He's just told me that the front break disc's have cracks in them (didn't notice them) and will get them replaced by someone he knows but that will mean the price going up as well
Hi, just back from a long weekend away! The OEM Porsche brake discs are designed to crack, and they are serviceable until the cracks are longer than 5mm or they have reached the edge of the disc.
I would have expected the car to be serviced within the first 2k miles (an oil change), otherwise the car should be serviced regularly like any other 911.
I'd recommend having the car PPI'd by an expert who knows what to look for - it will take out a lot of the guesswork and give you a fair and objective assessment.

Just picking up on this thread late, hope my comments are still relevant.
Never just accept a clearance fax passed to you by the vendor in respect of outstanding finance. Always do your own HPI to get the up to date status, if it is still showing as on finance, try to speak with the finance company directly (the vendor will have to consent to this). Make sure that the agreement number on the clearance fax matches that of HPI etc.
In respect of the V5, I don't understand why he has kept in own name to keep down number of keepers as he has had to declare this on sale anyway. In any case, registered keeper aside it is legal title that you need to be concerned with. As he is not the registered keeper I would want to see the invoice from the previous vendor / dealer - if this is made out to a finance company there has been finance, I would want to see copy finance agreement and if it corresponds with HPI/clearance info then you know that the vendor has legal title to pass on to you.
All in my opinion of course..
