Clean bill of health!
I knew it would but you never know. I bought the car from a good friend and just had it checked out by the best Porsche shop on the east coast and beyond. He even services Seinfeld's Porsches! The owner said multiple times that it was a good car and that somebody put a lot of work into it. He drove and inspected the car himself. My friend actually put over $6k of upgrades into it betond what the previous owner did. Just getting little BS things fixed and some personal changes to the tune of $1,200 to $1,500 max. Can't wait to get her back!!!

Thanks John. Cheech did my PPI then talked my ear off for half an hour. He couldn't believe I had a picture of Fangio on the wall in my kitchen. I wish he was closer.

Haha, that Cheech is a character for sure. Since my home base is in Westchester, he is in a good location for me.

Nothing to Add here that hasnt already been said ,
I dont think the 3.2 is any more robust than an SC, and in fact is an increase in complexity which actually potentially makes it less robust ( relays, sensors, DME's ) but these are quite minor and once understood can be diagnosed fairly easily . But all in all it is pretty minor and if you can stretch it the 3.2 is a great engine with lots of power and as said can be chipped for some moderate gains. The SC on the other hand is realy old school with CIS. if you get one properly tuned your good to go . Head studs can be an issue so make sure you get that checked at point of sale. Other than that rock solid engine
915 vs G-50 ? Coke or Pepsi ? nuff said .. try both
Targa vs coupe ? I have a Targa .. seems to have tones of wind noise coz it is never in the car ..
. I love it and the roof spends most most of its days hanging on my garage wall. However i will admit it rattles and squeeks a bit on Bumpy roads when i do have it in , and that may be a consideration for you being in Edmonton and the cooler weather you have.
Targa gives you more headroom in back due to the rake of the rear window on the coupe if its a consideration for kids.
Lots of cars in yor area so talk to some locals.. if no one pops up here go to the regions from the drop down and check out the Canadian forum, fair number of guys from your area on there with all kinds of cars.
All the best
