There is always a good selection of cars out there. Paging through auto trader and ebay shows nearly 75 cars around the country for sale in the 1987 to 89 911 markets. Now thats targa, cab and coupe but there are always cars around. As others have mentioned dont rule out a 915 car, lets face it they made a heck of a lot more 915 cars so the thing must have worked pretty well.

Sloan does not have all the cars he lists and he does not really deal in the 25k and under market much. Tim Holt only buys the cream of the crop stuff and he rarely buys from the west coast. The socal market is always a hot bed of cars. As far as Victory goes, they buy a lot of slop and then they shine em up and hope you don't dig too deep into the car. If you do a search of my posts on them I have a vile distaste for their business practices too.

I agree with those who gave you the heads up to get out there and drive a bunch, nothing you can do will help you narrow down what you like and teach you more about the individual models then seeing, touching and driving them.


BTW I have found that Pilots are usually good guys to buy cars from as they know the value of keeping their machines in proper working order. Just picked up a 1996 993 TT from one last week.

Good luck !

A search of "any distance" on Auto trader for 1987 to 1989 Porsche 911's turned up 112 cars granted some of those are late 1989 964 C4's and not the Carrera you're looking for.
