Jenkins is a great place. Abojo is a real class act. They are in my opinion the most stand-up used car dealer in Florida. I have had the pleasure of working with them on several occasions.
cheers

I saw mine on ebay (Dealer listing), negotiated a deal, then clicked 'buy it now' to close the auction. Dealer honored the negotiated price and I will likely buy my next one at the same place.

As for this 996, form a seller with no feedback, gotta get it checked out and see a title. And the reserve has not been met, so who knows the price?

THe price is $43k...which SEEMS too good to be true! BUT I ran a carfax on it. It was a leased vehicle for 7k miles...then this guy has a loan on it....Otherwise the CarFax is SPOTLESS! i am having Davi take some pics of it for me, then having the seller take it to Champion to do a PPI on Thursday! If all is good, I BUY IT! YAY!

43k for an '03 is a deal and a half -- good luck with it. Hopefully the PPI goes smoothly

what are you going to use the car for? daily driver? track? if you're track oriented, I would probably go with the 993 c4s. Otherwise, I would go with the 03

i had a year old lexus w/ disclosed frame damage i traded in that was retroactively totaled by the insurance company (diminished value). guess what? "spotless" carfax. i've got a buddy who's completely screwed up (will be frame damage this time) his M3 3 weeks after getting it back from the last "incident". guess what? "spotless" carfax. moral of the story, carfax is a very very small tool and should not be given excessive weight since absent a police report, it's always gonna be "spotless" even if it was "horrific".

Good used car dealers?

In Miami?

I was around the used car biz for several years in Central and S. Fla during college (buying and selling cars was how I got through). It's mostly a very slimmy biz.
