I've waited a couple years to write this review; I wanted to see how the car would do over time since the first few months after purchase were not pleasant. The car in question is a 2002 Porsche Carrera. I had it delivered to my home in California. After driving it less than 20 miles the airbag light came on. I called Autohaus and was told to take it to a dealer, which I did.
The dealer, in Riverside Ca. brought me to the car on the lift and pointed out serious mechanical and safety issues with the Porsche. The two rear tires were worn down to the actual steel belts. The front rotors were worn. It was leaking from the cam covers. It needed a new ignition switch. The windshield was scratched due to completely worn out wipers. And, there were other issues. We took pictures for documentation. I was told that the vehicle was not safe to drive. The dealer contacted Autohaus who then told me to have the car sent back to them. I was told a new employee had prepped my car. It did look OK when it was shipped to me.
To their credit, Autohaus addressed the most serious issues and returned the car to me. I took the car for a smog inspection. I was told that the monitors in the car were not set. After five or six attempts, including going to the referee program, it passed - happily - because catalytic converters are $2000 a piece. It has subsequently passed smog with no problems.
The main reason I'm writing this review is to alert prospective purchasers of a Porsche to obtain a PPI (Pre-purchase inspection) Had I done this, much anxiety could have been avoided.
Would I purchase another Porsche from Autohaus? Yes, but I absolutely would have a PPI with the car on a lift. It is now a great car.
