Very nice looking car, sure I recall it being for sale here (and on that very driveway) a few years back when I was looking.

Too much car? Any car can kill you. This car could get you into trouble a lot faster than most others, it's true.

Remember the old saw about it being more fun to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car slow? Lot of truth in that.

You can daily drive a 930 just fine, even a 400HP one - if you can live with the appalling gas mileage and never being able to use a fraction of the performance on public roads. In fact, I believe that all 911's like to be driven frequently, and 930's are no exception.

You seem to be looking for a car to drive. Kudos. The asking price reflects a premium for original condition and mileage. Neither of these are going to improve if you drive it regularly, so that value is just going to go down.

You could buy a car with a lot more miles and put another 30,000 on it without that hurting value as much, in fact any upgrades, properly-performed repairs and maintenance could improve the value.

In Arizona, I can't help thinking I'd be looking for cars with A/C that worked very well. Which pre-'91 911's are not really noted for.
