2007 Porsche 911 Targa 4 Manual (997)
Discussion
The ad doesn't mention that the 997 comes with original PCCM as the original Porsche Sound Plus audio equipment in the car, as seen in the photos. We did replace the Apple CarPlay that was in the car when we purchased it - and this will be included in the sale if you'd rather go 'new school'.

Hi Nigel
To my knowledge it has never had a bore scope. It has however had oil analysis at major service interval with no signs for concern (at least where we're concerned!). Usual give aways of excessive carbon on exhaust tips, smoking at turn over, ticking/knocking etc are non present at all here.
Lengthy research before we decided on this 997, revealed the 3.8 had thinner cylinder walls and longer stroke, making them more susceptible... but still pretty uncommon.
All said, I'm more than happy if you wanted to arrange a borescope yourself to put your own mind at ease.
I hope this helps and thanks for your interest.
