Used to spend some time on BMW car club forum many years ago as a long term BMW man finally going to make the plunge into a 911.
Got a deposit down on a Gen 1 05 plate 997, Carrera 2 s in silver with 50k miles and the Indy dealer has just gave Cath Burrows 7k to rebuild the engine with the dreaded bore scoring.
Having read the forum & done bit research I'm seeing this rebuild as being a good thing if it's been done well as Cath has I'm sure she seems to have good reputation around Lancashire.
Sale is still subject to her going through a full mechanical inspection for me this week I'm just trying to get as much info as possible at this stage so any help would be great.
Is this as decent a buy I'm going to get?
Car would be daily driver and is obviously 12 years old or so now is there anything else I need to consider?
