Default Shop for PPI near Germantown?
I'm looking at a used Porsche near Germantown. Any thoughts on a shop for a pre-purchase inspection?

I would absolutely take it to Matt. But keep in mind Matt is sometimes the voice of doom, esp. for the water-cooled engines. He'll tell you what is wrong with ALL of these cars (he's probably right, to a degree) and also what is wrong with this particular car (worth it's weight in gold). If the car is a 9A1 engine, I'd be interested to hear his take on them - I've never talked to him about them.

Good luck!

Peter, I don't believe Porsche was putting 9A1 engines in the front of their cars.

Oh, and X3 for Matt.
