I searched for comments, found quite a few positive, a few negitive about PPI's for the water cooled cars-but that's no matter.

Anyone have opinions about buying used from them, as well as the quality of their service?

They have a 95 C4 with quite a bit of goodies on/in it, that I have contacted them about.

Thanks guys

They where located across the street from Porsche North Americas technical training center before PCNA moved everything to Georga.

I remember a few under the breath jokes about the place.

I called them on a 993 coupe, they never got back to me.

Was up there a couple of weeks ago for a part. Not sure if this helps or not but their cars looked very nice, quite a few nice looking high-end cars. However, took a close look at a couple of pcars and could see bodywork under the paint. The seller I just bought my 97 from didn't have the best of experiences with them. When he was looking for a 993 he went up there from LA and came away not buying the car due to it not being as nice as represented over the phone.

I've spoken with them a few times; they are simply car salesman not Porsche guys. Make sure spend the $100-$200 to do a PPI if you're going to buy a car from these guys. I guarantee you find something "wrong" with the car that they did not disclose, whether it be a $500 or $5,000 repair.

My friend bought a 993 cab black 4 wheel drive from them they said that it had a full check up on the car . the power steering had no fliud in the Reservoir he ran it for a few weeks an then he had to put in a new Power Steering Rack !. When the car was at his home their was no fliud on the floor so he felt the car was ok. So I would really check out the car before you buy it.

Check the carfax (there is a link on their website), the mileage history has a few discrepencies.
