Probably been done to death but I'm thinking of buying a 911.
I'm 27 years old, sadly just had my 4.2 v8 a6 written off and in the market for a car.
Coupled with a significant pay rise I'm seriously considering going for a 911.
However, a few years back I bought a boxster.. and immediately had to replace a rad, then later the clutch, DMF and RMS
not happy times.
Looking to spend no more than £17k really, thinking a facelift 996 c2 should be easily in budget (not sure about a 4 or S in either variant). But, what sort of things should I look out for when looking? Is there a decent buyers guide someone can link? RAC inspection, any point in having this done?
Also, some have the aero/gt3 body kits attached, sure no extra performance but I do quite like the look, whats the general opinion? all show and no go? a bit boy racer?
My commute (if I have to go to the office) is 10-15 mins in traffic no more than 50mph mostly 30, is it really an every day car? I'll be making frequent trips up the M27 and back (probably once or twice a week) just under 100 miles, how much fuel can these things get through? my v8 was LPG so wasn't too bad!
Ideally looking to get an idea of what to look for when buying, common issues and things I should check.
Thanks in advance
