Post Comments on a Dealer in PA and PPI recommendations ?

If any one has bought cars from Porsche of the Main Line comments on your experience would be appreciated

Can anyone recommend a PPI inspector in PA

Thanks

They are OK. Do a search. They are mentioned a few times on this board. Can you perhaps provide more context?

PPI can be performed at POTML...

Just have them run it through their CPO process and also provide you with the DME readout. The CPO process is a PPI to the nth degree of detail.

Independent I used when I lived in area.

I have no affiliation. My personal experience with CPO has been such that were I to buy another pre-owned 911, I would do an independent PPI.

I agree - I'd have them provide CPO inspection with DME readout as a base minimum. If I was local and could inspect it myself, I'd be satisfied with that. If on the west coast and having the car shipped without seeing it myself, bring in an independent to confirm the CPO. Little things like stone chips would probably be under the CPO radar, but an independent should let you know if the car looks sand-blasted.

Me, I'd have the dealer CPO it to get the 2 extra years of warranty. $2k is cheap for 2 extra years.

I live 5 miles from there (Villanova) and had never heard of it. Thanks for the post. I will go check them out.

I purchases a non-CPO 911 from PoML back in Oct 2006 (car was 6 months old w/ 2.8k miles). The process was very painless. I gave them the net number I'd pay given the trade I had and left. I told them to call me if they could do it, no haggling just give me yes or no. 3 days latter I got a call saying we can do the deal. Picked the car up the next day. They didn't even try to sell me any of the extras. Only took about 20 minutes once I arrived at the dealer to the time I left. Although if you finance it will likely be longer. My experience w/ PoML for service has been neutral to favorable. Although, I only really go there for brake flush and annual inspection. I do my own oil.

Main Line has a very talented service tech. It was fun giving him a hell ride on the track lol!
