Here's my crappy advice.....

Slow down. Take a deep breath. Read these forums for other posts about what to look for. Watch the market for a few weeks. See what pops up, what sits for a while and what sells fast. The chance that this 81 SC in Nebraska with an engine that's never been rebuilt is the deal of a lifetime, is unlikely. DO NOT BUY WITHOUT A PPI, especially if you don't know about these cars. If $30k sounds like a lot of money for a car that works, how does pissing away $20k on a car that doesn't sound? If you can't afford to wait because you need a car right now, then a 35 year old 911 is not the car for you.

And, if you are filthy rich, ignore all the advice above, buy the car, and if it stinks, sell it here for a deep discount and get a different one.

Like I said, my advice is crappy.
