Need a daily driver
Hey there.
I have a '92 Turbo with 20.000 km, but I find it too unique to use it as a daily driver - so I need another 911. A car which is not unique or rare, because that would put me in the same dillema once again.
What I had in mind was an old 911, 64-73, something between the 2.0 l and 2.4 l engine. I don't know much about these early cars, so I hope you can tell me what to be aware of.
Also, I have read that the early cars wasn't galvanized, so does that mean I should be very careful if I want to use it in the wintertime? Rust?

cant beat an sc for daily driving. Well yes you can because there cheap and easy to come by and you dont have to wory as much about rust. Seems like your going from one extreme to the other going to a 64-73

Hey again. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.
Agree, this would probably be the best car to use as a daily driver. I would probably go with the 964 as this is the one I like the most. But I have already a 964, and now I want something different and older.
Why?
I know, but everyone can go out and buy one of these. There are always some 996s up for sale. I will rather have something more special (without being to special).
Someone also mentioned the SC and Carrera as a daily driver. I already have something 'new', now I want something old (2.0-2.4) - and it is meant to be as a daily driver.
I like the 2.0-2.4 more than the SC and Carrera, and a 964 is what I already have, so I really want one of these - any input on this? e.g. what to look for? price range for a not unique and rare car. Don't care that much about mileage, just want a car with some history.

I see...hmm...you guys are probably right. But I am still hooked on the car. I would probably get in the same dilemme again if I found a low mileage car, but I am sure that if a buy one of these (and then it had to be a car with lot of miles already, or I would end up in the same sitiation again) with intention to drive it and put miles on the clock, it wouldn't be hard to me.
