a few 911 thoughts.

The best place for getting a REALLY really good used 911 is from an internet forum member of this marque and model who is well respected and and well known, and has a good reason to reluctantly let go of his prized vehicle and wants it to go to a caring owner..

Those places have people that truly cherish their cars and keep them up beautifully and adore them but stil drive them all the time.. And other forum members may evaluate the cars for you ( have actually done it personally to assist would be purchasers that were sincere )

The knowledge is legendary on those places.

The old 911s, the air cooled ones, are so iconic. So timeless. I love hearig that throaty rasp of their engine.

You'll be buying into a lifestyle in a way.

They drive differently too.

I'd love to own a '66 one myself..

The old adage -- "Buy the very best condition one you can find, even if it costs more, -- the cheapest one always costs the most in the end" -- still adheres.

Good luck
