eBay.com (you should be able to get to the US site). Newspapers put classified ads on line. If you want to look around Atlanta, try AJC.com. Craigslist.org has a site in all the larger US cities. PCA.org has classified ads.

There is actually a pretty cool Rennlist links page at:
http://www.rallystuff.com/pcar_sources.html
The two biggies in US/Canada are autotrader.com and cars.com
The links above are GREAT for finding older models.

Finding "THE" 964 will be a piece of cake compared to trying to convince a US seller that you're a legitimate overseas buyer, and not a scammer

Try www.cars.com I found mine from a dealer on there. I would bet if you find something you could find a person on rennlist somewhere in the area to at least take a look at it. But I have to agree with Bearclaw if you go person to person it will be a hard sell. (or buy)

I was almost played by a scammer when selling a car on Autotrader years ago, before it became widespread and easily recognized. Didn't lose anything, but wasted a lot of my time. I bought mine long-distance (US) on Autotrader, so I'm not averse to the concept. But it would be a cold day in Hades before I deal with a non-US buyer.

Yes, the same boring story for all parties, scams..
See U:r point but on the other hand. It is the same way the other way as well. I really need to know it is an honest car (after searching rennlist I understand carfax takes care of this) and that it really exist!! If I handle things through a PCS or well known party in the US AND pay for a pre purchase PPI or what You call it. I hope even a fellow american could understand it is no scam. In the end I doubt I can keep myself from catching a flight and see it myself before I buy it.. fly 10-14 hours and hand over an Id probably solves it.
The hard thing to me is, how to pay?? Cash, bank transfer etc (I would like to do everything at once) and then get all the docs right, which docs I need besides the invoce for the costoms and reg paper that the car is mine... and finallygetting the car from the seller to a harbour warehouse, insured etc and be aware of all rules...
Then a few other questions appear.. is there a possibility to buy it taxfree from a dealer.
No easy thing for an overeas buyer either

I also joined the Porsche Club of America - www.PCA.org - you can get a temporary membership for 6 months without owning a car for something like $40.00 - this allows you to scan the classifieds (it's password protected), and is small potatoes in the scheme of a purchase of this size. You also get 6 months of Excellence magazine - worth the price alone. There are typically +-300-400 cars for sale at any time. I used to check it daily. Good luck with the search!
