Allow me to chime in..
The owner of Premiere cars is an ANTI SEMITE.. He basically called me a cheap Jew when I told him his prices were too high.
I believe his words were:
Chris: Seth is that a Jewish name?
Seth: Yes it is.
Chris: That explains it.
There is more to the story and you can look it up on Rennlist. Just type Premiere under search and B-Line under author and you will find the now buried thread..
He has also had thread after thread of buyers who have been mislead about the car they were buying, including accident damage, etc..
I would look else where if I were you.

the search for that right car is part of the fun. you guys are right, there are too many good RL guys selling a car. hopefully, i can find the right one and keep it in our RL family.

I bought my 951 from Michael Wilhoit and it was a great transaction, and a great car. The p/s hose had been replaced by Michael and it started leaking when I got home (Kansas City) - he had me take the car to a local shop for repairs and took care of everything. I would recommend him.

During my recent 2 year search for the perfect 993 I spent time at different reputable dealers that did not use any sales pressure on me to buy their car. I will tell you that the most honest and strightforward dealer I spoke with told me to go and compare other 993s at Marhall Goldman, RPM, Midwestern, ect... BUT whatever I do,,,NEVER purchase a car from either Victory or Premiere. Most of the cars are prettied up on the outside which hopefully will cover up internal issues with these cars. They are Auction Sales specialists. Not all, but many auction wholesale cars are there for a reason. The 993 specialty sales dealers have their eyes and ears open 24/7 in case a good 993 is available. they ususally don't let cars slip thru thier fingers and make it to auctions unless they have issues. This is my biggest issue with Premier, Victory and Daniel Schmidt. I would feel a little more secure knowing that the specailty dealer got the car on the trade or bought the car from a private seller.

Kind of OT, but I agree with the statement of never going without a PPI and in my case never let the dealer stonewall you out of PPI at your chosen location.
I am in the process of back and forth with a dealer that insists on $5000 deposit before the car leaves the lot, even if driven by their people, for a PPI at my chosen mechanic as rec'd by Rennlisters. Their excuse is that they want to weed out not-so-serious buyers, or joyriders.
The implied message is "Why don't you skip the PPI, or have one of OUR shop mechanics do the PPI for you?" Yeah. Right.
This is even after I tell them that I am not even on the same side of the continent, so I am asking their driver to deliver the car to PPI, no need to worry about my using this as a way to joyride their 993TT. I am not flying out there for a car that has not been PPI'd.
I can see how my scenario would play out: I cave in and give them $5000, I find something bad on the PPI, they say it's fixable, I say it's a deal killer and give me back my $5000, they say: "what $5000...."
