I guess I'm one of those few individuals who prefer the cheaper the better, the more problems the better and the more troubleshooting the better.
Why you might ask? For me, I like problem solving and taking something no-one else wanted and bringing it back to life. I've done this with my past 5 cars and have not been burned (i.e., lost money) on any of them. Of course, I do my own work and don't count my labour, which I assign a value of zero. I purchased my current '99 986 for $3500 Canadian (5 speed, with 100K miles/160K kms). It runs great! It just needed a new immo&dme.
BUY BUY BUY or PM me with the details so I can buy it.
