PPI, PPI, PPI and then have the car put through a very comprehensive PPI. It is worth the money!

I drove that car. It has issues. And zero records to boot. I would stay away.

All cars have issues. Were these issues deal breakers or what?

Clutch was very heavy, more so than a well maintained 915. It balked at 3rd gear without double clutching. It smoked a fair bit and the owner said it burned about 1 qt./600 mi. I can't comment on the aftermarket body work. The brakes were very hard with not much pedal travel.

I'm not a Porsche expert but I've driven about a dozen while looking for one. I've owned quite a few cars. My gut tells me this one is trouble. Just my $0.02.

This would make it a deal breaker for me.

thumbs down. just can't be any more clear on this. the car will not wear well and as it sits is only desirable non-porsche people so your market when you sell is going to be extremely limited. further i would NEVER buy an air cooled 911 from a non-Porsche owner because i would have zero faith in proper maintenance/care/driving.

when you take the following terms/phrases:
fiberglass
mods
reliable
get my money back
bondo
fast
vs 740iL
cop owner
jersey
missing fuchs

and you put them into a hat and shake it up the hat will spontaneously combust injuring all within 100yds of it.

Thumbs DOWN

will sell you my 1986 911 coupe with 90k on it, turbo fuchs wheels with near new tires, red black excellent condition, r134 a/c ice cold, $15900.00

FAST in not a good word to use when you buy a Porsche IMO.

It's settled, I'm not going to buy this car!

Thanks to all

Gentlemen, please let me know if there are any white 3.2's out there in this price range....

Wympee can you send me pic's please?

Good call Bob......breathe deep........experienced gained...........move on. Now you are a more knowledgable buyer. Good luck. Post your pics wympee........so we can all have a look.

Any Maryland Porsche guys out there that can"Mentor" me in this 3.2 quest. Any upcoming meets, clubs, etc.......

Please PM me

Thanks!

No surprise at all, that car was a dog, I told ya that way back in Post #13.

Good think you aren't the next sucker to own it.

There's lots of good ones out there, esp. if you have $15K burning a hole in your pocket. Don't waste your time with clapped out beaters like this one.

And buy one from a Porsche guy. Good luck!

Berettafan is the man .... a maryland resident to boot!

Buy a 930. Skip the learning curve and just go for it!

Just emailed you. I'm not the 3.2 expert but anyone who's owned a 911 for a while will be familiar with the vast range of quality out there.

Check the potomac and chesapeake pca websites for get togethers. Surely you'll be able to mooch a ride in a carrera this way. Definitely think the best thing you can do right now is see/ride/drive as many as possible.

Ass engined nazi slot cars farking rock and you will love it when you find the right car!
