Look for something older, at $14900? NO!

Don't worry these cars last longer than 20k miles. I'd save my money if you want an 8v, non turbo car. On the other hand, why not pick up a nice S2, or a turbo with that cash, AND have money left over?

$15k is lower 968 terriotory, keep looking!

Keep looking... Ya the mileage is great but it's your first car and we all know what happens to our first cars.

Besides, mileage like that makes me think the car has been sitting for some time. If thats the case, some of the seals and other soft items may be on the dry side. As a result, when you do get the car into daily use, these parts may be your first fails.

Anothe drawback will be the insurance value... You may find that it's difficult to insure the car for its purchased value.

Leave this one for a collector and keep looking for something within your budget.

I agree Andre keep looking. you can get a 951 AND put some really sweet rims on it AND still have money left over for a msds header or test pipe or a stereo system. Think about it.
