p.s Just saw coresellers last post. No pandie wadding here, just an eye-opening, as mentioned before.

If I remember correctly, the instigator of this drives a late model mr2.... Hrmmmmmm

As for op, looks like a great car, I've always loved targas! Hope you snag a good one.

Don't forget about installing a pop-off valve on the airbox. The 3.0L is well known for back firing and blowing the expensive airbox. If the one you are looking at has it already you are set otherwise its a fairly cheap and easy mod.

These are old cars and you can expect little things to come up. Mine got me stuck a couple times in the first few months until I got throught the age related crap.

The exhaust recommendation is a really good one. It really changes to character of the car.

I've considered one of these too. The last time looked prices were way high for these for a decent shape car. If asking price is under 20k buy it and run. Just make sure engine and body is decent. I've seen 30-50k for these cars lately and I've followed 911SC's for awhile. Buy it...

+1 This is same advice that I received from a friend who owns at least 12 air cooled Porsches. He thought the price might be too good to be true.

Coreseller, thanks for the videos!

I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

No problem Tom, Good Luck......

The attention that the air cooled 911's have received over the past couple of years (Magnus Walker, Singer, Rauh Welt Begriff, Drive Channel, etc.) has definitely affected values. Many articles and blogs espousing the Zen-like attributes of whichever pre-996 series can seem to be a bit much and make many eyes roll (mine too), BUT, they are a completely different animal to drive and there's a reason for the aforementioned hype.
