Default $100 to visit Porsche West Houston??

Hi folks. Made an offer on a 2009 911 for sale at Porsche of West Houston but I'm 2000 miles away. Before I send them my hard earned $$$ - can someone who knows the difference between a nice car and not a nice car take a look at it for me? There's a $100 thank you in it for you. Please email me at stucordova@hotmail.com or call 425-466-2886. Thanks!

I was just there yesterday. Sad lack of inventory; I talked to Carlos, who indicated they're trying to hold on......

I'm leaving tomorrow but will be back in West Houston Wednesday night and Thursday.

Don't know if I can tell "good from not good" for you though.

I work right down the street from there. I can do it for you. Also, I work in the auto industry. Actually, I sell Lexus right down the street. I bring my car P-Car there for service. I don't know the sales staff, but I do know someone that can point me to the sales manager.

Can you post the link to the car? I'm looking at an 09 as well and contrary to a previous post I am finding that there are not too many around. There's lots of 997.1's but the .2's appear to be rarer. Maybe there's more .1's upgrading to the 991.

I'll be there tomorrow or tuesday. Let me know what is the one you're interested in and I can have a look. I bought mine there and I service it there too.

Thank you all for the help!

And thanks again to "subparrnd" for the offer and especially to "red carrera" for rearranging his busy day to stop by and check it out for me.

Looks like its a go!

Good luck. Hope it works out for you, and the car arrives in the condition it was in when I looked at it:-)
