First Time Porsche Buyer
i'm looking at purchasing my first 911. It is a White 1985 911 Coupe with 86,000 miles. The car is located in Houston, TX and I am located in Philadelphia.
Firstly- does anybody know of a mechanic that I can hire in the Houston area to inspect the car for me? Second- what types of service should be performed as soon as i get it? Costs? Third- Any other advise for this year of porsche? Thanks |

There are lots of pretty good shops. Eurocar Werks and Protechnik know a lot. Eurocar Werks is central, and Protechnik is in the SW area.
I'm a newbie, too. So, I don't have much to say on #2 and #3. I'll say that you should replace all fluids if the previous owner doesn't give you proof that it was all done recently. Your mechanic can tell you if it needs a tune-up or if it has any problems that need attending to. Other guys will chime in with much more helpful info, I'm sure!
