Big favor needed in Houston

Hello Pelicanites

I am considering a 997 from Victory Motors in Houston. I have read a few horror stories on line and would love to have an extra pair of eyes to look at the car for me. If you are willing to do this, please shoot me a pm.

Thanks so much.

M

Hello fellow Pelican - try posting in our Regional Forums, you'll likely get a lot more eyes there. Make sure to include the city/state in the title of the thread. Hope this helps and best of luck!

Have a great Thanksgiving.

Thanks but the needs evaporated. Victory sold the car from under me after we had agreed to a deal. Such is life in the used car dealer business.

That is what I figure. A google search on his name turned up quite a few questionable deals. This is after all a used car dealer.

Our Classifieds section is updated constantly thanks to our active members, so you'll likely find a great ride soon. You'll also find recommendations on dealerships and those to steer clear of as well. Hope this help.

yeah another painful reminder to steer clear of Victory. Dealers often do not have the car they advertise but then seem to steer you towards one they do ...
