Buying Advice & Tips for 997 Gen1
Discussion
Well I am in the early stages of looking, my budget in mind is for 997 Gen 1 or very late 996 C4S. Hence my request for advice. Preference at moment is 997 as better looking.
I have read some up on the engine issues but if they were that bad I would have thought the adverts of cars would show rebuilds for nearly all of them, like TVR has with its Speed 6 engines.
I always look for good service history of the car, as this is a key indicator of how the car had been looked after. Plus if buying private its interesting to see the owner, as this to can give a good impression of how the car is treated.

I did speak to a local specialist at the weekend, as part of my continued research and his comments where if he didn't know the car or I know the car well that it should have a scope inspection.
So if I do pursue a 997 then this is a cost of scoping I will need to factor in.
I guess I won't need to do this with a very late 996 or would I?
