Hey all!
Still on my search to acquire my first porsche and once again looking to enlist the help of all you seasoned veterans.
Here's the car in question:
1989 Porsche 911 carrera 4 Coupe-REDUCED | cars & trucks | Sudbury | Kijiji
Talked to the seller and the car has never had any problems and can still be driven in current codition. There are a couple dents so they took the car apart to do a proper repaint but got side tracked with a 2002 project which is eating up funds.
I'm fortunate enough to have a shop (my dad restores old trucks) and feel like this could be a way to get a mechanically sound 964 with lower miles while learning the ins and outs of the car. The seller has all new body gaskets (?) and everything to put the car back together.
The seller says there's never been rust and everything is mint, all that would have to be done is dent repair, sanding, and repainting. The car is 9 hours away so I'm debating if it's worth the trip to look at the car; let alone to bring a trailer for it.
This is a car I plan on holding onto for years to come and working on it myself so resale value isn't a big deal. I'm in no rush to get a car but with prices slowly rising I feel this might be a good way to sidestep inflation while building the exact car I want.
I'm just curious to hear what the consensus on the difficulty of a project like this and if it's even worth it.
Thanks in advance!
Geoff
