If you're in the market for a used Porsche 997, then this entire video is pure gold for you. In it, one of the leading experts in Porsche buying - Nathan Merz - takes you through an exhaustive pre-purchase inspection process you can do on your own before deciding whether to invest money in having a shop go through it.

One of the best things about this video is that many - if not most - of the advice given by Nathan applies to many modern water cooled Porsche 911's.

This video gives anyone buying a used 997 deep insight and advice built on experience about how to be careful when buying a 997 911.

The best part? When you follow this pre-purchase process carefully, you'll be able to identify a 997 that you can enjoy for years and years.
