Porsche pre-purchase inspection in Norcross.

A Porsche pre-purchase inspection helps you understand a car before committing to it. A used Porsche can be one of the best cars you’ll ever own, or an expensive lesson. The difference usually comes down to what you didn’t know at the time of sale. Rust, past accident repair, a tired engine, mismatched parts or years of deferred maintenance can all hide behind fresh paint, a tidy interior and a confident listing.

RS Motorwerks provides pre-purchase and pre-sale inspections for all Porsche models from 1948 to present, with unique expertise in classic air-cooled models. We tailor the inspection to the vehicle’s generation, equipment and condition, from the mechanical and originality concerns of classics to the systems fitted to newer models.

We go through the car the way we’d want our own money protected, then hand you a clear, honest picture of its real condition. With that in hand you can negotiate from a position of knowledge, walk away without regret, or buy with genuine confidence.

What your Porsche pre-purchase inspection covers

A structured assessment tailored to your Porsche’s model and year, focusing on its condition, service history and potential repair needs.

Body, rust & accident history

Panels, seams and the known rust areas checked for corrosion, filler and signs of past accident repair, the issues that cost the most to put right.

Engine condition

Engine inspection and appropriate testing, with compression and leak-down testing discussed according to the model and agreed inspection scope.

Transmission & drivetrain

Clutch, shift quality and drivetrain condition assessed on the road and on the lift, where wear actually shows.

Brakes, suspension & steering

Wear, leaks and safety-critical components inspected throughout, so you know what it needs to be safe to drive.

Electrical & operation

Charging, lighting, gauges and model-specific electrical systems checked for correct operation.

Originality & documentation

A look at matching numbers, correct parts and service history [where available], which drives both value and confidence.

An independent opinion you can trust.

A pre-purchase inspection depends on knowing the vehicle. As independent Porsche specialists, we assess cars from 1948 to present and bring unique expertise to classic air-cooled models. Our inspection is tailored to the particular car, so you can understand its condition before deciding to buy.

Common Questions

Porsche Pre-Purchase Inspections FAQ

What does a pre-purchase inspection cost?

It depends on the model and how deep the inspection goes, since a driver-quality car and a numbers-matching collectible aren’t the same job. Contact us with the car’s details for a clear quote.

The car isn’t local. Can you still inspect it?

The car needs to come to our shop in Norcross, GA, for us to inspect it properly. If the seller or a transporter can arrange that, we can help. Contact us and we’ll work out the logistics.

How long does an inspection take, and do I need to be there?

A thorough inspection takes time; we’d rather do it right than rush it. You’re welcome to discuss the findings with us directly, but you don’t need to be present while we work.

Which models do you inspect?

We inspect all Porsche models from 1948 to present, with unique expertise in classic air-cooled models. Send us the details of the car you are buying or selling so we can discuss the inspection scope.

What do I get at the end?

A clear summary of the car’s condition and our honest recommendation, enough to make a confident decision, negotiate the price, or plan the work it needs.
