Default Anyone Deal with Champion Motorsports in NY?

Hello:

I am seriously thinking about buying a 996 from them. They seem to be a class act but as I am in Denver and they in New York it is hard to tell.

Anyone deal with them before?

Thanks in Advance

A friend has used them several times and seems happy. I know that they mark up cars a LOT based on what he got as a trade in. Consequently, I would just say that I don't think they are good value. Seem to have a rich buyer base.

The one that I am looking at seems to be well priced. But according to the Carfax, they have had it 4 to 5 months.

I wish it was closer so I could go by and see the car. I will have a PPI done but it is not a replacement for a set of eyes on it.

Anyone near there?????

I looked at a 993 there 4 years ago and found them to be a typical high-end used car dealer. Relatively honest, but not completely trustworthy.

IMHO, I would highly recommend spending the $400 for a plane ticket and rental car to ckeck it out personally before purchasing.

I looked at a car there a few years ago, after some shopping found them playing some shady finacing games, not all that rare in the high-end car market. Just make sure you know what you are getting and exactly what you are paying.

Tim, PM me and I'll see if I can take a look at the car for you. They are 5 min from my office.
