Wow, 70+ Evo's inventory! Goodluck on the sale and bump for you

 

Damn. Called a while ago and the receptionist said Mark would be out a couple weeks? Who would I talk to to get this deal when I drive in today or tomorrow, Mark?

 

just send me a pm if you guys have any question and i will be happy to answer all your questions from home let me know guys.....

 

Did mine come in yet Mark? I'm guessing not yet.

 

I'll be on my way in about 2 hours. See you guys there in Costa Mesa around 5:30 PM .

 

Mark drove mine to the terminal, which was a savings of $160 if DAS picked it up there.

Avoid DAS if you can (IMHO) I know people who have had a good experience with them, but mine was brutal. Lies and delays.....the ultimate insult was floor mats stolen out of the trunk of the car; and who knows what goes on with your car as it sits for days on end waiting for a truck in some wrecking companys lot..

 

I just called work today and they recieve 30 Evo GSR today....if you want to pick up one let me know send me a msg so i can set you up an appointment....

Thank You

PS no MR and SSL yet still waiting..........

 

Mark - it's chris from Vegas. Looks like i'll have to put the evo on hold for a few months I'm trying to straighten out my credit first so i can get a better interest rate. I'm still coming to you go get an evo - it's just going to take a little longer

 

Mark PMed you. Ready to go ahead with the deposit and paperwork. Let me know what I need to do.
-Minh

My car finally started moving again this afternoon after sitting in their Texas facility since last Thursday. Mind you, this is after sitting at their Carson California lot for over a week...

I've had to make numerous phone calls, and while polite, not one of their Customer Service Reps really knows anything. Plus, it seems like their main job is to get you off the phone as quickly as possible - each and every time I spoke with them they promised to call me back with more info, and each and every time it was me that had to call them back.

To this date, I still have no idea what the hold-up was.

Of course, even though the truck's moving again, they're telling me that it still has numerous stops to make before it arrives in Pittsburgh (where it'll be brought up to me), so they're not anticipating the actual delivery date until May 16th, a full week later than their original date (which I was assured when I placed the order was at the very outside, and I should be actually receiving the car sooner than that).

Really kind of sad that this is right before I have to make my first car payment on a vehicle I've never even seen yet...

As goforwand said, I'd definately avoid DAS if I was doing it all over again, and look at some other shipping company (look for reviews at Epinions or How We Rate for some alternate choices.

 

DAS has some pretty bad feedback from the porsche forums too

Intercity seems to be the #1 option for porsche people (but they aren't cheap either)

 

mark, thanks for the reply a few days back. but gillman mitsu of houston did match your price but $1000 more. more like $34k for the mr. the expense of travel and the additional CA tax made me decide to take their GGP MR. contact person is Ken Tong.

 

I sold my 03 to a guy in mississippi and used white auto transport, a small transport company out of the midwest. he was awesome to deal with, met me at a convenient spot and appeared to be one to take real good care of the car. if you want a number, pm me if you are buying a new car from south coast anytime soon. we looked into das, and they were a few$$ cheaper, but sitting in a wrecking yard lot for up to 2 weeks was not an option that we wanted to explore.
cost us $800 to haul from boise idaho to jackson miss. took 9 days from setup to get the car picked up and 7 days to get the car back east, which was exactly as promised.

 

Did you purchase the Guaranteed Transit Time for $150? If not, then DAS just tells you an estimated time and it's subject to change. I know it sucks that you have to wait longer and that their customer service should be better, but you can't do anything, so don't let it stress you out too much.

 

I would have purchased it had I known such a thing existed. No one at DAS ever offered it, nor even let me know they had such a service.

It just seems that they're a very poorly run organization (which would account for some people having no problems with them, and others having nothing but).

This inconsistency is one of the main issues with them that would prevent me from ever recommending them to others.
