I won't be contacting the SC owner anymore. He seems to be the type that shuts you down when he realizes he's not going to get what he (unrealistically) wants. Also, he's selling the car to finance an 80's ferrari as it turns out.
I hear many of you really pushing the Carrera over the SC. Is there a significant advantage to having a Carrera? I love the SC---I have sentimental reasons for owning one since it was the first Porsche I have ever driven. Great memories. But I will consider the Carreras if you really think there is a major difference with the SC.
Thank you guys again,

I've had an '86 3.2 that I still miss even after selling it 5 years ago. My brother has two '83 SC's that I drive regularly. The SC's and 3.2's (915 equiped 3.2's anyway) drive very similar. I feel the 3.2's will dawdle around town at lower rev's easier than the SC's, but they both pull nicely as rev's rise.
Check out my car in my link below. If I were to sell it, I'd be hard pressed to get $22k to $23k for this car. It's a '90 with 33k on it in concours condition. So, an SC for $20k or more is insane unless it's completely stock, has extremely low miles and needs nothing major in the way of mechanicals or cosmetics.
