Best Place for a PPI in Scottsdale, Arizona? Buying a Car Remotely...

I'm looking at a 996TT in Scottsdale, Arizona and, obviously, it's all been through emails and phone calls.

Can anyone recommend a shop that will do a THOROUGH inspection of the car? I'd be relying on this shop in making a fairly large purchase, so I want to make sure I get the best shop for the job.

Also, if anyone has any suggestions for buying a car remotely, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, they do. I talked with Robert there, who was more than nice. I was actually thinking of using them, but I was just wondering if there were any other suggestions or recommendations.

I assume since you're mentioning them that you've had a good experience with them before?

Thanks for the help.

I have had a great in person experience with them and their tuning capabilities. Also have had plenty of their items installed by my local shop.

Buying remotely? As in you are not going to go there and drive it??

You can get from LA to PHX and back in a half day... leave LAX at 2, get back by midnight.

Definitely want to see it yourself, IMO

yeah LA's only a 1/2 hour by plane, so make that about 1 1/2 each way because of check in time etc. Then take it over to EVOMS and have a nice thorough PPI done, including dumping the DME for overrevs.

I've used Robert for years. You CANNOT go wrong with him!

I was all ready to have Robert help with the ppi, but he was fully booked on Friday. I told my wife that I would just wait until Monday to have the ppi done. She told me she just spent the morning on the phone with the dealer and had arranged to buy the car and had wired the funds; she wanted it to be a surprise when I got there but I guess I would ruined it if I had waited until Monday or something. Doh. Drove home on Saturday without incident but will probably have the car checked out locally this week.

Heh crazy.
