Mako1985,
I was in the same position as you. Found a 99 base for $5k. Not aware of any indy Porsche repair places in the area. Bought it, and no sooner did I get it home, the trouble started. In the shop now and so far I am up to $5200 in repairs. When it's all said and done, I will get my $10k worth of pleasure out of it.
This makes up for the 1966 912 I bought back in 1997 for $2500 from a pot-head. Invested <$2k in it and still driving it like I stole it!
