Whereabouts in Tampa?

I’m maybe an hour and a half South of Tampa Airport. I might not be able to see the car but could help with local info, as I used to live in Tampa and had my C2 serviced at Reeves.

I'm about 30 minutes from Tampa.
Can check out cosmetics only, not a mechanic so can't give you any info about the mechanicals.

EDIT: Can also recommend a PPI - Pedro who's a well known member of the community is my neighbor.

I agree with the above: call Pedro at Pedro's Garage. He's trustworthy, and can give you a PPI...I think he charges $100+.

Personally, I'm not sure I'd be buying a 911 right now, given the market. . .I would be selling mine if I cared about price (but I don't, as I'm planning on holding mine until I'm too old to drive, or until driving is made illegal). . . but you might have to wait a few years for prices to come down, but before any of us are very old, prices will probably be much lower in the future. ..

That's still a bit of a hike for me.

Can you post a link to the specific car?
