Skipped the inspection on my first Porsche and paid for it

Bought a 2014 Cayman a couple years ago without getting it checked because I figured I could spot problems myself after owning a few German cars. Huge mistake. Turned out it had been in an accident that never showed up on the history and the PDK started acting up about six months in. The repair bill was painful. When my brother was buying his 911 last month I made sure he didn't do the same thing, we booked an affordable used car inspection in Dubai before he handed over any money and it was a totally different experience. No surprises, no stress. Just thought I'd share in case someone else is about to make the same mistake I did.
