Nico. I was recommended by PCA Modesto to contact you. I am a recent Porsche 911 potential buyer, although I have admired these cars all my life. I am in a position to purchase one now as a fun car to use on weekends. My budget range is $25,000 to $35000, and I am interested in a 991 996, or 997 (1999 to 2008), or a 2007 or 2008 or beyond if the value is right. In this search I am willing to pay for expert advice and the capability to do a mechanical (full) diagnostic on any car I may be considering for purchase. Is this something you may be interested in helping me with? You come highly recommended. I live in both Stockton and San Mateo. My contact information is below.
