[nahoj911]

I've been looking for a 911. Initially I was pretty much open to any 911 from an early SC to 993. After seeing a lot of junk and missing out on some nice cars, I've started to look at early 996's. My budget is around $30k and there are plenty of cars to choose from, with 99's to be had around $25k. Are all the horror stories regarding faulty engine cases, RMS leaks and junk engines true? None of the cars advertised indicate that they have replacement engines. Please give me some input on what year to buy on my budget, mileage where engine is "safe" to keep on running and other pittfalls with these cars.

Thank you!
