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. |

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.

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. |

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!
