Need pair of eyeballs in Cleveland/Akron area, also PPI recommendations

Hey guys,

After months of research and lurking and reading hundreds of old threads, I'm finally ready to get into my first P-car soon. I'm in Austin, TX and I have found a 996TT I'm pretty interested in at a dealer in the Cleveland, OH area.

I have been talking to the dealer for a week, but before I negotiate a final price and arrange for a PPI, I need a 996TT guru in the area to eyeball the car and maybe take it for a short drive. Especially to test for the the dreaded 2nd gear pop-out, and verify there aren't any major cosmetic problems with the car beyond what the dealer has shown me. I really don't want to waste a trip up there to seal the deal and find out this is not what it seems if I can avoid it.

If you are interested and available, please shoot me a PM and hopefully I can make it worth your while in some way. Additionally, I need a suggestion on where to schedule a PPI in the area as I am clueless and certainly want the PPI even though the car is a CPOed.

Thanks!

I live and work in the Cleveland area. As I do a lot of traveling in the area for my job I could possibly stop into the dealership and have a look. Let me know where it's at.

I would love to help you out, but am only 19, so dealers are pretty hesitant to throw me a pair of keys and say "go for it."

Good luck!

Hah, yeah, thanks Brendan but probably not a good idea.

TurboTodd, you have an incoming PM!
