Hi all
I am new to the sight and am just starting to do my research before I go out and look for a 911. I don't want to spend more than £20,000, and if I can away with less I will be VERY happy.
My question is why are there so many 964's for sale with 'full engine rebuilds' at what appears to be a cost of 5-7,000- some with as little as 60,000 miles. One of my reasons for buying a 14 year old Porsche vs a newer mass production sports car is that they should be built better and threfore age and high mileage becomes less of an issue--- condition being everything.
If I see a nice 964 without an engine rebuld should I budget for having to do one soon ? If the engine is rebuilt by a reputable specialist should it then go on for every if serviced, or is it a rebuild every 60-100,000 miles?
lastly regarding price is there an accepted rule of thumb difference in proce between identical condition LHR and RHD cars ?
Apologies if these are common or stupid questions.
thanks dave
