Paul & Andy, its not that I really had my heart set on a SC.I was sort of looking at the later model Carrera's. This car so happens popped up and had all the upgrades.There is alot of reward to bolting individual components and feel the seat of each upgrade.

You find yourself starting at one price point in the range of a SC and think if a major mechanical incident occurs I'll kick myself thinking I could have just bought a later year/lower mileage Carrera or Paul mentioned, 993 or even a RS America.

Andy, the two mechanics I spoke with were Porsche mechanics. One was an independent and other a dealer. I should elaborate more on the freshen up thing.They both said a visual inspection .Possibly replace valve springs/keepers and replacement of the head studs. I didn't know they used this engine configuration for the 935. That statement says alot.

I guess I'm having first time Porsche purchase jitters and looking for a little hand holding and direction from you guys. I'll have a PPI done and take it from there.

I really appreciate all of your responses,insights and experienced opinions.
