Default New guy looking at getting 911.

Hello guys, I'm looking to buy 2000 to 2003 911 for 30k. I looked at some on auto trader.ca around 100k mileage so was wondering what I should watch out for and what services should be done at that point. Currently I drive 2006 Acura TL and I live in Brampton.

Thanks,

Aspec

A friend of mine is selling a 27k mile cab for less than $30k, but you'd have to import it from the US.

There is a beautiful Porsche cab for sale on Rennlist asking $30.My guess is that it will sell FAST.

Ive got a canadian spec coupe sitting in my garage in Georgia. 99' with silver on black interior.

Clean car, 58K miles. IMS bearing done with LNE kit and a bunch of other maintenance. I would sell it for a reasonable offer.

If your buying a 10 year old 100K mile 996 be prepared for the potential maintenance costs of major components.

I have a 2002 C4S that for the right price I may part with . PM me if interested located in Toronto.
Make sure whatever you buy service is up to date or get a PPI done. You can quickly add 5-7k on the price if it needs brakes/clutch tires etc.

I'm pretty far away from you, but my car is probably pretty close to what you're looking for (see link in sig).
