I went through a similar search, taking well more than a year to find my '89 Carrera Coupe, which I finally purchased last August. Obviously, the market moved against me during that time, but the search process was valuable.

Personally, I think you might need to rethink your budget or revise your expectations/requirements for your car. From what I found, quality G50 coupes will sell mid to high $40s. I found several in the low $40s that all needed "something". And lots of decent 915 coupes available in the mid to high $30s. That's not to say that you can't find a steal if you look hard enough, but that was the general price range I found.

I ultimately made the decision to pay up for a very clean, unique color (Diamond Blue Metallic), 2-owner (PCA) car with documentation back to '91 (when seller purchased it). Car had just received a $4500 service to prepare it for sale. I did not get a "great deal" but felt I paid a fair price for both seller and me.

My suggestion would be to buy the best car you can afford. If your budget is more towards the 915 Coupe range, then buy the best 915 Coupe you can find rather than settle a mediocre G50 Coupe. The 915s are solid cars.

Good luck with the search!
