Hi there folks,
Greetings from Lisbon.
I'm moving myself to London to work for the next... well, years. I never owned a car and I want to buy a car. Originally thought of a Jag XJR, big and fast but then one ting stuck me - I'm single and well, since childhood I , like every normal kid, dreamt about 911's.
So I started looking for 964's and they somewhat fit into my budget but I would like your advice in several topics :
+ is the 964 a good buy as in a 1st car or I'm dreaming too high ? should I go for a 944 or 968 to get used to and then move to the 964 ?
+ coming from Portugal, we are used to LHD and these are more "usable" choices to me. Usually, after reading and reading, they somewhat carry the bad badge of being german import cars that were previously damaged. Is that so, rule of thumb ? Even with full FSH ?
+ any good dealers ? I liked the cars of Eporsch.co.uk ; I will live in London, distance doesnt matter.
+ Apart from damping and oil leaks, any other real issues that I should be on the look out ?
+ do you people recommend any guide for buyers ? I've seen several but dont know which one is the best. Advice please ?
+ What should I care about milage ? I've seen vehicles from 50 to 120k miles... I know that the less the better, but which is a fair average ?
thank you for all the help and hope to see you in UK roads in a while
