Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify coolant pump and control unit recall completion by VIN.
3. Confirm brake line corrosion and all brake wear warning recall remedies.
4. Check steering assist recall completion and review engine, powertrain, and electrical repair history.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Porsche dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
