Does anyone have any experience with Rocky Mountin Motorsports in Denver, good or bad?

I am thinking about a 99 996 that they have there, and want to know their reputation.

If anyone is in the vicinty and could drop by and check it out that would be great. I want to confirm that it is indeed excellent as they describe, before I get on a plane to check it out.

Rocky Mountain Eurosport
885 S Oneida St
Denver, CO 80224

Thanks in advance for any help.

The answer is the car has the right options. Its a 99 996 C4, in Guards red, low miles with sport suspension, all leather (not just partial), aero kit, and the carbon/aluminum trim package, litronics, and a bunch of other nice features. So if this car was local, the seller and I would proably have worked out a deal by now. But that particular combination doesn't come along every day.

Certainly it is a long way to go, but figuring in a day trip to see the car and the shipping, and it amounts to about $1500 on the price. So it then becomes: can I get the seller to a point where I can cover that difference in his price, vs what I can find locally. And if the answer to that is no, then I will wait patiently for the right car to come along here.

So I will work on him for price, and if we can get that sorted out, I will go there with the intention of buying if it stands up to his claims. But having another opinion prior to that time would help me in my confidence. The main things I am looking for are not 996 specific areas, they are more as you noted. I want to know its cosmetic state: paint, leather, wheels, are the tires new as claimed. And perhaps most importanly, put a hand under the sump at the rear seal end (seam between the engine and the transmission) and see if it is leaking. The RMS is a $1000 item to fix, and it is not uncommon on the 99's. Also, I would like to be reassured that this is a real brick and mortar business, not just a web site and a phone.

So if you are in the neighborhood and can drop by, see Leon, and tell him you are there on my behalf, and give it the once over. If you like Porsches, there are other 993s, 996s and a Turbo in his inventory.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
