Question Where to inspect in North Texas ?

Hi all, my brother is looking at purchasing a 996 Turbo in North Texas, and we're wondering what dealer(s) would be suggested for inspection, both mechanically and cosmetically?

Thanks in advance!

I would recommend going to Ruf Auto Centre in Addison.

http://www.rufautocentre.com

Hans Hoffman will take care of you.

If you prefer a Porsche dealer, go to Boardwalk Porsche. If possible, request for Gladwill...

I have gotten all my P-cars maintained at Boardwalk, fyi, and they even did the State Inspection and Green Sheet on my new car.

Which one is he looking at? PM me if you prefer. I ended up finding the car for me in Florida!

Rufautocentre seems like the place to go; for some reason, Boardwalk Porsche doesn't do inspections anymore. Thanks for the tip!

Hans was a great choice for inspection. He was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. My brother now has his Turbo at home! Thanks for the recommendation.

That is great! glad to have been able to help! Hans is one of the best service advisors I've ever had to work with (when he was still at the Porsche dealer) and he maintains the same attitude at Ruf!
