Japanese negotiators tend to put less emphasis on the literal meanings of words used in negotiation and more emphasis on the relationships established before negotiating begins.[16] They are also less likely than their U.S. counterparts to make procedural suggestions.[17]

Certain cultures, including Mediterranean, Arab, and Latin American, are more tactile and allow more touching. Asian, indigenous American, Canadian, and U.S. cultures tend to discourage touching outside of intimate situations. Certain cultures allow cross-gender touching, including the United States, while same-gender touching is less acceptable. These rules change in Japan, where women are frequently seen holding hands, but not men. In the Mediterranean, it is common to see men holding hands or touching in public, but not women. Greeting rituals fit with these patterns, so awareness of local norms is important for negotiators.

I think it took more than 30 days from the first look see to the point of putting in an offer on my 964 .

It is true that you learn a little from each one you look at. And, I think the market has cooled slightly from when I was looking a couple years ago. But still, if you're serious and ready, you have to be able and willing to move quickly, because the very best ones at realistic prices are often gone within hours of being placed on the market. If you're not that picky, you can approach the process more casually.

Nat, if you are in Oregon say Hi. I am in Seattle and I bought a 91C4 Cab 4 months ago from the original owner with everything, tools, window sticker service records and perfect and I do mean perfect for $25K. Car had a new clutch, recent full tuneup with valve adjust and has 49K miles and no damage ever. I asked about the clutch so early and flywheel let go so he had everything replaced.
PM me with your number if you want to talk. Good luck
Arne.

I think you've got the right perspective. No, you don't need to be in a "hurry" - but you do have to be ready to jump, as the really good ones come and go very quickly.
Not sure about the PCA angle. I just read the Panorama piece about searching for a car, and the guy pretty much dismissed any notion of craigslist, online sales, etc. as avenues to buy. He strongly favored PCA club members and Panorama classifieds as the best way to go. I thought the article was a real "puff piece"; a lot of those people, though well-meaning, have a pretty inflated idea of the values of their cars. They might be well-maintained, but that doesn't mean that everybody else's isn't. JMO.
