Default Possible purchase of a GT3- help! Pompano Beach fl

I have never bought a car that was never inspected or driven by me. Well, I found a possible beauty in Florida. It's a 2010 GT3 and have spoken with the guy a few times and he seems like a nice guy. Now it's a big purchase, so I need a mechanic/technician to inspect it and report to me. Any ideas? How do people buy car from out of state?
Thanks

you have to have them take it to Champion porsche and get inspected. Call the service dept and ask them to inspect it and give you the results and ask to look up all the service history

Another alternative is Foreign Affairs Motorsports in Pompano Beach. Ask to talk with Bob Varela, the owner of the shop, at 954 746 0488.

One more thing, I am looking at a car being sold by Miami Beach Collection. Any experience with these guys?

Champion Porsche, Foreign affair or 30 minutes north Orbit Racing for inspections.
The Porsche owner will likely knows all 3.

I had experience with the Collection, I bought my 08 C2S from them and got the mods from them. It was not the best experience...

Good luck with the purchase

My suggestion is Orbit.

If by Miami Beach Collection you mean Collection Porsche in Coral Gables, that's a proper Porsche dealership; I doubt they'd be willing to send the car all the way to Orbit for a PPI. Their mechanics can at least go over the car and maybe do a CPO on it.

Another option would be TUNERS in Coral Springs... try Miguel at 954-954-345-7877. These are the guys I use for service items I dont wish to tackle myself. Very accomodating and knowledgeable.
