Default PPI Recommendation in Evansville, IN

I am in the process of purchasing a 993tt from Buxton Motorsports and he would like to take it to an independent in Evansville, IN instead of the Porsche dealership. I have no problem with that but would like a recommendation of an independent other than his.
Anyone purchase a car from Buxton Motors? I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

Brian's one of the good guys ! Really...

Long time rennlist member - I would buy from him sight unseen ! He'd have too much to lose in terms of reputation doing bum deals.

I purchased a Ferrari from Buxton about three years ago and my experience was not a totally positive one. The car was NOT as described and there was a very critical issue not disclosed that could have easily been considered fraud. Send me an email and I'd be happy to discuss the specifics with you.

I did have the car inspected at a place a few hours away - can't remember the name of the shop but the owner's name is Brian Stewart. I'm sure Buxton will know who his is. Anyway, Brian Stewart did a great job on the PPI for me, was reasonable, and seems very experienced with most exotics.

Good luck!

Richard,

The shop is called Auto Car Sports Inc, - 2008 Cherry St., Noblesville. Again, Brian Stewart is the owner.

I live in Evansville, IN. The choices are limited for PPI's. The dealership is not the best choice. When I have work done that I don't do myself I take it to Foreign Performance. Danny (owner) is a former Porsche Tech at the delearship (many years ago) before going out on his own.

Noblesville is a good 3 1/2 hours away and is approximately 400 miles round trip from Evansville. Louisville, KY is closer.

Let me know if you would like anymore information or to look at the car. I have no experience with Turbo's but I can give you an impression on looks. Or I could test drive it
