Have heard they have a good reputation for well kept cars. Generally well sorted out...

Sweet looking collection of cars. If memory serves me correctly, they were selling Seinfeld's one-of-one 993TT a while back.

Please post some updates on your experience with this vendor as well as your search.

Nothin' like a 993

+1 they have a great rep. Cars are not cheap, but they seem to stand behind them.

Rob Morgan owns Truspeed and he is a great guy. He is very up front with me, i almost bought the 959 from them a while back but backed off last minute, he is a great guy though.

+1 for Truspeed. I've never bought from them, but have been in their huge showroom several times and they seem like a quality operation.

Don't do that...that was a consignment car...all you had to do was ask.

Euromasters is actually a good place, hard to beat a 5 year 50k mile warranty.

When I buy a 996 for a DD, Euromasters will be the place.

No affiliation, other than they let me walk around there on lunch break.

I purchased from them before.

There are some other things that would prevent me from giving them a "great place to buy" status, but they're not a bad place either. They have a good selection of cars to choose from. Just make sure YOU do a thorough due diligence before you buy. That means an independent PPI and not from a place that regularly does business with them.

Just bought from Truspeed, checked out Europmasters too but Truspeed did alot of work on the car presale which worked for me. The warranty is a little questionable from Euromasters, they underwrite it themselves and if they're gone tomorrow, no more warranty, and the price was higher because of the warranty. It is definitely a gut check issue on the PPI, but Truspeed has a good reputation and they do a PPI and are very open people to deal with on all issues. Will follow up with more info in a few months on how the car is doing.

Bought a '97 C2S, Silver with Red and black interior, carbon fiber steering wheel, factory aero kit, chroms shifter and brake lever, alot of options. Pics are in my garage, not sure how that works on this site, but I do like the site alot. I'm holding back on posting more about Truspeed until I get a few months under my belt with the car. If anyone does want to talk about them send me a private message and I'd be glad to call you.
