Hi,

Posting from the Shore Club in Miami

Even after telling myself I would get away from checking cars online during the trip, I cant help it LOL!!

Ayways, i seem to have located a nice turbo in Minneapolis, MN and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for mechanical and cosmetic shops (PPI).

So far, im looking at Carousel Porsche and LaMettry's Paint specialist...

Keep me posted boys and Bonita!

 

Awesome man, have a great time !!!

 

PM Luis about this. I think I know which car you're looking at. Carousel is a solid dealership and should be able to provide you with a PPI.

By the way, shoot me a PM if you decide to pick the car up instead of having it delivered. It'd be fun to meet another TS member!

 

What year Turbo is it? That will help me determine where to send you.

 

Does it have a black interior? I'm looking forward to some pics, IF you end up getting it.

 

thanks guys!

It's a 2001 with under ten k miles. After having told myself I shouldn't be looking at 996tt, I can't help but appreciate a great bargain. Although I have been bouncing between the idea of a 996tt and a 997.1s.
Either way, both are great cars...

Alzilla, If things work out, I would love to meet up!

One thing that bothered me about carousel is that I was quoted 6 hours / 800$ for a leakdown test and about the same for a compression test. Is that possible???? Crazy?
PPI is around 130$ plus 5O$ for a DME scan. (great price)

Let me know any info you have luis! I'm calling lamettrys on Monday so they can get a paint meter gauge on the car before I bother with a ppi.

 

Jc, yes!!!
Black interior but it's no x50 LOL!

 

UPDATE:

So...i had a paint pro go see the car (@ Maserati of Minneapolis) before I even bothered with a PPI (Im very anal when it comes to paintwork LOL...call me crazy).

Anyways, the left quarter panel has been repainted. So im on the hunt again.

Still, asking price is great @ $54K with 7000 mi...if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the help everyone. Ill keep you posted.

 

Sorry to hear it was a dud, Dan. Good luck with the hunt!

 

I think one of my customers has an unmolested (paint-wise) 996tt with mods that he wants 60k for? Nice car, lots of $ in the tune. PM me, I'll see if I can get you in touch with him.
