INTRODUCTION
I have been a luker for some time as I was researching buying/investing in a classic 911. I come from the Audi s car/BMW/VW world. I am the owner of a high-end tool/die shop in Ohio and have used my car knowledge and machining to do some cool projects....and I have afew Porsche projects in mind! First I need my first victim. After much research, I am currently on the prowl (why is it when you have the $$$, you can't find a car?) for what I hope is the start of my new adventure. Looking for a 86-94 g50/c2/c4 car. Coming from Audi quattro's, the c4 cars hold some special interest for me! Black interior is a must, and exterior color is open (petrol blue, silver, grey, white would be nice). I was looking on my own but am seeing the logic of getting a sorted/documented car from an enthusiast. As most of you, I thought I could just go down to the corner, flash 10-14k grand and drive a sweet 911 home.......no such luck. I now understand, after a couple close calls, that buyer beware on 911 purchases. I hope to be joining you guys/gals soon as an active owner with some "skin in the game".

Good luck with the search. Being open to buying a C4 with help your chances. Actually, given your Quattro background, I think you'll be quite impressed the 964's all-wheel drive system. It's definitely one of the best. Do your research (on this forum) and you be amazed at how it handles... in the snow or on the track. I love my C2, but I'm really proud of the 964's C4 system.
Again, good luck with the search!

I got an amazing c4 for 15k a few months back, 150k miles on the body, less than 20 on a brand new engine. Bone. Stock. It's pretty great, had maintenance records going back to early nineties. In fact, my car was the 99th 964 ever made. You just have to keep looking for deals, I had my heart set on a 3.2 because of the price range and when I found a 964 in my range I jumped immediately.
No regrets.
Amazing car.
