Hello; I have a chance to buy a 2016 Porsche Cayman. Not a great deal but not a bad price either. I hope to get a pre purchase inspection done prior tp purchase but do not know where in SE Kentucky. The car in is London KY. Do any of you happen to know of a place in that area?
I can find two places in Knoxville TN. There is a dealer in Kingsport TN. Not sure now but there use to be a dealer in Lexington Ky. All are some distance from London KY with Lexington likely being the closer, but still not close.
Hello; I located a shop in Lexington KY, Foreign Affairs Autoworks. They will do a PPI for $125. I sent the seller the information today but have not heard back yet.
Basically she has gotten several bites on the car so far. I happen to live around 60 miles away so drove up Sunday. The car seems nice and she is not willing to lower her asking price. I agreed to pay her asking price if I can get a PPI to help confirm that the car is as sound as it seems to be.
The seller is supposed to have another potential buyer over to see the car Tuesday. I agreed that her smart play is to see if he/she will pay her price without such an inspection. I owned a 914 back in the 1970's and early 80's and could check out one of those, but do not know what to look for in the Cayman.
The car is out of factory warranty and she is the third owner. I am probably being too cautious and such will likely cause me to lose a good car.
I like your suggestion and will call around if the car is not gone tomorrow. Thanks.
Get the vin# and have the local Porsche dealer run it for service record also get a carfax and if both are clean you should be okay to proceed. It's a 4 year old car that you already inspected in person!
I'm guessing there is similar bulletin board similar to this one that focuses on Cayman/Boxsters, you might have better luck there.

Hello; I actually did try a couple of such sites. At first as a visitor and then tried to join. Turns out PCA requires payment which presents a problem. Not the cost but that I do not do online money transfer. Just do not trust the systems enough to put account info online.
I was about to join rennlist but some demands for personal information showed up that I am not comfortable with.
I have been a member here for a few years. I do not post much but check the for sale adds often. My initial goal was to get another 914 when I bought my home ten years ago. I had a 1972 914 for 12 years back in the 70' and 80's. This has been somewhat less successful than I hoped. Anyway since I was already a member I tried here in case some one might have the information.
Hello; The car is still available and the seller is willing to allow an inspection. I did ask for and get the VIN. I will see about getting some info from that tomorrow. Will have to pay the full asking price is the only negative so far.
Thanks for the help.
