Hi gurus,
I'm as excited as a 16-year old at Christmas as I'm looking at several 996's and can't wait to hopefully join your exciting world !!
I see everyone's recommendation on getting a PPI to identify any major issues. Can someone recommend any shops in the Stamford, CT area ?
Also, silly question - what's the process in the sales cycle for getting the PPI ? Do I have the shop pick the car up ?
Thanks,
Ward
Not exactly Stamford but in Danbury (about 30 minutes north) there's a well known Porsche shop called Speed Sport Tuning (
http://www.speedsporttuning.net/
). You can give Spencer *** a call and ask him about a PPI at his shop.
I don't have a lot of experience with the process but in my case the prior owner brought the car to the shop (a Porsche dealer) for the PPI. I bought my car in CA but most of the shops I spoke to didn't want to get involved in pick up and delivery -- too much liability. In fact, most didn't want to do a PPI at all.
If Danbury is too far you can always call New Country Porsche in Greenwich (the town over) and ask them about a PPI. If they won't do one you can ask them for a recommendation. Being a dealer, however, I'm sure you'll find people who hate them and others who love them (it's the nature of the beast). I've brought my car in for routine service there and haven't had any issues.
I hope this helps! Best of luck!!

You might also try Dan Jacobs at Hairry Dog Grrrrage, he is in Oxford, CT, I believe. Well known, well respected in the Porsche community. Also, Musante Motor Sports in Hartford. GL
Wow, small world... I lived on Morgan street by the fish church... I did not have a P-car at the time so no recommendations to add... good luck and get in the club with the right one and don't compromise!
