Default Looking for advice in OH

Hi all,

I've been looking for my first Porsche for the last several months and have passed or missed a number of possible cars. I'm now closing in on a 04 Tip with x50 and under 50k miles. Spoke to the seller today and it seems like the "right one". Clean carfax, seemingly well maintained. Now I'm to the PPI stage

Read here about Auto Assets, MAG Porsche(where most of the last two PO's had it serviced) and Toy Barn. AutoAssets seems like the way to go but wanted to know if there is another independent out there or any opinions on having the servicing dealer do the ppi.

Thanks

Thanks

You can't go wrong with any of those three choices. I think Toy Barn sells more Porsche than any dealer in Ohio so they may be a little more specialize.

take the car ( or have an inspection performed where it is ) by as knowledgeable ( absent fiduciary proximity/involvement ) a shop or person as can be. it's a fancy karmahn ghia lol.

Default another one to look at

I have an 04 cab for sale near Phila. in the classifieds. It is a tip with 43k in perfect condition. It is not an x50 but a UMW tune can equalize that. email me if you would like to discuss, wex1021@gmail.com

OP, I had my '04 911 Turbo Cab PPI'd at MAG. I flew from NY to see it done in person. They did a thorough job, and the dealership is insanely gorgeous and easy to kill the wait time in. Price was surprisingly reasonable too.

My car had some "Toy Barn" in its past, so I researched the place and found a mix of opinions about the place. Aside from the coolant leak issue, my car has had zero issues.

Sorry - Columbus is 2.5hrs away. Happy to check something out in the Cleveland area for you. Maybe retitle the thread "Columbus, Ohio".
