I found a 951 that i plan to buy next week pending a PPI at a good shop. The car is in Lansdale, PA can anyone give me the name and number of a shop around that area so i can start making phone calls tomorrow?

Unfortunately i cant go look at the car in person before i buy it so i need a shop that can be trusted. The good thing is that the seller is from rennlist forums and the people on here tend to be very honest imho so there shouldnt be anything unexpected.

there are some numbers/links to shops in that area in this <a href="http://forums.rennlist.com/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=016155#000000" target="_blank">post</a> ..... the closest to lansdale would be dinardo's....about 15 miles. i had my car ppi'd there and have had good experiences w/ them (also great cause i work a block away). as for trusted i give them a thumbs up...right now they have (also sell cars) 2-924s, a 928s4, a 930 slant, a boxster, a 993 (can you tell where my attention is when driving by hehehe).

ps: if you end up stopping in thier shop check out the picture of the son on the wall in the office...where most people have pictures of thier family up at work he has a pic of him grinning ear to ear working on a v12 ferrari engine...now thats when you know the guys are sportscar nuts too.

best of luck

thats the shop it is going to, i sent a check for the PPI this morning, hopefully by the end of this week i will be sending out the rest of the money for the car and having it shipped to me!

Dan, why don't you tell us a little bit about your new 951! I know it's probably a beast...

Dan Gallagher

It belongs to a fellow rennlister, it isnt highly modified like the technodyne car i was going for but it looks great and has less miles on it. Ill upload photos and what not when i get it (next week hopefully?!)

Darren

When is it going there? I'll take a ride down and check it out.

Dan Gallagher

Not sure when it is going, it will be some time this week at the surrent owner's convenience.
