    I've just agreed to purchase a 2000 360 in West Palm Beach and need to have a PPI done. Shelton does not provide that service due to liability issues, and I was wondering who else is trustworthy in the area. Please let me know of any suggestions.

    Thank you.

    Sorry, I guess I'm new to this and am not sure what a PM is, but I do have a purchase order completed by Chariots of PB.

    PM means Private Message in your mailbox. Click on your screen name and you will see a link to Private Messages. It would also be a good idea to fill in your profile...people here like that. Click on your Screen Name, select View Public Profile, then User Controls, then edit profile.

    I would recommend Tim Stanford in Ft. Lauderdale. I am not sure how "up" he is on the newer cars, though. I have been out of West Palm for too long now, but I hear there is someone in Jupirter too.

    Didn't know that was possible...thought it came with signing on.

    side note: I have been on F-Chat for 9 months longer than you and you have 8000+ posts vs. my 900+ ; how does THAT happen?

    Tim Stanford is great but doesn't have the SD-2 computer to check out the 360's. He often uses Christian Fraga of Black Horse Performance in Oakland Park. Christian is a super nice guy with lots of 360 experience (worked at Shelton for years and now has his own shop). He will do a PPI without screwing you. 561-271-3968

    I'm interested in exactly the same thing as I am looking at a car that is currently at Palm Beach Ferrari. It is a Red 2008 F430 Spider:

    http://www.maseratiofpalmbeach.com/used-inventory/ZFFEW59A780159415

    The most striking thing about this car is the wing. Ordinarily I wouldn't consider a car with an aftermarket wing, but it has all the other options that I want and seems to be in good condition. Has anyone taken a look at this car? If so, what are your thoughts?

    And I'll post the question again -- where to go for a PPI in Palm Beach? Sounds like Black Horse Performance, Palm Beach Performance, and the mysterious 561-743-6441 have the staff and equipment to do a thorough PPI. Despite newer car and reasonable mileage, it has been recommended to me to still do a compression/leakdown. Of these recommendations, is there any one of them that might be considered more thorough and critical with an anal-retentive attention to detail? Would need a car looked at probably early next week.

    Thanks,
    David

    P.S. Does anyone know the owner of this car? According to the salesman it is a local car purchased by a serial Ferrari owner who is trading this car in on a 458.

    It was just odd that there was a post of a naked phone number without a person's name or business attached. Made it sound very espionage. Like a secret message box.

    Thanks for your help.

    I saw the car last week that you are looking at. I was talking with Bud Root and saw it in the showroom. It looked nice at first glance, I didn't get too on top of it. My buddy drives by there on his way home if you would like to have someone look at it again. I was not 100% in love with the wing personally. I guess if you like that thing, it would be fine. Paint seemed to match, car didn't look abused.

    Clearly the wing is what makes the car a hard sell. But it does have just about everything else I want in the car -- from polished rims to contrasting seats/interior, to carbon fiber everywhere inside.

    But the wing is something else entirely.

    As of today, the car had a deposit on it pending inspection by an out-of-state purchaser on Friday. I'll find out Friday if it is not sold and if that is the case, I will try to get someone to take a closer look at it for possible purchase next week.

    I had Ryan Noble (R S Imports) do the PPI and some additional work on a 360 I purchased in December. Ryan was great, his prices were very fair, and he went the extra mile to help me out (especially nice when I was all the way across the country part of the time). Everyone in the shop/office was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. If I lived in the area I'd definitely use his shop in the future.
