I bought my 1st Porsche in '98 sight unseen.
'81 SC Targa.
Paid $10.5K
Wasn't that bad of a deal. Had a few mechanical issues down the road but with over 100K miles wasn't too surprised.
I didn't complain then and won't now.
I learned a lot from working on that car.
Even tracked it at several tracks in the Southeast.
Sold her a couple summers ago to free up space....
