There is a pattern with sports cars where the price drops to the point where people who cannot afford the cars obtain them. What often follows is deferred maintenance.

This is less of an issue with 911s, a bit moreso, it seems, with 912s.

However, deferred maintenance rarely affects the chassis or accident status, and those aspects are the most important when buying an older 911.

So, no, I don't much care. I just bought my 31st 911 last week, and it appears to have been meticulously kept by one owner. That's nice, but the car presented as one with no prior drama or trauma and that's what closed the deal.

I've noticed that CarFax reports leased cars as some 'other usage' category, which isn't always helpful. You should never assume a CarFax is 100% complete anyway. Look at the car. That's what you're buying.
