Monitoring oil consumption and checking for blue smoke is part and parcel of owning a Carrera. If a top end hasn't been addressed i factor that into what I'm willing to pay. Same goes for an SC if the head studs have not been addressed. It's common sense.
Wow what are the odds you would go 3/3 and I would go 4/4 and one of the motors was raced...

Rust tends to come from poor collision repair.

Matt: I always chew up my front. Part of a lowered 911 out in the wild.
