Alfisti, thanks. Sounds like you found a nice one, congrats!

Mine is an 84, bought it with 83k miles on her, I've put about 1,200 on her in two months, so you have me beat. My tail (and air dam) are factory. Really wasn't looking for arrest me red, but PO took good care of her, good records, some nice enhancements, and a reasonable price. Compared to my 914, a much more refined and more powerful car, but I have to admit the 914 has appeal as she is a go-cart and a blast to drive in the twisties. Anyway, don't want to hijack your thread...

Congratulations, it's a beauty. I bought my 1987 Carrera Targa when it was 10 years old and pushing 100,000 miles. It is just about to turn 200,000 miles and until recently all I've done is have the valves adjusted regularly and change the oil. I did recently have a stalling problem which was a complete bummer! I was so used to the car being 100% reliable! I finally tracked it down to the DME under the drivers seat. I got a rebuilt & upgraded one from Systems Consulting in Manhattan Beach and it's back to running like a new car. I don't know if the DME is one of those inevitable fixes, but it is a relatively cheap fix if you get a rebuilt one. Also, I didn't know it but they upgrade the chip to a 1989 which is a noticeably better chip.
