This is a gamble for sure, I bought a 1998 Guards Red 986 base for less than 6,500.00 and knew it had some issues. I have worked on it and had it worked on for 3 months now, IMS Guardian Sr., a/c lines rebuilt, new motor mount, new CLU, new key, rims repainted, mirrors repainted, re-cycled trunk order, new spare tire soon to be ordered, I may have forgotten a few minor things. The car is finally looking good ad it does drive awesome, but I have spent around 2k plus on it so far! But I do love te car!

Sounds like your total investment is only $8500 that doesn't sound like too much of a gamble to me. Like I said, even if I have to dump 5k into this thing and its running great. It sure beats spending 18K on a car and having to put 2k into it.
