I have a couple of times. I bought a 911 from a long time poster on Pelican and didn't really know what I was doing. This was years ago. It was ok but I could have been smarter about it. The inspection was a joke and I should have walked at that point but ultimately it was a good learning experience.

The latest one I was going to go see the car but COVID. I found a 356 that was RNM on BAT. I tracked the seller down through the Registry and this time had a very thorough inspection done at RMG enterprises in Sunnyvale.

The BAT listing was pretty good. Lots of records. Long term CA ownership and black plate car.
The 356 crowd there seemed to approve. The inspection went well. I cancelled two trips to go see it and just decided to rely on RMG and if I really didn't like it could walk away when I drug my wife down to pick it up.

We made the trip and the car was and has been better than I was expecting. The 911 is long gone, of course sold way too cheap back in 2010 or so. I won't sell the 356.
