Keep looking? |
Oh yea, keep looking. There are lots of them out there. Patience is the key to finding a good one. It took several months of active looking to find mine and I was willing to buy out of state so I cast a wide net. Keep an eye on the classifieds here on 986, CL, Excellence magazine, your local PCA classifieds, talk to Porsche mechanics(they may know of one for sale), AutoTrader, cars.com, and sometimes even ebay. You will know when you find the "right" one. Good luck
