Never heard of 'em (am in Steelertown area).

Go to Porsche Club of America web site (www.pca.org), find region in area where Rayco located, ask one of the officers.

If its Rayco Euro I would defnitely see the car before doing anything. A friend of mine and I drove from Batimore to the shop (about 3 hours) to look at a '89 Turbo Cab and a 348. Both had been misrepresented. Good thing we saw them before entering into any sort of binding contract. I think he said the 911 was "museum quality." I doubt any car with rock chips throughtout the front end would qualify for a statement such as that. We would have accepted that as sales bs, however, the price was also high.
Don't want to discourage you, but if you're serious, take the time to inspect personally. If you're looking for a clean 993, in particular S coupes, try RPMotorsports. He advertises in Autoweek. My friend contacted him and ended up with a C2S. Exceptionally clean.

Thanks for the response! I've been to Ray's shop in Houston. Nice cars but overpriced.
To be fair to Rayco, the salesman i talked to was extremely candid about the vehicle. No sales bs, and i've heard most of the sales lines in my months of car viewing.
The search goes on...

Rayco Eurospec Motorcars in Kingston, Pennsylvania (Wilkes Barre - Scranton area) SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED. They had my car for over 2 1/2 months, despite promising that I'd have it in a week. They have no integrity whatsoever. I just searched for reviews and find a lot of other warnings. They misrepresent cars. They lie about service. They tell you what you want to hear. Expect to be overcharged and ripped off. $80 a hour for labor and in 2 1/2 months they couldn't complete basic servicing of my 928S4??? Incompetent fools...

Labor Rates are posted on the service desk. Dude... tell the truth about what happened with your car before you bad mouth a service department.

I'm glad we've resolved this 9 years later. I feel I can sleep at night now.

I bought a 996 C4 Cab from them about 9 years ago and it was as described on the phone. No issue but of course that was a long time ago.
