Question Help?!

I've been looking for a porsche now for 4 months and cant seem to find one i like within my price range. I know my price range isnt to low. Am i doing something wrong, looking in the wrong places? I check autotrader, cars.com, rennlist, and yahooautos on an almost daily basis... I dont check ebay because the chances that i will find one in the state are very slim. But speaking of which, if i were to purchase one out of state, how much would it cost to make it meet California smog laws?

Submit your requirements to www.thalist.com After searching on all the other sites for months, I found my car via www.thalist.com in a couple of hours...

On the www.thalist.com site, click on the "Vehicle Locator" button and fill out the form and submit it. Your requirements will be sent to several hundred dealers who specialize in high-end used cars.

I submitted my requirements and within several hours I was already receiving e-mail replies from dealers who had cars that exactly (or very closely) matched my specs and budget. I only got very highly qualified responses. This service worked very, very well for me. I hope it works as well for you...

RE: Smog requirements, unless the car was modified, all cars meet CA smog requirements. I think it was back in the 70's that CA was stricter, but it hasn't been that way for quite a while. My car came from Rhode Island and passed the smog check with no problems.
