When does cost overcome a no issues vehicle?
At what point does vehicle cost outweigh a well sorted with no issues (pre PPI) car? I am faced with a potential purchase of one of two Carreras. One has a pretty low price and a few fairly minor (I think) issues and some unknowns that will likely not be resolved by a PPI and the other which seems well taken care of, looks good, except that its guards red. It has had recent inevitable work: a top end rebuild at 95K miles due to smoking. I would assume valve guides. But damn, I don't know if I would get over the color...
Both vehicles have similar mileage. The less expensive one has a G50. Even though I have no problems with the 915, that tranny sure is smooth.
So, I suspect what many opinions will suggest, but I thought I might raise the questioin anyway.
