Default Anybody near Sarasota, FL with Durametric free around lunch tomorrow -7/29?

I am flying in to Sarasota tomorrow to buy a car from an individual, and would greatly appreciate the ability scan the car's systems if anybody can help me out.

You can send me a PM with contact info or respond here. Help would be much appreciated.

I have a laptop and the software, just need a dongle, or you can bring your entire set up. I just want to check current/pending codes and rev history.

THANKS!

Averted, I was able to borrow one from a friend in town before I hopped on the plane.
Thanks everyone.

Thanks, it's proving to be quite the adventure. I'll update...
<-- At the airport waiting for my connecting flight.

PS: If anybody is on the way between Sarasota and Raleigh NC, feel free to send me a PM for grabbing lunch or something!

Thanks, again. I did buy it. Couple of little things to fix, but I'm actually rather pleasantly surprised at how good this car is. A month without a 996 was too long!

Sure look nice, mileage? How many does this make for you? Are you buying and flipping them as you go?

It's at 88k miles currently (I bought it with 86k!). This is my third 996, and first MKII. I buy a lot of cars that I like, and I enjoy fixing the little things -and every car has issues-. It's a bad habit. I also have an 86 VW GTI right now. :/
