No personal experience, but have a friend who had a friend.... who had real trouble with them. Take it with a grain of salt. I don't know them. Maybe some of the Greensboro or 'charlotte contingent will chime in

I use the Greensboro location. I have never bought a car from them, but their 911 service tech (Henry) is very good. Overall I have been pleased with what they have done. Sorry, don't have any knowledge of the CLT location.

I have talked to them (Greensboro location), over the past several years, tried to deal with them but was never able to, ( I have purchased 7 P cars over the past 6 years for myself and family, from other Porsche dealers.) My name dissapeared ?? of their wait list once for a F360.
Was this car modified? Their(Foreign Cars) specs show the car as a 2 wheel drive. Check to see if someone pulled out the front " Diff " making it 2wheel drive.I understand that all US 993- 996/997 TT's were all wheel drive. Porsche did make a 2wd GT2,(Turbo), for Europe only. The other option is that the car was originaly a C2 and turbos were added.In other words it started life as a normaly aspirated C2.Good luck and be aware of what your buying.
