Default Anyone have any experience with Lee's Fine Cars in Thornhill

I'm always a bit leery of any place that has "Fine Cars" in the name.

Anyone have any info on this car?

Wouldn't a comparable car be $20,000-$30,000 less in the US?

Yes, and that is still an option but the major drawback is that I can't trade in my current car that way. I've sold many cars privately in the past, but not sure I want to deal with the headache this time around. Having said that, this car would be a compromise as the colour is my second choice and it doesn't have PCCB.

I have always serviced my BMW and Mercedes there for many years and have found them very informative and good. Since my cuurent ride is still under warranty, it has not been there but I will have no hesitation in bringing it there.

My guess on this car is that it probably used to belong to one of the owners. They have had many personal Porsches over the years including Cayman, GT3, TT etc. etc.

I will ask them and then post when I go there on Friday since my vehicle is there doing some bodywork right now.

I was mistaken. This is not the owners car since he is keeping his. it belongs to one of his clients. Car is in great condition and is great value!

Dennis,
You have to take me for a ride before that beautiful red car says goodbye.

For sure Sean, but it doesn't look like he is all that eager to sell, as he hasn't responded to my request for the VIN. The colour is not my first choice anyway, and it doesn't have the options I want. Guess I'll keep looking.

Thanks. I'm still waiting on the VIN. I don't have a lot of time to track the car so it might see 1-2 events/year. I would prefer PCCB. Wouldn't mind the axle lift either and it doesn't appear to have this.

I hear you on that. I think it cost me $4,500 worth of my time to sell the 964 earlier this year...PITA!

Thanks for the info, but you can tell him he lost a potential sale since he hasn't replied again ever since I asked for the VIN and to set up a time to view the car. Guess I'll keep looking.
