Age vs Mileage
Discussion
Starting to look through the ads for a new car and the 911 (an early 996 Turbo to be precise) is on the shortlist. I've already gleaned much wisdom from this forum, but a quick question to the members please:
Given the choice of a low mileage (say 20k) model a couple of years older than a higher mileage (say 50k) car, both more or less the same price, which would you choose? When do the first big bills start coming in and is it age or mileage that starts the problems?
Thanks.

Can I answer with neither?
I'd say go with your gut feel on the general condition wear/tear on the car. The 996 Turbo has a derivation of the GT1 engine block that is also used in the GT2/GT3 which is pretty much bullet-proof, so 20K/50K shouldn't matter so long as it has been serviced correctly.
