I say Ho ho hold on there!!
SC owners don't
dump their cars anywhere!
If you will look in SCWDPI 21-203, it states specifically, that "No owner of a SC will/shall dump their car off because of future repair/maintanance costs.
Well, there it is... can't argue with that!
All 911s have their quirks. It's as simple as that.
SCs are very prone to headstud failure. I would either buy a car that has had them replaced, save a bit of cash for the inevitable, or buy a 912. <--- ZERO headstud problems.
A top end job is not that difficult, and if you have the space and time, you can do it yourself and save an ass load of money.
I did a complete, left nothing to chance, rebuild for just under $6K. The estimates I was getting from wrenches were in the neighborhood of 10-12K!
SCs are great little cars either way.
Notice that Wayne drives an SC, BA speaks very highly of them, my 35yr in the business mechanic owns an SC... shall i go on???
