Financing older cars

I'm trying to line up some financing for either a 95' 993 or a 89' 964. Anyone know of a good lending institution that would finance such a car?

TIA

I know this isn't the answer to your question, but consider it.

The 964 should not run you more than $20K, the 993 really no more than high-20s. I don't mean this in a bad way, but considering parts/service on these cars, if you can't come up with that much cash, you can't realistically afford the car.

I don't think that's necesarly true. I use to work for a Porsche dealership and still can get deals on parts and the mechanics will work on my car outside of work. And I thought these cars were fairly reliable to begin with.

home equity loan? You get a tax write off and lower interest than an auto loan.

Of course you have to own a home and have equity and i don't know your situation. Just putting out some other ideas.

Try a local credit union, they usually will finance the older cars. If you were in california I could refer you to a couple of ones. Good Luck!!!

A '95 993 with fairly average miles can be found in high-20s...you see them advertised for more $$$, but what they're adv. as and how much they change hands for are two different #s.

You are right. I have seen plenty 95's for 25-29 with ok miles. Most 993 owners price their cars way too high and either take a lot less or sit on them forever.

There are plenty of places that will finance

I was in the same boat a few weeks ago looking for mine.
I ended up in a 95 with 70k miles for 27. Car was in GREAT shape, good PPI, etc.

I found financing through capitol one, bank of america, usaa, and a few others. Interest was anywhere from 6% and up, most were less tahn 12%





that said, I had some lady pull out in front of me in my week old baby so I'm now waiting on repairs. Haven't even had it long enough to make a payment!
