The 911 "E" is a wonderful car, but do yourself a favor and lift up all of the carpets, move the seats all the way back and then forward and look for rust or soft spots. Make sure the mechanical injection can still be adjusted and that the fuel pump and stacks don't need rebuilding. Look for turbo tie rod ends and carrera chain tensioners, both make a big difference in the reliability and feel of the car. Jens is correct in everything that he said. One test you can do on the fender wells is check to make sure that the wells are rough in feeling. This will indicate an original fender... usually. If the rear ones are smooth, they have, most likely, been replaced. Run a check on the engine, vin, trans, and any other numbers you can get, to make sure it is authentic. "E"s are great cars... don't buy one of those and get a good fake. Good luck with your purchase, but check out what you are buying very carefully... they are wonderful cars if you get the right one.
