Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify control unit and front passenger seat sensor recall repairs.
- Request rear seat belt anchor and ski bag strap repair records.
- Confirm headlight adjustment screw caps and ask about engine problems.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Porsche dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
