New Buyer Help - Carson City Nevada
Hi, I am looking to purchase my first Porsche in the near future. I am looking at a 2006 Cayman S in Carson City Nevada. If any forum members are nearby who could look the car over, it would be greatly appreciated and I will reimburse you for your time. Please let me know!
Also any suggestions for a solid PPI in Carson City are welcome. I see some good shops in Reno, but want to find something in Carson City if possible as the sellers time is limited.
Thanks! Hope to join the Porsche family soon.

Hi there. If buying a car from afar, make sure you do all the due diligence. I am in South Florida, and my car is from Arizona. Pay for the carfax, inpections (like you just did), ask for photos of the undercarriage. Specifically the bottoms of the bumper covers and rockers. Get maintenance records. You want to cover all the bases. Especially if you are having it shipped. Wow did I learn about that! It's the worst but I got a great company that helped me get it here and it was a smooth process. Let me know if you want the link (have it booked-marked somewhere) . Good luck!

RadRacer, appreciate the offer but we plan to make a road trip out of it! Agreed on all of your points, we are doing all the required due diligence. I'm actually helping my girl with the search as it will be her car, much easier to not get emotionally attached when I'll mostly be relegated to the passenger seat! This is actually the second car we have been quite serious about, the first had too many stories.
If the car works out we plan to take 4 days or so and visit some sights on the way back to Dallas from Nevada. Yosemite, Death Valley, Grand Canyon etc. I will make another post to get some suggestions for must see spots and driving roads if the car works out.
I'm a corvette guy myself (C6 Z06) but have been loving this forum so far. Might have to look into a P-car for the next toy...
Cheers
