Yes, I am strongly inclined to get this car.
Will call the salesmen now to see if he can clarify the carfax. The car was not titled until it had 8k miles, and this was in Atlanta where PCNA has an office. Is either a corporate car....or one of those that they use on Porsche Experiences in Atlanta (if is this case might be an abused car)
If any RL is in near Porsche of West Broward and could look the car for me it would be great.
Regarding open delivery for the car....Is that bad? Isn't just having the car cleaned/detailed after shipping enough?

Just be careful of cars they have received from ATL... More than likely they were used at the PEC and have a high potential of having been flogged hard. I looked into the Lava Orange GTS they have had available forever, and the SA confirmed to me that it was a car from the PEC.

I think 'PCNA executive' is the standard response for all of the PCNA cars, regardless of actual usage.

^^^ I think HK can answer that better since he had his 991 transported cross country. I relied on the dealer, who used an internet-based dispatch system. If you look at the vendors announcements in the classifieds section, there is a Sacramento-based company that is giving a discount.

There, fixed it for you. I think "potentially" flogged and PEC are mutually exclusive, based upon my experience!

She helped handing me all the tools needed and managed to only misplace - in her coat pocket - only two bumper screws. I think she was going to put them in her piggy bank or purse. The box holds the GT spoiler, but that will wait until the summer. If we get one here!
Priceless
You're building some great new memories there
Your daughter will have good taste in cars.

There are many brokers that pass themselves as actual transport companies. You need to ask if they are brokers. Avoid them! Also, you need to ask whether your car will be unloaded along the way for any reason. Not all trucks will haul pass a certain mileage point. Ask if your car will sit at a hub. You need to find out about their insurance coverage. Ask the seller to take tons of pictures from all angles and from the undercarriage. Check out the ratings online! I also had my m5 transported over 1000 miles. My rear bumper was scratched. I noticed it based on pictures from the seller. I filed a claim. They paid without question because of before and after haul photos.

These two are the best in the business. Sometimes you might have to find alternates if your route isn't in their schedule in a reasonable timeframe.

One can search for other Rennlist board sponsors too. Don't want this turning into a 20 response subject.
Where are the cars??? Slim pickings. I've tracked a few new listings and wait for pics, but many sell within days.

Thanks for the carrier responses. Intercity doesn't run the necessary route, and I am awaiting response from Reliable. As usual, the HFS community provides a wealth of information.

First world problems...Smart man!! First thing I do when time allows is run the build. Once in a while you see one that is a winner!! I've had some great moments when those high MSRP ones or Powerkit X51's pop up!!
I've found and listed some nice ones. Many which smart HFS followers have bought and become HFS Alumni.
