Hey - my very first thread!

A buddy of mine has an offer to buy a 914 LS2. This is Tony's old car.

We're in Mass., the car is in California (near Ventura), so he's looking to find someone local (and knowledgeable) to do a pre-purchase inspection before finalizing the deal.

Recommendations or offers gladly accepted. Happy to pay time & expenses.

Thanks

Anyone?

I would but that is a 6+ hour drive to get there. This is a big state... Where are all the SoCal guys?

I would like to help but Ventura is a three or four hour drive in 15mph six lane freeway traffic unless done a 3am. And Ventura is only 97 miles from Laguna Beach.....

Maybe someone from LA could chime in.

155 miles from here.

I'm headed to Ventura at the end of June if that helps.

I used TRE Motorsports in Van Nuys last year for a 911 and was happy with the thoroughness and price.

It was $250.00 They took lots of pictures (32) and they did all their usual stuff and everything I asked for additionally, plus were willing to spend time explaining on the phone with me in detail and issued a thorough printed report of findings. Still a bit of a trek but its LA and I would recommend.

Good luck!

Thanks guys! I'll try TRE Motorsports.

I had called another Porsche Specialist out there and they said they don't even do 914's. And that was before I told them about the v8.

Call:

Jason Duarte 
He is in Ventura
RS enterprises 805-643-1041

He worked on my 911 when I lived in that area (long time ago).
Just checked (with my uncle) and he is still there.

Ventura is not that big... He probably knows the car already.
