Customer Request

A Nigeria-based buyer was considering a 2015 Porsche 911 Carrera (991.1) with a 3.4L engine, located in Chengdu. The car showed approximately 63,000 km. The seller stated that the metal panels were original except for one repainted panel and that the vehicle had factory options originally valued at more than RMB 100,000. The buyer needed an independent inspection and transaction review before completing the remote purchase.

What We Checked

SauriVehicle coordinated an independent inspection lasting approximately five hours. The inspection scope covered mileage consistency, engine operating information, signs of odometer alteration, overall wear and available service records. Diagnostic data and fault information were reviewed for the engine and PDK transmission.

Wiring, carpets and seats for signs of water exposure
Vehicle documents, seller identity and transaction records

Critical Finding

The diagnostic records displayed 63,731 km across multiple vehicle systems, supporting the mileage-consistency review. The inspection also found water beneath the left-side carpet and inside an adjacent cavity. The evidence did not establish the cause or duration of the water exposure and, on its own, did not prove full-vehicle flood damage.

Risk Assessment

Because the Porsche 911 has wiring and electronic components beneath the floor area, the water finding required review before the buyer proceeded. The source described the issue as not major, but its cause and any required remediation still needed to be considered. The inspection and transaction review gave the buyer a documented basis for evaluating the purchase instead of relying only on the seller's statements.

Buyer Outcome

With the inspection and transaction review completed, the buyer proceeded with the deal based on clearer condition and risk information. The vehicle was collected and professional vehicle transport was arranged for the next logistics stage.
