Hey there, just sold my 996, and am on the hunt for a 997. Found one in the Encinitas, CA area, and would like to know if anyone has any references for someone to do a PPI. I'm in Dallas, TX and can't make it (obviously).

Also, if someone here is in that area, and is bored, you're more than welcome to go do visual for me, I'd greatly appreciate it!

 

Pioneer Porsche in San Diego.

 

You could try Hoehn Porsche in Carlsbad (the city just north of Encinitas).

Other Independents to check out:
-- European Motorsports in Vista (close to Encinitas). They did my PPI.
-- Black Forest Automotive in San Diego

I'm in Carlsbad and would be happy to do a visual for you. PM me if you'd like me to check it out.

 

Second that from Carlsbad

 

Pioneer Porsche is now Porsche of San Diego. They have a great service dept.

I have first hand knowledge of Black Forest. A great Indy shop and they did my PPI.

Personally I prefer Indy specialists vs dealers for a pre-buy. Make sure that they can get the DME over rev report.

Good Luck!

 

Than you all for the quick responses. SRV, I'll be PM'ing you on that visual, it would be greatly appreciated!

 

Mspross --

Got your PM but I don't have enough posts yet to PM you back.

Can you PM me again with your contact info?

 

Hoehn Porsche in Carlsbad is excellent, IMO.

If the owner is willing to drive a bit, Hergesheimer in Lake Forest is absolutely top notch. http://www.hergesheimer.com/ They only work on P cars and are huge supporters of the PCA.

Good luck.

 

I'll second the recommendation for Hoehn in Carlsbad.

I have not used them, but have heard good things about Black Forest - our regional PCA technical adviser is on staff there and he seems very knowledgable about all things Porsche.

My experiences with Porsche of San Diego have been less than great.

GL with the car.
