Default SF Bay area help requested

I have found a nice potential car in the SF area. Still waiting on more info but if it looks reasonable, is there anyone in the area who could check it out for me? I don't expect a professional ppi but more of an overall experienced impression and drive. Thanks all, D

Daniel, you have the right man for the job. Bill Ball rocks. ( I keep hoping to win the Bill Ball bobblehead at Sharks in The Park raffle every year )

Chris Bauer in Oakland is a real straight shooter
Bauer Porsche on 23rd, downtown Oakland

He raced a 928 for years so he is not just a ****** trying to make a buck. Also he will give you advice on doing your own work

Yes, Bauer would be great for a professional PPI. However the car is 80 miles away south of Santa Cruz.

I might have to go to the Santa Cruz area some time next weekend, and could take a preliminary look. I could do a test drive as well, but I could not do a proper PPI.

What are you looking for in an OB 5-speed?

My preference would be either early or late - like the uncluttered look of the spoilerless models and the power of the laters. Must have working HVAC, and would prefer a better interior over better exterior as my ultimate goal would probably be a color change to Arrow Blue. Other than that, pretty much looking for the same thing as everyone else, as little upfront drama as possible...
