.
There is a reason why they rank second in lowest IQ out of all of the boards. /x/ being the dumbest, and that's fucking dad because most users on /x/ suffer from mental illness.
