I'm flying to Rochester NY and looking at this
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-cars-sale/996616-1986-911-carrera-coupe.html tomorrow.
Unfortunately, every mechanic in the area who is qualified to have any opinion is solidly booked. That time of year.
I'm somewhat experienced in diagnosing weird sounds, vibrations, etc. on cars, motorcycles, etc. in general so I'm going anyways. I would be forever grateful if any of you could tell me if anything on this car is egregiously wrong? I'm not familiar with, e.g., spotting a fan off a 912 or wheel flares from a 996 or something like that. Seller gave me permission for you all to pick apart his car.
I would also be far, far more heartbroken if the body was a frankencar than if the car needed major engine work. (Also: looking for a good driver's car; this car will never see a car show.)
