Problems: exploding rubber centered clutch, broken head studs, chain tensioners (most people eventually upgrade to the oil-fed Carrera style tensioners), worn tranmission synchronizers, and weak/ineffective A/C. Recommend you obtain a copy of Peter Zimmermann's "The Used 911 Story"; it's a good place to start learning about older 911's. You will definitely want a PPI (pre purchase inspection) done; a Porsche dealership may not be the best choice as the staff may not be familar with this 24 year old model. Sometimes a shop that specializes in older 911's would be better but those may be scarce in South Dakota. These cars can be very expensive if major repairs are required so take your time. Jim
