Default 430's Lonely

Looking at a 09 Scud at a Conn. dealership. Now is the time to have the best of BOTH worlds. Does anyone know of a
TRUSTWORTHY individual who can perform a ppi on this car. Trust very important as I am unable to travel to see car in person. Don't the dealers know most of these guys? How do I know I'm getting the real skinny on this car? My 430 was a private deal. PPI guy was very good. Can't use him for conn. deal. Too far to travel.

I'm thinking that's some kind of record. 10 days ownership and you're back in the market. Kinda like having an affair on your honeymoon.

Miller motors is a very reputable dealer. I'd personally trust them to do a PPI on a car in there inventory provided they could back it up with a warrantee. If you need another set of eyes, I'd suggest Blackhorse garage in Bridgeport CT, Redline Restorations in Fairfield CT, Forza in New Milford CT or maybe Wayne Carini at F40 motorsports. Like you say, they all know one another.

You might also consider Jim McGee at Pocono Sportscar. Not sure he could comply but he's a very good independent that's further away, Ferrari trained and a great guy.

All these shops have websites you can peruse. I use Jimmy as I trust him the most with my car and his pricing is more to my liking.

Thanks for your response-
You trust Miller Motors to do a PPI on a car they are selling? Power Warranty is available. Sounds like the fox is watching the hen house. Sorry for my doubts. That's me I suppose. Thanks for the other referrarals. I will be in touch with them.

Scud will be great but what about a complementary ride? A 12cylinder GT (599) or a 2+2 (FF or 612)?

If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.
