Hi,
I'm looking to buy my first 911 in a country (Sweden) where there aren't as many candidates as other European places perhaps.
Here's a 3.2 that on the surface looks ok:
http://www.blocket.se/stockholm/Porsche_911_carrera_53782792.htm?ca=11&w=1
However, the big thing that jumped out at me in the listing was "missing service record". It may sound like a dumb question, but is this cause for suspicion? It seems to me anyone sloppy enough not to keep a service record for a car like a Porsche is trying to hide something.
Listing translates as:
porsche 911 carrera -84 3.0
newly painted gloss black
black interior
electric elevators
electric sunroof
100% rust free
lot of new parts
black ceiling (I guess they mean the interior ceiling cloth)
shock absorber
polished moldings etc.
usa import
Not crashed or water damaged
lacks service history
tax-exempt
inspection for 2015-07-01
I also expect that since this is a usa import, it's going to be the ho-hum 207hp instead of the more exciting 231. If I re-chip to an '89 it would I be able to get the full EU hp or would I have to do something more?
Thanks for the advice guys.
Cheers,
David
