Title says it all.

Do "we" know a person or shop, in or near Springfield MO, with enough real 928-savvy to do a thorough PPI on a high-dollar (asking price) 928 and deterime if it's "worth" it?

TIA

 

If the high dollar car is at Wilhoits shop in Springfield I would expect him to give all the PPI information about the car. They do a pretty thorough inspection and definitely know the 928.

Mo Zahr in Wichita is probably the closest 928 expert that I'm aware of near Springfield and that's 4 hrs away. Hopefully there is someone in KC that can be recommended.

Whether it's "worth" it or not is a matter between buyer and seller but Wilhoit does have a pretty solid reputation that if car isn't as represented you can walk away.

Good luck!

Sounds like a Wilhoit car? Brian Thomas at Rennsport in Tulsa (918) 663-2906 has good attention to detail, Porsche owner (968), but he does not work on a lot of 928's. Depends what you are looking for out of the PPI. Might be worth calling him to talk about. Real 928-savvy people are probably half a dozen in the whole country?

 

It's not a Wilhoit car. And no, I do not agree that they do as-thorough a PPI as I do and as I would like done on behalf of my client. With all due respect to TurboBoost (Wilhoit) who excels at offering cosmetically-perfect or near-perfect 928s, his mechanical fitness tests are not to my standard. I have done post-purchase inspections of his cars and found many, many mechanical issues of the deferred maintenance variety.

Note, that this does not imply that his customers are not happy with their purchases.


I'm aware of Mo. Met him almost 20 years ago. I was under the impression that he'd moved/retired/closed-up. Not?

If you click on the link to my inspection guide in my signature, you'll get an idea of what I'm looking for.

No. Do tell?
