Chuck,
Carfax did not show any problems. I pulled the VIN and checked records at a Porsche dealer. I found 3 failed fuel pumps, New tranny for worn syncros and then PPI found all the other issues as stated above.

So a Porsche records search and a good PPI is highly recommended.

As usual, any and all feedback most welcome.

Thanks in advance,

i can tell you that I have looked at some of the cars they purchase at auction and can tell you that a majority of them have major issues that have been disclosed by the auction comapny and they still buy them.... I guess they figure there is an *** for every seat as long as the price is right... They seem to be doing fine financially, but I believe consumers deserve a better "product".

while i tend to agree with most of this statement, I do believe there are some dealers that operate on a different level and break their asses everyday to go the extra mile for customers. Sometimes, it isnt all about the bucks with some people. Obviosuly, those types of dealers are among the very, very tiny minority in this business, but they arent extinct just yet...

I got my 911TT from Windy City a couple months ago. Got a hell of a deal. They've been helpful with little issues, brought it in to the city for me (too low to get on a flatbed) and let my 4 year old sit in the drivers seats of a viper, a GT2, and a Gallardo. Ben was in heaven!

They seem to have good deals, partly because cars are imperfect, but do the homework - you never know what is in the history of these cars.

You forgot American Congressman or Senator.

This is not the first time I have heard bad things about this dealer. Sounds like that particular car was treated harshly.

Indeed that why I got help from a forum member and took it to a shop of he recommended and not the one Windy City was pushing for $150.

Al at CPT did a great job diagnosing a bearing sound in this car that just did not sit well with me. So you can not beat good friends and great PPI.
