There is some update that the early G50 (87-88) had to have done. I think it was the throw-out bearing. Aside from that a solid hx is good. I have an 89 Carerra I bought new in 90. Love the car. I have 80K on it now and have not had any problems. Just change the oil every 3K, dealer has done the 15 and 30 K checks. The car runs like it did 13 years ago...maybe better actually. I have not done any mods although I always consider the SSI, just have not done it yet. As for the g50 v the 915. I love the G50. I traded in my 86 Carerra coupe for my Targa. The reason was for the trani. The clutch is soo much smoother and liner. I never remember feeling much of a difference from my 86 and my 67 S. The G50 is better IMHO. I would look for an 89 though. The 89 had a few nicer things like alarm and wider wheels that make a nice visual diff, and the price seems to be near the same for all three years. Good luck
