Welcome to Pelican. You're in the right place here for sure.

As others have already said, there is no correct "timeframe" to complete an acquisition of your 911.

That was my story...the first time I declared an intent to buy an old Porsche my wife was decidedly against it. She saw me constantly looking at 911s on internet classifieds. A year or so later (after we had recently bought a new daily driver...hers), I went to look at a '78 911 turbo for sale at a local used car lot. It was a real roach. My wife asked me "did you even test drive it" - "no" I said "it's a piece of crap...not interested". Then she responded "well I guess the search continues". That was all I needed to hear...my '79 930 was in my garage a month or so later.
