BBC Posted 16February, 2015 Report Share Posted 16February, 2015 Yes, agreed about the PPI as indispensable part of the process. Been phoning a few PPI service providers as kindly suggested by the members here. I quite like the sound of Spencer Harrison (HarrisonRRR), thanks Hugh, even though he seems to be the most expensive. Very helpful. I am a little taken aback by the embellishment of the claimed $14K re-build in the ad. It means the engine is 205,000KM old and not 18,000KM old if a full rebuild actually took place. A big difference when pricing it. Thanks for pointing that out PeterM and Coastr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking to whoever does your PPI after they have had a chance to look at the logbooks and invoices will give you an idea of when you are likely up for big money. If you are not using it as a daily driver and only traveling a few thousand km a year, it might be another decade or two before it is really worn out!Also, these things are 20 years old now so there will be some risk associated with ownership, even after a good PPI and irrespective of the dealers reputation. But nothing ventured, nothing gained!Good luck!Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike737 Posted 17February, 2015 Report Share Posted 17February, 2015 What do you guys think of this? http://www.carsales....D-3258380/?Cr=1 Was just about to post that one. Engine bay needs a clean up, but looks about the right price for the condition. Always have loved white SC's with 2 tone Fuchs and they work well with the tail.

SimonR Posted 17February, 2015 Report Share Posted 17February, 2015 Not to me either Hang in there, it took me nine months of hard looking and everyone keeps telling me how lucky I was to find a car so quickly! Don't be afraid to go and look at, and drive crap ones too. It makes it so much clearer when you do find a good car to have that comparison, it'll give you more confidence to move quickly.

Peter M Posted 17February, 2015 Report Share Posted 17February, 2015 It's gone 43k subject to PPIrminc,Suggest you leave your contact details with the seller just in case the current purchaser has issues with finance, getting his wife's permission or is scared off by the PPI etc.Long shot I know but has happened before with a white 911 well known on these pages! hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
