Default RennSport Motors in OH?

I was searching around the internet and a very low mileage 951 poped up at an Ohio shop named Renn Sport Motors, and I wanted to see if

1) Anyone here has had experience with these guys

2) If anyone has seen the 951 they have in stock

Hey ian, I know them and would recommend them. I've looked at their cars and they are very well represented. Tom is the contact I've dealt with in the past, they mostly do Porsche's, and he is very easy to deal with and honest in my opinion. If I can help, let me know! Oh, and Medina is just south of Cleveland.

I can't help you out at all, so I'm sorry for that. But I'll tell you, that is one "mint" condition 1986 model, wow! If I was in the market for another car, I would seriously look at that one. Good luck if you look into it too. That's a fabulous example, even more so for an 1986!

I have heard of them, but that's about it. I live about 40 minutes from Medina and would be willing to stop buy to check it out for you if needed.

Did you ever hear from them? If so, did you look at the car and was it correctly represented and were they professional?

They sold my GF's dad a Turbo motor with like 18,000 miles on it... from a car that has been tracked all its life.

It didnt have an AFM, coolant lines, DME, KLR, airbox, and a bunch of other crap.

It would have been a great deal had he not paid 2700 for it.

Did Skip make it out to the look at the car? I live in Akron which is 30 mins east of there. I am off this week, so if you want me to go look at the car let me know and also what you are looking for exactly.

Heya Mike.. this thread is 2 months old, and the car is listed as "sold". I wonder who bought it? It would be cool if it stayed in the area.
