1 want to buy a decent 2002-2004 / 996 in FL with useful extras (technics / safety). Anyone who can recommend reliable dealers and what to check before closing the contract?

Hi,
I am new to the network and I want to export the car from FL to Germany. I understand that personal inspection is most important before making the final decision. Currently I found delaes like Custom Motors, ck Imports and Chariots of Palm Beach - they look pretty good on their websites.

When I buy the 996, can any one recommend additional reliable dealers and advise to me what I should further check before closing the contract?

 

wow! is the dollar so bad it is better to buy a german made car in America and take it back to Germany? You should try Porsche of Orlando. They are 6speed sponsor.

 

This is a great forum!
Thanks, I tried Porsche Orlando. They seem to have very limited offerings. I found only one model on the internet.

Shipping to EU seem to be quite difficult at that time due to limited cargo space. Exchange rate is really good but can be killed by high prices and high import rates to EU. So I am looking for a 996 below 45K.

Any other dealer suggestions are very wellcome - I will check all of your expert recos.

 

Hit up "ZEMDOGG"

He's with Porsche of Orlando. I've had a good experience with them.

 

yeah porsche or orlando...or my buddy on here does well with porsche of melbourne as well

 

Suncoast Porsche is one of the best dealers I have worked with...

They also like to trick our Porsches so they are mod friendly usually

 

Just got back from you long trip outside Europe and spent last week in FL, checking on car dealers.

I could not establish any contact by email to ZEMDOGG - could you assist me with an email adress, SWIFT996?

Iceman633, your replay did not reacg me before my trip. But I would like to try SUNCOAST. Do you have any details?

I saw some real good cars around Miami. A 2003 911c with 20k miles for 44000 USD, a 2003 C4S with 40k miles for 48000 USD and two 2004 C4s with around 25k miles for 53000 USD. What do you think about these price value relations?

 

Reply to DYNAMIC MOTORS - since I cannot send provate messages yet on the forum:

Yes, a 996 2003/04 Targa, or C4s would be the right one. Anything below 30k miles would be great.
Let me know if you need more details and where you are located.

You should of checked out my car...Id love to sell it!

Anyways, Suncoast is in Sarasota, Fl.

 

Would have been a great chance - I arrived back in Germany last Monday and had enough time to look around.
Tell me more about your car - any great pictures?
Thanks for the adress details - I will try this one.

 

Suncoast.

 

Where have I been!?!?!?!?

Thank you guys for the referral!

I'll shoot you a PM wolfman with all of my contact info. We might have something hiding in the back!

P.S. - I have an AWESOME C4S in stock right now with only 17K miles, carbon package and OEM GT3 wheels!!!

 

Over the years, I've purchased from Reeves (Tampa), Braman (West Palm), Brumos (Jax) and last car was from Custom Motors (Pompano). The last one was a used 996 for mostly DE stuff and Custom is a wholesaler for Champion and The Collection. My last new Porsche was from Tom Williams in Birmingham and they brought my car in an enclosed trailer and took my trade.

All dealers have been good and bad at different times. You just have to shop them all. Just because a dealer is good once, it can and will change. I can recommend Custom Motors if you're looking for a used Porsche. They were very straightforward and I'll check them again when it's time to make a change.

Wasn't The Collection the dealer that wrecked a car in for service and tried to run from it?

 

Thank you for thsi detailed reply - sounds you are a real Porsche fan!!!!!
I have contacted almost all of them and also checked their internet offers of course before. Braman seems to be very much focused on new cars - also 55.0 USD+ is over my budget..... Champions was also recommended to me fro somebody else - there is also a positive thread on the forum for Custom Motors. But their internet offers are not well updated - I called them a couple of times but they have no current stok within my budget.

Has anybody experience with Chariots of Palm Beach?
