Is the warranty Porsche?
That's ideal, but not always possible if the seller can't raise those funds without selling the car.
In the past, I provided details of the finance company to the buyer, so that they could satisfy themselves of the legitimacy.

If there is outstanding finance on the car - walk away

If they will not allow inspection - walk away

I wouldn't touch that with yours!!!!!

Thanks folks! Seller has agreed to diagnostics, but previous discussion on this with him has left me nervous.
