There appear...

Thanks for this info. I'm starting to hear this from numerous people.

The good news, due to budget the car I choose will definitely be a 996, not a 997. If I can save $3-5K, I can live with funky...

I'm curious about replacing the IMS bearing in a 996 or 997, since I've begun researching these generations of 911s.

I've been reading a lot about this repair, including articles that say an...

Thanks to the last two posters.

As I stated at the outset of this thread, I tend do a lot of reseach on a major purchase like this, a lot of due diligence, and never pull the trigger quickly. I...

Nope, no hand-holding at all. I prefer straight talk, unvarnished truth. I'm asking the question merely because several folks in another one of my threads told me that the early aircooled powerplants...

Gemni, Greats words of advice. I don't mind bumping up to $30K, with probably another $5-10 going into the vehicle after purchase, but that would be the absolute top for me. I'm curious why you say...

Makes sense. 1975. Now that's an old vehicle.

In terms of chassis and handling, is it pretty much the same on the older cars and the G50?

The 915 tranny doesn't concern me at all. I'm not that finicky.

Will these engines run out to 200K if well maintained? I've heard they're real workhorses.
