911's

[scottH]

At last, I've found a site that has useful information - from what i can tell !!!

I know that it's probably been covered before, and feel free to tell me to look through the pages if it has but...

..I really want a 911. The problem is that apart from talking to people who want to sell me one, or reading in WHSmiths, I have found it difficult to find answers.

I am ideally looking for a 911 around the £12k mark - from looking around I figure this will get me a nice '87ish 3.2.

however,
(1)I want to use the car for everyday use, circa 12miles pa. - is this a stupid idea for a car of this age?
(2) what's all this G50 speak - some say that its best to go for a car with the G50 gearbox, others say that it doesn't really make that much difference.
(3) If it is used as a main car - is the bank manager going to be writing me letters?

(4) What should I be looking for when looking at the cars? I know that an inspection by a specialist is a must however there must be a few tell tale signs which say 'walk away'

i'd better write too much more however, it would be appreciated if someone could spend 5 mins pointing me in the right direction.

If it matters, i'm in the Gloucestershire area so anything local is even better.

Thanks and merry christmas

What about actually using the car as a main car i.e approx 12-13 k pa? or is it best to have purly as a 2nd car?
