Default Looking at high mileage 993

Hi Guys

Firstly hello. I'm new here - signed up from sunny old blighty.

I'm going to look at a150k 94' 993 C2 on Sunday and am concerned about one thing in particular...the suspension. The suspension hasn't been changed since the day it rolled off the factory floor which concerns me a bit (read a lot).

I've been reading up quite a bit on things to look out for and had excellent advice from a friend over here who has a lot of Porsche knowledge. I don't think we discussed old suspensions though. Should I assume that replacing the suspension is a must? How can I check the suspension short of simply suggesting it needs replacing and haggling on price? If it's £1.5k at least to replace then I want to recoup some of that cost.

Otherwise the car sounds pretty decent in terms of service history, repaired window rust, receipts etc. Just want to cover some of my bases.

Appreciate your help

These cars need suspension after 30-40K miles. If the car checks out otherwise, buy it, change it, and then no worries.

Ouch, so it's well and truly shot by now then. So, haggle to get the price down to allow for that then!!
