So, I'm seriously looking at 2 911's and would love to hear your opinion ...

I have a '91 C2 Cab, you'll love the cab. I too like the classic front end. the 964 is the better car in my opinion. I would take those rims off and put the original d50's on. There are some other decent options for wheels. good luck, there is no bad porsche....

not knowing your location or $$ limit, there is a 964 turbo for sale on the 964 turbo forum. if i was in the market for a 911 i'd be on a 964 turbo like white on rice on a paper plate with a glass of milk in a snow storm
if your going to jump in, use both feet......

We were looking at the car for my brother-in-law, drove 174 miles to see it. The seller told us that the car had no paint work, was near perfect....blah blah blah. When we got there and asked a few questions, he became irate and said "this is why I don't like to sell locally, I have to answer too many questions". I thought, well, he's obviously an idiot, but let's look at the car. He pulled the car out, and I immediately noticed the overspray on the drivers front fender, red paint on the rubber trim around the door, and 3 holes in the drivers door jamb with hokey-looking plastic caps in them. Someone had fixed some dents in the left rear quarter and figured this looked okay. The only panels that did'nt look painted were the hood and engine lid. I'm suspicious of the miles because the paint on the hood looks to have way to many chips & wear for 50k miles. The car just has a "tired" look to it if you know what i mean. Keep looking, the right car is out there. Last month, I bought my '91 964 coupe with 43k miles for $22k. Great condition, no paint work....There's my opinion, happy hunting.

1993 964 for Sale
I have reluctantly decided to part with my 93 C2. If only my drum set fit inside a little more easily!
Black Exterior, Black Interior
42,800 miles currently
Adaptive Sport Seats, Full power on Driver's seat, heated mirrors, 5 speed manual, 17 inch cup wheels
It's been a great daily driver for me... no problems in the year and a half I've had it.
Recent work includes: new front brake rotors, new struts on front hood and rear deck lid, replaced drain plugs under front bonnet, Replaced non-functional original CD player with a Panasonic CD player and Radio, (still have the original), A/C system was recharged last summer, Fuel Injectors were cleaned and rebuilt, 35,000 mile tuneup when I first bought it, and I had the oil changed in last month.
I have a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and repair records for above work.
Title is clean - I am the 4th owner.
Pictures can be seen here: http://picasaweb.google.com/chodosir...21993964Photos
I'm asking $25,000 OBO.
Send me email or give me a call if you have questions...
(I've sent a few personal messages to folks on the forum too... the OBO offer goes to you guys as well. )

As a current owner of both a '87 Carrera and a '92 964T, I can honestly say my -overall- preference is my '92. The 964/965 is more solidly built and more refined, has improved *everything*, better safety features, cleaner lines, and more HP and torque (even from the normal C2). HOWEVER, I will definitely say the simpler design of the '87 is very appealing when it comes to maintenance. My '87 has easily been the most reliable car I've ever owned... and it has a beautiful, classic look.
