Thanks again to all of you guys who spoke up when I asked for help in comparing an 82 and an 87 a few weeks back. Since then I've been considering this one, which someone had commented on after looking at the Pelican listings.

I spoke with the owner for an hour the other night. He has driven the car only 4k miles since acquiring the car 5 years ago. He says it handles great, pulls hard, no problems, etc...
The not so great things:
windshield seal not tight everywhere---lets a bit of water in when the car is washed.
couple small scratches on the wheels.
oil drips (didn't know origin---i've contacted the guy who sold it to this guy to ask about that)
intermittent squeak in the front. the guy didn't know if any of the bushings had been replaced w/ poly. apparently some spray lube stops the squeak, but it hasn't bothered him enough to chase down and fix.
Seeing as I want a car to drive on the nearby backroads and hopefully occasionally take some drivers' ed now and again, and that I'm not looking to get into too pristine a first porsche, I wonder if you think this one might be a good fit. Anything I should be concerned about or ask about?
Thanks, and Happy New Year.

Regarding the front squeak, after suspension work, one a-arm bushing started squeaking on my '84 911. If this car has the same issue, buy an Elephant Racing front a arm bushing kit, have your shop press 'em in, do an alignment & you are good to go. The last time I checked, the front bushing kit was $250.

Baby,
Hope you got my replies.
This is my old car and my wife says I should by it back, she likes it better than my 993. With 22/28 torsions she did just fine in the few AX I took her to. Very solid car that might need front bushings upgraded, other than that I'd just driver her.
Hope you got my replies.
