Well i just got the results back on what I'm hoping is "the one", and am thinking about using sloan to broker the deal and ship since the owner's rennster and not really advertised....just think it may give me peace of mind for a few hundred bucks.Done a few searches but haven't really found much on him.Also curious as to any who know the car.Midnight blue and cashmere C4S.....Owned by Peter?

I'm not sure why Sloan would need to be involved. You can have a proper PPI done and then either drive the car home or arrange for your own shipping.

Either way, congrats on finding your 993.

A RennFax is usually done before a PPI. Unless you don't trust the PPI, a RennFax at this point seems almost redundant. Good luck with the purchase.

Work and kids.... No time to fly up and drive it back. Sloan seems to get a good deal on shipping and also maybe little peace of mind . Just curious if anyone knew or recognized the car, but having hard time trying to attach pic

Where's it located? I'll fly out and drive it to you.

One call to a shipper has got to be cheaper than paying him to do it.

sometimes middlemen can help get better prices and/or responses than individuals.
i've had many cars shipped and they have usually been TERRIBLE - both how long they take as well as where they are and when they will show up. the worst is just not knowing(or being lied to by dispatcher) about status. this, in addition, to the care being dirty and perhaps not as well cared for during transit.
bottom line, if you know a good guy you trust, it's probably worth paying up a little to avoid the hassle(s).

Why would you ever involve Richard? Is the car in CT? If you already had a ppi done and it comes back clean then call intercity and enjoy your new car.

Intercity has a great reputation...just ring them up yourself unless you have money to burn.

you're just lettin the fox into the henhouse .
if you got a good deal on the car, a high margin dealer
might talk the seller into a higher price, and you get skunked.
if ppi is good, take his drivers license via scan or fax prior to any payment.
and as noted above , good shippers available.
intercity , demoise, passport to name a few.

If Sloan gets a good deal on shipping, any savings goes into their pocket, not yours. There are plenty of excellent shippers who will do the job and do it well. Use a reputable source.
Sloan is RETAIL +++ for anything they touch or even glance at.
I have no idea as to where or how you developed your opinion of Sloan.

Intercity is great, they have shipped my 964 twice.

Yeah it's in ct, price is already agreed between me and the seller. He just knows Richard pretty well and gave me a good price on shipping quote, I'd gladly pay for fuel and meals though
