I'm wondering if ANYONE here who is knowlegable about Porsche can take a look at the car for me,(its near gross pointe) cosmetically and drive it then give me their opinion- and if its its good to recommend a Shop near Gross Pointe to get the PPI done at (Full PPI including Compression test and all that)

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey guys, in my rediculous endless search that has been going on for 2 months now i think i "may Have" found a car in MI- Will probably have to get it shipped here to AZ *quote was around $800* I'm a bit hesitant about buying a Porsche 02-911 from MI with 63k miles-the roads there suck, i know first hand i used to live there.. I'm wondering if ANYONE here who is knowlegable about Porsche can take a look at the car for me,(its near gross pointe) cosmetically and drive it then give me their opinion- and if its its good to recommend a Shop near Gross Pointe to get the PPI done at (Full PPI including Compression test and all that) Thanks alot, i would totally appreciate this, and hopefully can pass the favour on by checking one out for someone here in Arizona one day. I'm going to post this on 6speed as well..hopefully someone from one of the forums will help

Munk's Motors in Waterford is 30-40 miles away from Grosse Pointe. They're good people and know Porsches well. (They do the tech inspections for the local PCA DEs.) Gilson Motorsports is also in the SE Michigan area. It's run by Howard Gilson, who is a great guy and a great mechanic. Unfortunately I don't know 996s well enough myself to look at the car for you (I don't own one yet, still in the research phase). Best of luck! -vik
