seller is working hard to not disclose the car's mileage - which should be the most basic thing to say
Work and receipts from Turn3 helps the sale IMO. Well respected local shop.
I'd certainly go look at it if i was in the market.

The gauges look like canadian cayman S but current odometer and when the engine was rebuilt is probably the key point.

Depends how it was done, and then also depends on how you drive it. Like the IMS shit cars that do short jaunts are far more susceptible to it. Lots of starts and oil not flowing enough.

This may not be the same car and I'd hate to taint any prospective buyers, but there was a very similar sounding/looking Cayman listed last year for $35-40k IIRC. It mentioned the Turn3 rebuild, but after a week or two of being listed it changed to OBO because bore scoring was found during PPI.
Good deal though if everything checks out.

Thoughts on this 2011 LS? Came across this one... https://www.vib-motors.com/cars/used...s-ls460-257212
It looks clean and fairly priced, but haven’t owned an LS before (coming from F10 535i) and wanted to ask if anyone here has experience with this generation. Anything in particular I should look out for?
Appreciate any feedback.

Valley coolant leak is a possibility on any Toyota v8. Impacts a small number of engines so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
Other stuff is all easy peasy and easy to replace with none oem parts. Get it! You’ll love it.

Re: Cayman - Any Porsche of that era will suffer from a level of bore scoring and it truly depends on how bad it is. westopher mentioned that if the car is being taken for short trips and the oil isn't even warmed up, that will just kill it. There are some cars that exist out there with bore scoring with 150,000KM+ but the scoring is minimal, so you have to juggle out your risk tolerance.
If anyone is truly interested in that Cayman, get the VIN and ask Turn3 directly what's up with it. I did that once and they saved me from a $40K paper weight. They were able to tell me what they did to the car and what condition it was in and when they last saw the car. Beyond that, it's up to you to do your own diligence and make your own decision.
If the words bore scoring scare you, look at an econobox Japanese car. Badhobz is your best friend, I mean, encyclopedia.

Turn3 reviews online (incl on here) skew heavily positive but in semi-closed circles they don't seem as universally loved. Seems like the CG of the Porsche world, lol.

The Porsche circle is generally small and with that come with all kinds of people from all walks of life especially when it comes to older cars. Turn 3 has their target audience, similar to Weissach and Scan Automotive in North Van.
I've never personally done business with Turn 3, but they did provide me product support, and pre-PPI inquiries. Lots of people like Scan Automotive and Weissach, but I would never do business with them for my own reasons. Like any shop or business, you can't please everyone, and that's just the nature of business.

i think its time to bring in some professional help.
after seeing 2 RS members (matsuda and loong) recently picked up 2 quality rides from Dealershift, maybe they can help find me a mini.
Is Roach the owner? where do they get their cars from other than trade-ins? do they search for cars for customers?
alot of fake ads on FBM and no replies... and sketchy dealers

My experience with scan was quite bad from a work done perspective, but the way they handled it was quite good. Someone fucked up somewhere and they owned it and fixed it. The mistakes were pretty egregious though. Maybe someone didn't care to work on the 15k BMW instead of the 250k 911, but at least I didn't get that from the customer interaction part.

Just asked for Turn 3 paperwork and explanation of work that was done + the current mileage...
