Default Looking for a mechanic to inspect 928 and run diagnostics scan

Hi there,

I'm new to this forum, so hi everyone who shares this same Passion for Porsche :-)

I'm currently thinking of buying a 928 in the Toronto area and I'm looking for a mechanic or someone who knows the 928 (1990-1995) well and could do an inspection and run a diagnostics scan at the place of purchase. Payment could be discussed prior to meeting.

Thank you very much for your help,
Looking forward to hearing back from you,
Alex

Send a PM to Adamant. BUT the best would be to get the car up on a lift to inspect the thrust bearing clearance. Is the seller willing to have the car inspected off site?

Hi Imo,

Thanks for the advice. It's a manual, so the thrust bearing clearance risk does not apply, correct? It's complicated to have a PPI done off site, that's why I really need someone who knows the car well to test and run diagnostics.

Imo,

I somehow can't send private messages (yet), so I can't contact Adamant. Is there another way of sending him a request? Or could you possibly forward it to him? I wd really appreciate your efforts.

Cheers,
Alex
