    Pre Purchase Inspection (PPI) Needed in Philadelphia area

    I’m looking for someone or a shop to do a PPI for me on a 1971 911T. The car is located about an hour north of Philadelphia. Thx in advance!

    If it's up near Allentown, check out Mark Burkit at Specialty Cars.

    So unless you want to run the risk of Tim coming in and possible buying it from under you, I would stay with a reputable Porsche “shop”.. Paul and Pete, owners of Performance Automotive, in the Malvern PA area are great, but as Bill suggested, if it’s in the north/Allentown area, Mark is a very solid choice.

    I've always found them reputable, but if you've had issues I defer. They do buy cars, but I also understood they do some services.

    From my conversation with Tim Holt, they are not buyers for early 911s...his bread and butter business is the type he currently has on his website...starting with G bodies and mostly beyond that. As he told me, that's where people are putting their money today so those are his preferred cars to buy and resell.

    Yep, Tim doesn’t deal in early cars but he is a dealer, not a shop, so do you think for a minute that if he came across a early car that was a “good” deal that he could flip he wouldn’t be interested? ��
    There are plenty of good “shops”in the Philly area that can do a PPI for the right reason.
    If you’re looking to buy a later model 911, Tim could be your guy..
