Buy 968 in Omaha - PPI Help?
Help 968 ers,
I am a former 964/911/914 guy buying a '93 968 Cab - long distance (Seattle) -from a dealer in Omaha NE. No experience with the Front engine family of Porsches but the 968 is the Porsche choice now. If any of you live there I would appreciate suggestions on Inspection resources there. This is a low - 60k miles car at a Specialty dealer. Was on E-bay and I may try the E-bay inspection service? Or the Porsche Dealer there? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Check the 968 forum here and ask for someone who could do a PPI. Or if you can't find anyone here, i'm sure you can find someone on http://www.968.net/ (check the discussion section).
Though I'd rather refer you to rennlist, I think you'll find better 968 resources (generally) on 968.net

How soon do you need it done? I can see if my wife would be interested in a trip up to Omaha from KC. Its only a couple of hours away, altho I am not in a position to say exactly when we could do it at this point.

Thanks - I got it covered!
Thanks all,
As luck would have it - got a call this a.m. from a dear friend who is in Omaha dealing with family issues. She is going to take a "car guy" buddy over to see the 968 tomorrow. Based on their look see I will likely use the Porsche Dealer for a full PPI. Or - If the car is as shown on the Net I may just wait till I get it back to Seattle and pay my trusted Mechanic to give it the once over & change all the fluids. The Dealer faxed me good maint history showing full 60000 mile service tune-up including all belts just 3000 miles back so I think it is a good buy.
I have enjoyed the 964 board for years now and am looking forward to this new community. Thanks again.

I second Larry Anderson...if you can get him to talk, he is a rather quiet fellow
!
If not Larry look up Sandy Steckman on PCA site and email Sandy for some help.
