ok as per other threads, i'm now watching PH classifieds daily, and starting to look around, but any specific forums or registers worth joining where cars come up for sale privately? or any well thought of dealers who specialise?
cheers

If you're interested in a 964 you'd be well advised to speak to Frank AKA Black Betty over on Rennlist or through the L90 964 owners group on Facebook.
A wealth of information and good cars do change hands under the radar between members.

Best of luck

No Problem good luck. FWIW I had a 993 and as much as it was a good car the 964 I much prefer. Got those lovely classic looks as well the ability to use it everyday if you wanted to.

They also have a huge following through various online groups

Based on current pricing that should have been a lot closer to £40k

Assuming its had the usual £5k of stuff done and no HPI stories

Lol a dealer would have picked that up within an hour of it being posted.....

Contact the well known specialists and register your interest, there are 3 or 4 well known / respected JZM, 911 Virgin, etc.....

911uk but members cars on there tend to go very quickly as well.

Hadnt had a lot done in terms of suspension and engine as it hadnt needed anything according to owner. Potentially might have needed a bit spending but looked cheap

the above keep catching my eye!


seen a few higher mileage cars advertised tho (964 possibly) with mention of top end rebuilds as though its expected above 100k miles, is there generally a need and is it any particular engine?

Slush boxes are great when you have silly power, but on a 993 or a 964 unless its a daily I wouldn't bother

Depends what you're looking for.

For manual cars, 964s are 5 speed, 993s are 6 speed.

its almost certainly gonna have to be a 993 6 speed C2 now i've spent all week looking. its just grown on me. unfortunately it appears everyone is after the same car including all the dealers.
