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 |

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..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)
Maybe someone from LA could chime in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

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. TRE Motorsports 15854 Strathern St Van Nuys, CA 91406 818-909-9220 Good luck! Jim |

Jim I agree use a place like this that knows and builds These cars and get your money's worth Will be the best 250 you ever spend Weather the cars a basket case or a dream ride Piece of mind is expensive, piece of cake is cheap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

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. Br, |
