928 Inspection in Florida?

[carjmark]

Hello all, new to 928 forum although 911 veteran owner. Looking for some help in finding a pre-purchase inspection for 87' AT 928 w/58K mi. close enough to West Palm Beach to get car to inspection. Tried a couple of shops and dealer that either don't do PPI, don't have manuals, books, knowledge...

Been 15+ years since owned an early 80's 928 and always wanted another but remember how good and how bad they can be. I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to check flex plate/crank float, belts, etc. 87' 928 appears to be in excellent condition cosmetically but has no service documentation (dealer so can't talk to owner) so no idea when belts/water pump etc. last done except seems to run well, no major leaks or warning lights. Can accept car needs thorough service, few repairs but trying to avoid the rare total disaster.

Would appreciate any tips for local inspection. Would really like to buy car but I'm out of state and won't pull the trigger without a better idea of what I'm in for.

Thanks, Mark

Jon,

Thanks for the link for 928 PPI. It's the best I've seen and had some key points I hadn't considered.

I haven't used either of them [I generally work on my 928 myself], but many people in the area talk well of both.

Good luck!

Thanks for the responses, I was able to get a preliminary inspection done which confirmed my worst fears and am steering clear. Thanks again Mark
