Should I buy this?
Have a chance to purchase a 1985 911 Targa in very good interior/exterior condition, it has approximatley 200k miles on it and poor service records but doesn't have anything wrong as far as I can tell, I will get an inspection, but want to know where I should go from here...The actual mileage will be listed on the title as UNKNOWN b/c it was replaced by the owner and only shows half of this...they want $13,500 for this, but I'm not sure if I should even consider it for anything above $9-10k...I'd like to wrap up this deal in the next few days, so any help I can get from you guys the better... <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

forgot to mention that the carfax stated about 200k on it but the odometer says 100k with a 3 month gap in between...I've noticed that almost everyone wants $24k for an '85, so I figured I'd have some room to play with, I don't think that the $13.5k is a good buy though...

Schuey,
Unless you are going to tear the car down and prep it for track use (which would include roll cage, removing and sprucing up the engine, suspension, etc...) I would pass on this one.
