Talking Rennfax Request

Can anyone in the Marina Del Rey area check this car out?

Anyone have any experience with these folks?

Thanks,

If I may suggest putting Marina Del Ray in the title? Might catch the eye of someone in the area.

Just a suggestion.

I have been to this place when looking for my car. Mostly consignment cars as I recall. Cram 35-50 of them into the store you see on their site. Usually 2-3 993's at any given time mixed in with lots of other vintages, Owner said they ship a lot back to Germany but I have seen their cars sit for a long while as they try to get max $$. Happy to take a look if you'd like. Its Marina del REy BTW....don't want to insult the spanish speakers amongst us.

I had a C2 at Callas Rennsport from them on PPI last fall. "Great car" I was told, that costed me $500 on PPI and thumbs down.(but I saved the plane ticket, though) Surprised by result and milage...not quite right...so to say. End of story.

That MdRey dealer is one of the "cheesy" import/sports car dealers in the LA area, IMO. I'd be wary.

Several years ago I did a PPI on a 911 that was in Oregon, I passed on the car because it had several problems (today I would have bought it but then I was too conservative) anyway, I passed on it because it needed 2-3k of work according to shop. Two weeks later it was in Marina Del Rey, I called back because I was having second thoughts. I asked specifically what had been done to the car since they had it and they said nothing. They had just detailed it and put it up for sale. Said it was ready to go. Was evasive when I asked where the car was acquired.

It was quite a while ago but I once bought a car from these guys and it wasn't an especially happy experience - I'll leave it at that.
