Hoping for advice

Hey guys
I'm in the fortunate/unfortunate position of living in Australia, great weather for all year round driving but very few porsches to choose from (and they're overpriced and of poor quality)
So I'm looking to import one from the good old US of A so any advice I can get will be appreciated
I know the Porsche is a smallish community, as such this is one of the cars I'm considering, does anyone know anything about it

Thanks
Grant

Hmm - no VIN listed, that raises an eyebrow. It looks like it is in Miami, can a local Pelican take a look at it?

Theres a member here by the name of Techweenie. He runs a matchmaking service and is CA based. Google his name and his website will come up. Let him know what you want and budget and he will find things to offer you. EBay is a sketchy place to shop these cars.

Vertex is a known business. In pano and excellence every month. Not the best reputation.

There is a poster on the Rennlist 964 Forum, Jjm4life, who bought a 964 from Vertex. You may want to PM him for an opinion.

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll google techweenie and see how that goes
Agreed about eBay being risky.. also keeping an eye on the for sale forum here

Thanks again
