1Inspect before buying

Check these on the car or in the paperwork before you pay.

  • Confirm it is a 997.2, not an early 991.1The generations overlap around the 2012 model year. Never trust the year alone: check photos, the VIN decode and ask the seller. Prefer 2010-2011.
  • Confirm PDKListings sometimes label manual cars wrongly or omit the transmission.
  • PDK fluid and service historyAsk for the service interval. Porsche calls it lifetime, owners typically service it.
  • Suspension and PASM conditionCheck for noise, leaking dampers and warning lights.

2Prevent after buying

Do these in the first weeks to start from a known baseline.

  • PDK fluid and filter serviceReset the baseline. $600–$1,000
  • Spark plugs and coolantFresh baseline for a high-mileage car. $400–$800
  • Brake fluid and padsSafety baseline. $300–$900

3Prepare for

Long-term costs and the mileage where they tend to arrive.

  • Water pump and cooling hosesAge-related at high mileage. $900–$1,800~120,000 mi
  • Suspension and bushingsCompliance and alignment suffer with age. $1,500–$4,000~120,000 mi
  • Exhaust and sensorsCheck engine lights from aging sensors. $500–$2,000~120,000 mi
