High Mileage 3.3
...to purchase this car? I'm thinking this motor is still super strong if maintained properly.
I'm also thinking Franken-turbo!
Comments on the car and mileage??

If the car is what it claims to be and the PPI comes out good I wouldn't mind buying a high milage 964 turbo. The question that comes to mind of course, is when do you need to rebuild the engine.
I am no expert but personally I would be very interested in what a compression and leak down test shows on a car like this.

My own has 121,000 miles and was reading full power on a Dyno last year before i updated the turbo spring. Would not be over worried by miles if the service history is up to date.
Car is 12 years old so about an average of 8K per annum not bad, try and see if its miles have been about the same the last few years. Porsches should be used not stored.
Get an inspection carried out.
Not guenuine Porsche wheels so make sure they are OK for the car.
Love your altavar!
Busty just like a 964 turbo.

I'm so 'horny' for a Porsche Turbo. My first search started with the 993TT and has now included the 964 turbos.
I'm really more interested in RWD powered cars.
