I too recently bought a cheap 01 986 for about 4900$ in Los Angeles. I’m a pretty confident mechanical enthusiast & was fairly prepared for something that wasn’t going to be easy. Turns out I had to replace the variocam pads which involves pulling the valve covers and removing the cams. Was a doable job but was tough, took a lot of time and patience, and excellent instructions from [mention]TTGator [/mention] .
I would say this. A cheap porsche is only a deal if you have the desire to get your hands dirty and spend long hours diagnosing problems.
If you’re looking for a daily driver porsche that you only want to do basic work on (plugs, oil, cosmetics) then I would probably look in the 6K to 7K range and finding a car that was well taken care of.
The 3-5K range in CA is mostly cars that have been abused and need lots of love.
