So glad to hear that. They trap a lot of people because their purchase value seems so reasonable for what you get.

Had a buddy who worked at the Porsche dealer parts counter.

You would not believe. Uncle Merciless would weep in envy. Mercedes can't come close for ANYTHING on its cars of that era, based on what my friend told me.

EDIT: I forgot the SLS pump on TDs. CC servo gets honourable mention. 'Scuse me.

I love older 911s. Still pricey to fix but you have something that's worth something if kept up.

I always hate to talk people out of nice looking cars, but you made the correct call here 110 percent.
