Default Any turbo owner's in Texas?

I have found a car that I would like a fellow Rennlister to view in person on my behalf.

Anyone in Plano, Texas?

Is it at Boardwalk Porsche? If so - I'd call & strike up a friendly conversation. I'm sure they can give you high quality photos and all the info you desire on the car. No worries mate! glad you found 1. Dallas has lots of great cars due to the high % of millionaires. Other pt a franchise dealer rarely holds onto a problem child.

I'll be up in Dallas perhaps the end of the month for the TCU VS LSU game.

The car in question is located at Porsche of Plano. I am working with them and have a deposit on the car.

Hoping someone can pop in to have a closer look and give me an idea as to whether or not the car is as clean as they are telling me.

Are you having a PPI done?

The dealer just "refreshed" the car and are selling it CPO Certified. They performed the 30K mile service and changed a few other items, basically like new condition at this point.

Fresh trade-in. I am waiting for them to send me hi-res quality photo's both inside and out. I still would like to get a Rennlister's opinion though.

Hoping someone can help me out!

They just provided me with both. PPI came back no issues. DME was very good too.

Just realized that Porsche Plano is AKA Boardwalk

So yes, that is who I am dealing with. So far, so good. Just need a set of eyeballs down there to view it live for me!

I see you of are a fellow Canadian. The TT is a perfect car for up here.

Have you searched the Canadian sites? Pfaff has some beautiful gen .1 08’s and and an 09. There is VERY low miliage silver over red w adaptive seats.

Check this out: http://ucl.porsche.de/ca/ucl/clients...pnr_=1&lnr_=10

You are gong to pay a bit more than a landed US car but I believe you will re-coupe it on the resale.

Happy hunting!

Joel
