I am internet shopping for a used 911 and could use some help. My preference is black on black with black rag top. I live in Toronto, Canada and want to get one from a southern state (no road salt) and take a long detour route home. With that in mind, I would be interested in hearing comments/stories about driving 12 hours at a time in a 911?

I have focused on 2000 to 2002 911's with up to 80K miles. I am thinking that part of any purchase would be to have the IMS bearing changed prior to driving it home (at time/part of purchase aggreement). Because of my remote location, I have to rely on pictures, carfax and email correspondence. Is there anyone out there that can help? Also, I do not want to register the car in the US. I will pay duty (6%) and Provincial taxes (13%) when I get back home. Basically my budget is to stay in the low 20's before I get back and face the Canadian 20% tax/fees.

Thanks to all that respond.
