Default anybody dealt with LAP LUX Auto

they are located at 14173 Boul.Curé Labelle (suite 101), Mirabel.
they have a 996 turbo I might be interested in.
Any feedback would be appreciated to see if I should go check the car out. Also any local indys you would recommend to do a ppi if it gets that far.

Danny,

I've never heard of them,they're probably just another random used car dealer who happen to have a used Porsche on their lot ...
Mirabel is 30-40 minutes away from me,if you really want i could go check it out for you and as far as a PPI,i would recommend Andrew at WeTune Autosport (514)633-1497 , he's one of the best if not the best indy in town !

Let me know if you need help !

Cheers
Phil

This company was incorporated in 2012 under Lux Automotive and then again in june 2014, each time with a different shareholder. There is also a 3rd entity "Gestion Lux" which has a 3rd shareholder. Not an established dealer and i would handle with caution...starting by making sure this is not a wrecked car (given the nose and light changes)

Default EK PERFORMANCE

I have had an excellent relationship with EK Performance on Jean Talon Ouest.
In fact, they 'saved' me from purchasing a dud, before I bought my current C4S.
Ben is an absolute wizard with Turbos, owning a 600 HP 996 TT himself.
Very honest people, well equipped shop.

I know these guys, i sold them a boxster 2 years ago. They rent exotic cars too. Great guys to deal with.

Both owners are doing a little bit of track at lcmt.

As for the 996 turbo, back in the days they had 2.
One with a 997 front end and one stock.

thank you guys for the comments and assistance. As it turns out both cars have been involved in major accidents so they have been eliminated from my search. Let me know if you know of any 996 turbos 6 speed...unfortunately Dwaynes friend's is a tip.

DISCLOSURE: I have no material interest in this recommendation.

I do know that Ben Knafo is getting married soon, and wants to sell his 996 TT.

I think it is a 2003, and has benefitted from his expertise and shop facilities. It is very fast, very well equipped, and in superb condition.

You would do very well with this car, as I know he would certainly stand by it.

I was going to say that they both looked like they had some body work done but didn't want to nag on anyone.
