Default 993 Turbo in Scottsdale AZ

Im negotiating this Turbo http://www.motorsportsofscottsdale.c....asp?carId=791

Next step is a PPI. I have done a search on PPI's in Scottsdale and it sounds like Don Jackson, Ent. is highly recommended.

Does anyone know this car? Also, I am in CA and am unfamiliar with the emissions laws in AZ. Are they different?

Thanks.

I lived in Scottsdale until recently. I don't know the car. Don Jackson is excellent. And AZ and CA have similar emissions testing. At least Maricopa county does - the county that Phx/Scottsdale reside in.

I just met DJ and John at Don Jackson Enterprises last week when they did the PPI on my 993. I was very happy with their service and knowledge level. All they work on is Porsche. My car is currently being stored their.

This wasn't the one Chris Walrod considered and rejected? Or was that one black?

Different car. OT: we have come to an agreement and the black car will be delivered to my house tomorrow. Fingers still crossed.

Hey Chris, that's great. Looking forward to some pics of course.

By the way, got the bushing last night, thanks!

This car seems sweet. Turbo S front lip, RS tuning engine. What're they asking?

If I'm not mistaken, that car has been around for a while. First it was for sale in Vegas. It was discussed on the 993 Turbo board in Nov. of 2006 (do a search of RS Tuning in Las Vegas). The only reason I remember is it is pretty rare to find an RS tuning car in the states.

+1 on DJ for the PPI-they are without a doubt the best in the Valley of the Sun.

Chris-Congrats and best of luck!

This board never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for all of the responses.

Bradford you are correct. I just found the old thread no the Turbo board. I have sent PM's to "lthatch" and "Temple", as it looks like they both took a good amount of time looking at the car. I will be curious as to why they passed.

samsnead, thank you for your generous offer to look at the car. I might take you up on it if I move fwd.

mpgandco, just saw the pics of your new turbo. Its beautiful. You will have to let me know if you have any sellers remorse, as I will need to sell my c4s if I purchase a Turbo.
