I met a new friend who is bitten by the Porsche Bug. He is looking at a 1988 Carrera Targa(81xxx miles) and has asked for my advice. I do not know much about this model, but I do know who to ask. Could you give me some direction on what to look for, what to watch out for, what are the costly maintenance items,is this a desirable model,engine issues,etc. Your help and input are well appreciated in advance.

 

Great year, should be least worrisome of all the accordian bumper cars but get the Pre Purchase Inspection @ John Walker's workshop / Greenlake (206)789-6800, if you want a good evaluation.

John will let you know what you're looking at. Let him know I sent you.

Also check out the auctions on ebay, and other soruces (excellence etc.). This will give your friend an idea of what the car might be worth.
