Wow thats actually insane.....

^ Yep, you feel slimy after you spend a few minutes talking with Oscar (spelling?)

Z3guy 03-09-2016 09:36 AM

^ you should hear the stories of customers that don't sue and take matters into their own hands....lol!!!

2012 Audi S4

White, 6 speed manual, not 2010, lower kms, great price = :thumbsup:

I came across this, the first two images show up in ads from the US (but on sites I've never heard of) that don't have any interior pics. Fake?

2001 Toyota 4Runner - Castanet Classifieds

bcuzracecarz 03-09-2016 10:46 AM

I'd say fake based on price and kms alone, the pics kinda seal the deal IMO

Car was 100% mint, Touringteg will confirm.

Drove like a GT3 should. Epic car. Too bad I was scared to break it and drove it like grandma.

Oem Porsche parts are worth big coin so it doesn't surprise me they would resell parts. I sold a broken 993 transmission to Europe with a hole in the casing and netted $1600 CAD

Toyota tax has been pretty high as of late. If the ad were legit and local, it would fetch an easy $9k here. 01, and 68k only? has to be fake :badpokerface:

Lol. And this is why I do all of my own work.

Knowing a few of the stories with the various shops around town, seems a lot of the well-known "Porsche gurus" in Vancouver are shady as fuck - Blitzkrieg, Weissach, Scan, ROTtec, etcetc.

It's an absolute shame and disgrace, really.

bcrdukes 03-09-2016 01:52 PM

A prospective buyer requested I bring my 996 in for a PPI.

Weissach came back with a load of gospel and turned my $36K asking price 996 into a $2000 junker.

Test drive consisting of 7KM resulted in a lemon car of a PPI. Yeah, okay. Fuck you, Weissach. IMS/RMS was done two years ago with proof in their hands. PPI said it wasn't done.

The buyer still paid near asking price, so no thanks to them. Why give everyone a heart attack? Bunch of ass hats.

SCAN is OK - just expensive. Juan's reputation is good. I haven't used Turn3 but plan to - recently attended tech day was awesome, and Jeff really knows his stuff. I've only ever been to Weissach for tours and events - never purchased from them. I do have a friend who I believe grossly overpaid for his car from them though. I remember when BK was a cool VW shop - things dun changed down there for sure.

Porsche owners in this town should consider joining PCA. The combined knowledge of members as well as the events and free tech days more than make up for the membership costs. Shops and work are frequently discussed and reviewed.

bcrdukes 03-09-2016 02:42 PM

Talk to the aircooled guys. They'll tell you Scan is a scam.

Yup, Scan is expensive...

As in my $300 PPI turned into $1500+ quote to redo the valves, change fluids, gaskets - all on a car I don't even own.

westopher 03-09-2016 03:00 PM

It doesn't sound cheap, but I'd welcome a quote of work needed on a car getting a PPI. CG did that for me with the eurospec I got inspected before I picked up my M3.

Not quite. Their excuse was that they needed to do all this work in order to do the PPI.

westopher 03-09-2016 03:04 PM

Oh I misunderstood, thats hilarious.
