Question Global Motorcars of Houston

Has anyone dealt with them? I came across a nice 928 I want to get a better description on:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT


but after I received a PM from someone stating that the car wasn't even listed on their website, I figured I would take a closer look.

Here is the link to their website:

http://www.globalmotorcars.com/main.html

I did some research on the place, and I have read good and bad reviews overall, but what caught my eye was this thread on a Ferrari Forum, specifically beginning on post #4.

They appear to sell their lot of cars on eBay as well, and have good feedback, and it appears they have been in business since or before 2006?

I will probably steer clear, but just wondered if you guys have heard anything on them, or have done any business with them.

I think this car (or one like it from these guys) had come up before and it was poorly represented and several folks had bad experiences with them just trying to get some straight answers about 928's... Car looks pretty good, but you can hide ANYTHING in an internet pic! The center caps for the wheels are missing...

I drove this car about 2 weeks ago. started right up and drove pretty well. didn't have enough real estate to wind it up. cracked windshield and rear bumper is concaved. normal pod/dash wear. they have this car listed all over the place at varying prices. in looking at the carfax, it was serviced at a shop in Los Altos, CA. I poked around and found a shop in Los Altos (Reimers Workstadt) that works on Porsche's, but they changed their computer system a couple of years back and got rid of their old records. Car was nice, but wasn't ready for all the risk myself.

Got hooked by via Billtool and should have a '88 parked in my garage in a few weeks. Thanks Bill, Brad and Sean!! Already bought the plates.....
