Hello everyone!
As the title says, I am planning my pre-owned Porsche purchase. I am looking for a 930 turbo or a 964 turbo. I will however be very happy with a 993 as well. I LOVE the wide body look. I have started to look around on the classifieds on line (autotrader.com, ebay motors, etc...) to get an idea as far as price of these fine cars is concerned. I have found several nice deals on several cars, but I have noticed that a lot of these cars have very high mileage...(100K +).
My first couple of questions:
1) Does high mileage really matter on these cars? I have seen/been told that these cars are meant to be driven, and they perform their best even at the high mileage mark.
2) When I am ready to make the purchase, (in about 1 year), I will definitely have a PPI by a certified Porsche mechanic prior to finalizing any deal. That being said, is there anything I should be looking at myself, any specific warning signals/red flags to indicate if the car I am thinking about is a good deal vs a no-go?
I am quite the novice at this, but I am doing the research on these cars to prepare me as best as possible so I won't be going into the deal as a complete novice. I know that older cars may have their issues, and I am ok with that...I just don't want to make any serious mistakes which may cost me a fortune later on.
Thanks for your time and advice!!!
