Help -- Anyone in SoCal Near McKenna? 996 Checkout?

Hi,

Way out here in DC, and looking at a 996TT at McKenna, and can use a hand in checking out the car. They have run a PPI and it is CPO, but want to have another set of eyes look things over from a cosmetic perspective. Anyone able to help me out?

Anyone have experience buying from them as well?

Thank you!!!

Paul

Happened to stop by McKenna on my way back from seeing a client. I went in to see my Service Advisor to get a quote on some repair work on my car. While I was there I saw the 05 Speed Yellow Turbo S in the showroom ( really couldn't miss it ), it was clean and like new. The only flaws I saw was a couple of small rock chips on the front bumper and a small 2 inch scrape at the bottom of the front bumper ( Driver Side)- nothing a medium touch up couldn't fix. No dings or dents that I could see the paint looks new as well as the wheels ( no road rash), and the interior looked new and smelt like it. According to McKenna it's a one owner vehicle who traded it in for a 997.

For the record, I've never purchased a car at McKenna- I've only taken my car to have serviced there and I am very happy with the work they have done and the way they have treated me. Good luck and let us know how it turns out. Please feel free contact me if you need any additional help.

Ruben is the tech you want. He does all of the GT-3 and RS's that come into McKenna for servicing. He is the only person that has ever worked on my car.
