Intro and new to me 1987 Carrera Coupe

I love the French Bulldog as well! Very close to a pug, which is obviously my favorite. You take him / her for rides? Sarge was always going for rides / very well adjusted to cars. From when he was a pup (back in late 90s), I would drive him into my office everyday (in a '99 M3 ), so he wouldn't be alone. Sarge passed few years ago, RIP buddy!

The little dude in the pics is our Boston Terrier ("Dotsy")... He's all about cars and riding in them... He gets plenty of ride time in my truck and roadtrips are fun with him... but he doesn't get much time in the 911's since he has a nasty habit of leaving his presence known on leather interiors...

Yeah... I'm starting to appreciate more and more how that could be a possibility... But that 40th Anniversary 996 is one special misunderstood/underappreciated car as well... It's hard for me to fathom letting it go... My biggest wish is to be able to keep both cars running as long as I possibly can (albeit the eventual implosion of the 996's engine will pretty much determine its own faith... )

Sorry to hear that Sarge is no longer with us... Very cool you keep his name alive with your online name here on Rennlist.

I hear ya about "presence" although I don't think Sarge ever made a mistake. His shedding though was a nightmare for my interior! I started putting down blankets.

Thanks for the story. My wife is also encouraging me to fill that empty spot with a 1987 coupe. Love those Southern gals! Found one with one owner, 105k miles, retired engineer and all service records. Good condition, certainly not concourse. He's about ready to hand his baby over to me because he knows I'll continue the pampering. Just one question…what do I offer him $$$?
Thanks in advance for your comments.

I'm an engineer as well so I can relate. Has the seller said what he thinks his car is worth? Do you know the condition of major components?. Definitely have a PPI done and based on results you'll have a better idea what to offer. And if all is good you're probably looking at offering north of $35K.
Best of luck!...
