PPI - Baltimore area

[geoff]

Really a generic question, but since it's for an '03 996, I figured I would ask in this forum and hopefully others might see and respond

Yesterday a friend who lives in the Baltimore area called and asked me what I thought about an '03 Carrera he saw on a dealer lot. It's a manual, about 35K miles, priced in the low $30Ks, two owner car. I told him about potential IMS problems and said if he's interested to definitely get a PPI. The first owner had the car until earlier this year, the second owner had it for a few months, then traded it in on some sport bikes, so it's almost a one owner car. My friend doesn't know anything about Porsches since the past 20+ years, but is mechanically adept and has some Corvettes. I also told him there are tons of cars out there, and if it's not perfect to just walk away.

Any recommendations for a good mechanic - dealer or independent - somewhere about BWI airport that could take a look at the car and provide a qualified opinion on whether to buy or walk?
