Guys,

Any inside or advice about a 2004 911 Turbo convertible?

Car has 36k mls and original paint and being sold by a Porsche dealer.

I'm looking for expirance about the awd and general maintenance.

What I understood is that the Turbo has a Metzler type engine, hence no
issues with the IMT. Yes, no?

Any other typical/known issue?

Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

has no IMS bearing problems.
The cooling system lines will need to be addressed because they can split and cause you problems.
Also scan it for over revs, category 1 is fine category 2 is not.
Generally the car is a very solidly built car, look at the tires, and see if it shows signs of misalignment or abuse, if the tires are more than 5 years old re place them.
