hi guys,
looking for a bit of help.
i always thought a 911 would be out of my budget but i drove past a car which i am inerested in buying but i havent a clue about porsche prices, problems, stuff to look out for.

its a 98 on an r plate tiptronic s. got 79k miles and the guy is looking for £25000. it generally looks ok but as i said, i dont really know what i am looking for.

i am wondering if there is any knowledgable folk close to me that could have a look it for me????

i live in Airdrie, scotland

thanks

Hi Mate

Sounds expensive to me, but don't know what model it is.

Have a look at these and compare.

cheers, does seem a bit expensive compared to those.

Looks nice, still think it's expensive though(C2)

Obviously you have to look at panel damage and different shades of paint.

Check the gaps, look at the side from an angle, check (the doors usually for ripples), all lights sit properly.

The exhaust tips look weird (maybe normal)

Search this sight for RSM, MAF and Tiptronic.

I'm not a fan of standard cars looking like halo models, but it does look clean (not sure what interior you have!)

The engine should rev easily and the brakes should be strong.

You will have one year Porche warranty available at about £900 if you are worried about anything major going wrong.

There's probably a whole lot more, but this is not an area of my expertise.
