I'm in Miami Beach & if it's close, I might be able to go and take a test drive with it & inspect it a little bit, plus take some quality digital photos.

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.

Still deciding on this 01 Porsche with aerokit deal from FLorida, I am in Southern California.
Is this normal for a dealer to ask me for such thing? Guys, the car is in Florida & i am doing a 60k transaction. Have you guys ever done such thing and not be nervous about it. Just to have it inspected, they want me to pay 5000.00 (fully refundable according to them) before they take it to Porsche. Now after arguing with them for 5 minutes, they reduced it to 2500.00
Help me out..

make sure the $2500 goes into an attorney's escrow account for safekeeping with instructions for using a portion of it to pay for the inspection. this safeguard would make this an acceptable condition to me and reassure the seller of your seriousness. let us know what happens <img border="0" alt="[blabla]" title="" src="graemlins/a_smil17.gif" />
i dunno if this is good or bad to you, but i've seen this car on ebay about 3 times in the last 4 months, since nov. maybe it is the same owner which never got the amount they wanted or someone bought it and wants to get rid of it, but i am sure its the same one...i was offering for the exhaust only back then and that's how i remember.

I think one of you gentlemen in Florida should help Yellowbmr and suggest a reliable attorney that could assist him with this transaction. Most dealers do not put deposits in escrow. He's rolling the dice without legal help.
before you commit, i suggest you contact someone I know named daniel [phone removed]
He deals these types of cars everyday and probably can even get you a better deal here in California.
What I don't understand (among other things) is why the outfit you're dealing with wants so much for inspection. If I were selling the car I would welcome an independent inspection. If I didn't sell it to you, then I'd have the inspection report for the next potential buyer.
I think something is fishy.
i just called them to see if they take a credit card for deposit, he said they are not setup for such thing, they only are setup for wiring money. They askemd my fax# so i could wire the money. i smell fishy also.
i meant to say that i smell something fishy, i don't smell fisy, i am a colonge freak.
thanks again for all your postings.
i keep checking again for more postings regarding this.
I would wait and find a car in CA that you could check out yourself. This dealer should already have a inspection done on the car before they sell it. That was what was done on my car before I bought it. Here is a link just something to start with,

Don't pay for that. They should take it to inspection without money (and PPI should run about $150 or so).
Where is it in Florida?
I'm in Miami Beach & if it's close, I might be able to go and take a test drive with it & inspect it a little bit, plus take some quality digital photos.
I know a car wholesaler in FL who would be happy to speak with you just to answer questions and give you info. Contact Rick Feldman at [phone removed].
I saw that car yesterday at Champion. Didnt pay much attention to it other than the Strosek wing (never seen another one with it in FL). If you tell me where the car is I can go take a thorough look at it. Let me know.
