Well, I did it...Got my first 911

I went and test drove the Carrera. Fantastic shap! No smoke, no leaks, interior like new. Absolutly too good to be true. I bought it and drove the hour and a half back home at speeds up to triple digits. Perfect! The car will need the hood painted due to rock chips and it has a small ding in the drivers door. Other than that it is like new. The wheels were a mess but they cleaned up real easy with wheel cleaner and a bit of mothers aluminum polish.
Man I love this car!

1987, 45K miles, $16,900...............

Now that's a bargain

Keep in mind what these cars cost new and what that equates to in todays dollars. No, there not as refined as new cars but the classic coolness and build quality is there to stay.

Enjoy, and welcome to the board.

Now take it to a DE or AX and learn to drive it!!!

Don't let these coupe owners hold you down - Targas rule.

Sweet ride at an even sweeter price... I was looking for a Targa to replace my Peugeot Cab... ended up with a coupe.

Welcome & enjoy the car!

PS. It looks like the car is riding pretty high... I think most people here lowered their cars to Euro height (a bit lower than US height). Not that there is anything wrong with the US height... but it just looks cooler when it is a bit lower.

Thats an amazing deal! Congrats! Did you make your list of things to do yet? I had one about 25 lines long the day I got mine!

Congratulations.

Word of advice: " The car will need the hood painted due to rock chips " DON'T DRIVE SO DAMN FAST!!
