As they say Adam, "you only go around once"! I get the feeling your deadset on another 911 and with the 15K you can do quite well. Since you are in Memphis try the Atlanta market as its the second largest in the USA and you'll find generally better cars because of the year-round weather here.

I too owned both several 911's and a 944 over 35+ years of Porsche ownership. I can proudly say that I sold my 1985.5 944 to my mechanic with 345,000 miles on it with only a head gasket replacement and no tranny work. Of course just about everything else was replaced at least twice, but the 944 was a worthy car. Sadly, great examples are hard to find and the cost of maintenance parallels the 911's. I would not think AC is a worry in Canada as it is here, but lets keep in mind that the 911 AC systems suck anyways, at least in the older cars. Focus on the mechanicals.

So, consider the investment return on a 911 over the years to the ever depreciating value of water pumpers these days as well. You'll probably do better in the long term on return with a 911. If you did go with the water pumper, the 944S or 968 are great cars. Personnally, I would avoid the 924 and 928.

The fact is Adam, you love 911's and the dreaded disease has taken hold! Once a 911 driver, always a 911 driver. Its a love-hate relationship with a 911 and always has been, but what a thrill to drive! So what are you waiting for? Pick a good one.

Good luck
