After months of skulking in the shadows finally took the plunge and bought a 2008 997.1 Targa 4 Tiptronic with 70k on the clock.
Realise that a tip and also the targa are not every ones cup of tea but as a family cruiser it ticks the boxes.
Had full inspection, bore scope and just after buying it had full service, aux belt, all coil packs, breaks, gearbox oils / seals at my local Indy.
Being enjoying it last few days but needs some cosmetic cleaning up.
In another post I was looking advise as the right hand tip button came off.
Today I was doing some cleansing and stupidly drained the battery as had the key in.
Have it on charge and hope all is ok as it drives great and haveongbtetms plans for it. Hoping don't get any further issues and despite having it scoped have bore score on the mind so try to have it warmed up before giving it any beans.
Noted today in a post that Tip is more susceptible to Borescore as pulling off in 2nd so might try to change to 1st when stationary.
May be a Gen 2 pdk or a gen 1 turbo wouldn't been a safer bet but I've made a bed of risky engine and questionable roof mechanism. :-/
Looks like this is a great forum though with lots of experience and knowledge.
Thanks in advance for future help and apologies for any Uneducated questions
