Hey guys,
Was thinking of test driving this car but after viewing the free CarFax provided with some repairs that the previous owner did, was wondering if anyone can give me some info about other issues I would encounter with this high milage car. ? I already know to be on the look-out for the 2nd gear pop out during slow driving, anything else? Looking to but my 1st 911, but on a budget <30k would be nice.

Here's the link, thank you in advance

link is not working anymore , is this the silver one in a Santa Monica dealer ? I think called budget ? if it is I checked it out , had a few issues.
1- rear wing doesnt work
2-turn signal lever doesnt lock
thats what I noticed right away , i did drove the car felt good but then I didnt dove it for that long .

 

Ive heard more than a few stories about guys buying cars that they can afford but cant afford the maintenance. Most of these stories are guys are buying Ferrari's and literally having to walk away from the car.
Thats the great thing about Porsche, if you are patient and find a good one through service records and PPI it doesnt have to cost you that much to own, but do yourself a favor and be patient and find a good one, not just one that fits your budget. My cars PPI was done at a Porsche dealer. It was so comprehensive they even told my that the cup holder deployed too slowly! Worth ever dime, so no surprises.
Even better if you can wrench on your own, for example i just fixed my hydraulic wing for $20 and 2 hours of my time....

Good luck on the search.

 

Have you seen mine in the classifieds section? I'm asking more than 30k, but it may suit your needs in the long term, as it's been maintained properly:
