RC911 said:thanks guys, will let you know how it goes, will be swapping my 997.2 for it as I just dont use it as much as I would like
wozy said:180K miles? .......... barely run in .
In all seriousness, if she's had decent service history, drives straight, brakes straight, vin and service book match, she doesn't smoke, she hasn't horrendous rot and the money's right <£32K, it wouldn't bother me in the least.
Mileage really shouldn't be a judgement on these cars. I've seen some awful <70K mileage 911s in my time.
OPC Tewkesbury has a tip for sale at the moment with just shy of 50K miles under her belt. She's up for the super value price of £72K lol. ....... and I could see surface rust on the lower near side front cill.
A lot of the expensive items to replace on these cars are as much age related rather than how many miles the beasty has done. :thumb:

I'd totally echo Wozy here. I purchased my 993 at a mileage of 150k. Now, I got mine for a song knowing nothing had been done and it would require at least 10k sort (minor OCD has made this a lot more though- just depends on how far gone you are!). Let me clear though, I've done that work over a few years as and when the money tree grows back. So that's always a viable route.
So unless you want to be unloading that sort of dosh just make sure suspension, oil return tubes, lower cam covers, exhaust (as per Wozy's recent thread that's 3-4K for a proper job) etc etc. The cars not going to be perfect and god knows I doubt many 993s would be without a nut & bolt resto. It will probably leak a small amount of oil but that's par for the course. If you can satisfy yourself that the nastier bills have been sorted; a purchase price of early 30s would be a good buy. I'd hold out for a manual in which case mid 30d for that sort of mileage is realistic.
And if it breaks you can always just look at it. Just ask the garage queens!

Wow, that looks great.
I think I probably need to seriously re-assess what mine is worth based on that price! :sad: :sad:
