Hi,
I'm after some advice and opinions please. I've read this forum for years now but as every year that passes a find an excuse not to buy a 911. Now that's got to sound wrong, I mean at first I had babies so sorting seats was hard now they older its squashing them in (been used to range rovers). So it's going to just have to be a weekend you but seen as I work so many hours it's not going to get much use. There are other cars as fast and more practical.
But the 911 is a 911 so others don't compare!
Enough off my life story! I just going to bite the bullet and get one, then see what happens with regards to use.
So my issue is do I get a 80-90k 997.1 that's had a rebuild already or a 50k one which hasn't and try avoid having the issues?
I know bore scoring is a low % of the cars but I do have to factor it in, yes the 997.2 might be a better buy in some people's opinion but I arnt stretching to the budget for the odd time it might get drove.
Seems cheap.

Sorry can't see the one with the rebuild now but you get my point.
Lastly I'm drawn towards manuals as that's what sports cars have (hope that doesn't offend anyone just my opinion but an r8 auto I had changed my mind a bit) but am I missing something not having the auto?
