Almost did, but there is a difference between buying from someone you don't have any history on and someone with a good rep. We'd trust groovy because he has been around a long time and has shown himself to be a good guy.
As an aside, I thing groovy is starting to jones for a new Silver/Black 996 C4S. He's been a bit grumpy lately...

I bought my 996 sight unseen...we'll sort of. I had my bother who happens to live in the area I purchased from take a look at it, test drive it, then in for a PPI at a dealership he has workings with. In the end, I'm happy with the purchase, I never saw the car in person until about a month and half when it showed up at my doorstep

They are not 'negative replies to this thread' as you call them. Simply reactions from posters to this board. I mean, what kind of replies did you honestly expect???? You go on to say "And thanks to everyone who has PM'ed me". Why didn't you just say "and f u c k to all who have posted to my question". I wonder why the people who PMed you didn't respond to the board. They were afraid they too would be blasted down by other posters. CHICKENS...

Or Hurdi they could have PMed him because, you know, that's what he asked for
I don't think it's particularly a PM style conversation as all new buyers could benefit from the wisdom and experiences being expressed, but that is what he asked for.

Recognition and acceptance are the first steps towards healing
I would like to request, however, that rather than your standard fair, pick up a black/black aero MkI C4 with full leather and sunroof delete. Then when you sell it cheap 2 weeks later, give me a call

I never asked for any opinions on the matter and damn sure don't appreciate being asked if I'm f'ing stupid. Is this clear enough for you or do I need to PM you to explain it better?

Hollywood, you've been pretty reasonable and better than most new members (in using the IMSB sticky rather than starting your own thread), but you need a thicker skin around here. We are a helpful and welcoming bunch, but we can be a pack of wolves too.
I'm also not sure that Groovy's comments were directed specifically at you. I personally read them as directed at rbc (who you can spin up by suggesting you can get a good 996TT for less than $50k ).

We've driven 500 miles just to look at a car before the inteweb and if its crap leave or plop cash, sign a few things and get it home. Ive also bought 3 long distance cars ala pbay and driven them home... this one from Sea/Tac to STeX. Even after flights, lodging, a new wheel bearing, 1 tire, 1tow(AAA), gas...ya,it can be worth it. NEVER a p-car though lots of liars and lemons in that crop apparently. Another from CT to BigD in a Passat from a VW dealer(nearly screwed on that one)
Or are you talking about a pig in a poke situation?
Take the Texas forms to be signed and hope you get a friendly cnty tax agent when you get back. If you've got TX insurance you are mostly covered as soon as you *** hits the seat.
Now if your trying to broker a ppi, wire transfers, shipping, delivery and restitution then. Slow down and go to a dealer when you get a chance.
