To me, personally, for an 80s 911 I prefer a "low/mid" mile car.

I bought one with 30K miles on it, which was a great car, but it was too perfect and the miles were too low for me to feel comfortable driving it, putting it in parking lots, etc. I bought it with the intention of driving it, but I just didn't have the heart to do it.

My current is an 88 that I bought with 72K miles on it. Perfect. I paid what others seem to have been paying for 130K mile cars.

To me, that's the current sweet spot for Carreras. You can still find them in well maintained, original condition with 70-85K miles on them. If you look hard enough, and are able to move quick enough, you can get one for a good price still, and will have a lot of the car's best years/miles to enjoy.
