Anybody in the Phoenix area want to do a P-PPI for me on a '04 996

Pre-PPI - I guess...

Same old story I'm 2,100 miles away and the pictures look great, but I've already nixed 2 cars after spending close to $300 each for PPI's. I know that's why you get them, but it still smarts in the wallet. All I'm after is a visit to the dealer, a thorough walk around and look underneath for leaks, cupped tires - obvious stuff. Ideally a test drive. I could make a checklist and you can do any or all. I just want to get a better feel before I have them take it in for a formal PPI.

So if you have a spare afternoon and want to test drive a '04 996, I'd be eternally grateful.

Thanks

Please PM me.

356,

I wanted to help Steve out but it was a bit too far for me. The car is at a dealer on Scottsdale Rd near McDowell - not too far from PHX.

Thanks KNS - I guess I assumed the bb would email when new posts to this thread...anyhow

The dealer is:
Plaza Motors

Tempe, Arizona 85281

According to Google maps, it's 6.2 miles from the Phoenix Int'l Airport

Hey there Kurt! Long time no see my friend. Hope all is well. Darin DeYoung at DeYoung motors in Prescott is a first class Porsche wrench with a great shop. Not a cheap date but who wants that so much anyway when you're talking cars like our 996 Turbos? PPI's are a must and a competent one worth every penny.

Donny

Hey Donny! Darin is a great guy, he did a little work on my car before I found Jay.

Please give a heads up the next time there is a Porsches-to-Prescott, I'd like to make it up.
