Question about a 911.
Hey... alright... lets say I knew about a screamin deal on a 1977 non turbo Porsche 911. Black. Black interior.
Lets say I also, out of curiosity, checked into insurance. Why would it be a really bad idea to get that? - Rob |
Don't worry about insurance........
worry about parts and service costs Rob.

- Rob [/B][/QUOTE] Because you'd eventually have to tell your new wife about it. Ron (just trying to pre-save a marriage). |
Uh... she would LIKE a porsche, much more so than the automatic yachtlike SVX.
Hrm AWD is good for the winter though< PLUS, this car has an airbag - Rob |
What Todd and Ron already said about sums it up. How good of a deal are we talkin here?

Rob,
You cannot assume that the car will be reliable. I don't know about your financial situation, but I would expect you'll need to budget about $3000 a year for repairs/maintenance on a 911. The shop I take my SVX to does mostly Porsche service. They tend to need alignments more frequently and they are not cheap. I think they are around $250 for a four wheel alignment. In addition, most minor parts are more expensive than on our SVXs and the major parts are quite a bit more than a typical car. If you have the budget, go for it. They are awesome to drive. If you are just able to make car & insurance payments, you will be giving yourself a lot of extra stress. Doug |
go to the 911 forum on rennlist.com and lurk around/ask questions - its the 'SVX Network' for Porsches. :)
get a Performance Products catalog for cheap OEM and rebuilt parts (and aftermarket/performance stuff, too.) the cool thing about 911's is, you can put a little work into it, drive it for a few years, and sell it for what you paid for it (or more.) too bad this ain't the case with the SVX. :( |
