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.
- Request coolant pump fire-risk recall completion records.
- Verify brake pad warning recall repair and inspect pad wear.
- Confirm control unit recall completion and ask about engine or power train faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Porsche dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
