    Hello Texan Fchatters.

    I am considering a Porsche 997 from Victory Motors in Houston. I would really appreciate someone local to take a look at the car for me (cosmetically).

    And is anyone has any stories on Victory, please share, good or bad.

    Thanks,

    He's VERY proud of his cars. You'll definitely want to see it in person (or at least send someone who can). I went and checked out a 911 turbo that he listed in pristine condition, and it had more problems than you can shake a stick at.

    Well, he sold the car from under me after we had a deal. It may be a nice car, but the practice is indeed of a used car dealer. I am off to a better deal. Anyone's got a 997 for sale?

    Be happy it failed. I bought a 964 from Robert. You did well NOT doing business with him.

    So I'm curious....were you aware of his reputation prior to your purchase?.....when I was looking for Porsches during the mid-latter 2000s, you pretty much couldn't visit a Porsche forum without seeing some recap of a bad purchase on a front page of threads.

    I'm local in Houston, had a 997.2 S and now have a 997.2 GT3, so am familiar with the brand and the model. If you find another one locally, I'll be happy to walk it for you. Got a paint meter as well so can meter the car as well. Nothing better than helping someone else spend their money [emoji12]

    Interesting. I have known Robert for a number of years. Never done business with him, but once you get him to relax, he is a Porsche guy. That said, there is another guy on Houston who comes highly recommended for Porsches, but I can't recall his name.

    Agreed, I've known Robert for about 10 years and he tried to buy my 930 a time or two.

    Yes, thank you. I was having a senior moment. Never brought a car from Ray, but have buddies who don't buy anyplace but him.

    I've seen his inventory, although it was a few years ago. Spectacular condition cars.
