The older cars have some specific engine problems that can occur early in their life- under 50 000 mi. I 've read in Excellence, a Porsche- specific magazine, that one should buy them with something like 50 000 mi. or more. Slipped piston liners and porous engine blocks comes to mind. When it comes to options, most seem to value the factory HID headlights- litronics and while these can be added at a later date, the self- levelling option can't be. I think if you search long enough you'll find a real creampuff. One with mint seats, roof, tires and paint. You'll know it when you see it. Also, prices seem to be lowest in Texas.

Yep, I have to get the levelling kit now as my lintronics are definitely misaligned. I wish I knew how to manually align them temporarily. I live in Texas and everything is cheaper than pretty much any other U.S. location I travel to...
