I currently live in Taipei and fly to the U.S. quite often these days for business. Starting in 2008, I will be visiting the Philadelphia area more frequently than ever before and have decided to consider buying a used Porsche for my transportation needs instead of spending thousands of dollars a year on rental cars. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Are autotraders.com any good? How about pre-certified used Porsches from a Porsche dealer? TIA for any help.

Autotrader is a good source as is cars.com. Use a Philadelphia zip code like 19115 as a starting point and choose a radius like 50 or 100 miles to do a search. There are a number of Porsche dealers in the area, however they usually will have only later model (996, 997, Boxster) pre owned cars for sale.
Use http://www.porsche.com/usa/ to do a search of local dealers and their inventory. Independent dealers like Holt Motorsports, High Marques, AIC Auto are also places to check.

When you find a Porsche or not in Phili... try this while you are there...

John,
Craigslist.com is a good site to look for cars from private owners. It's a free posting site, so you'll usually find a wide variety. It is more popular at different cities, and if you click one, it brings up posts related only to that city.

I live about an hour from philly.. and I am selling a 100% stock 88 951 turbo "s" that is in prestine condition.. Always garaged, immaculate inside and out.. and never abused. Let me know if you are interested in this series of porsches to use as your daily driver when you are in philly.. or If you are only interested in the 911 type stuff.

Thanks,
Keith

I use this site: http://www.rallystuff.com/pcar_sources.html

As far as I can tell, it lists the most sources of used Porsches within the US & Canada.

Good luck!
