There are no 20+ year-old cars that will be reliably repair-free. I bought my '83 SC for $13.5K. At that price I should have gotten one with no head stud problems but I was (and still am) an idiot and I did not get a PPI. Therefore, this year I rebuilt the engine.
Each of the roughly two years I have owned the car I have put about $2000 into parts. This is causing the car's effective age to decrease, and that is my goal.
IF you shop carefully, intelligently and patiently, you can find a good 911 for $11K. You may still have to put a few hundred dollars in repair parts into it every year or two. And there is that chance that you could buy one for $9K that needs nothing for a half-dozen years.
I suppose the most important single factor is the Pre-Purchase Inspection.
