I bought my 98 Cab from Ray in the summer of 2001. It had 5k miles on the ODO but I still had a PPI performed. After many discussions with Ray and the Porsche dealership that performed the PPI, I purchased the car and had it shipped to California. Ray was happy to send me digital photos of specific areas of the car. The first time I actually saw it in person was when I picked it up from the car carrier in CA. It was everything I'd expected.

Ray is a no nonsense guy. He knows what these cars are worth and usually has pristine examples in his collection. If he has a car on consignment, I'm not surprised but, I'd be much more likely to inspect it and drive it in person before so much as putting a down payment on it. Overall, I'd say he's one of the most knowledgeable and thorough 993 specialists around.

When I was in the market for a 993 I went to RPM and to Michael Willhoit. Willhoit had nicer examples at that time, and were represented much better over the phone as to what I found when viewing in person. Also I had a oil leak some time after purchasing from Michael and as per our agreement he stood good for the problem! Not to common this day and time.

You will not be disappointed with Ray or what he is selling. He has been in the business for decades and reputation is everything otherwise he wouldn't still be around. I have dealt with Ray numerous times over the last 5 years and never a problem.

We had a great weekend and got two new cars, one for each of us.

My husband got a 1997 Glacier white C2S coupe. Very low miles. Bea-U-ti-ful.

I got the 1995 Adventurine green cabriolet with tiptonic. I'm calling him Gordon Gekko. Fits me like a glove.

We've been saving for these for quite awhile and couldn't be happier with the purchases. Ray's a great guy. He was very accommodating and spent a lot of time with us. We were at his facility for several hours Saturday, Monday, and Tuesday. I was really impressed with his entire operation.

Thank you very much to everyone who replied to my post. The information y'all provided was invaluable.

I'll be posting pictures and becoming an official Rennlist member soon!
Congrats and Enjoy in good health.... looking forward to seeing some pics
