Hi All
After 15 years with a variety of front engined Porsches, I find myself looking for a 996 or 997. I have spotted a few cars of interest including 1 or 2 on this site (and a friend has a nice 996 which is likely to be up for sale in a few months) but there's also a local car.
I popped to see it a couple of months ago. However, was put off by; a) low miles at 40k, b) lack of servicing in last 5 years, c) lack of miles in last 12 years (~10k). Essentially it looks like a 're-commissioning' job but it's priced to reflect the low miles rather than the lack of servicing or recent expenditure.
They've now dropped the price a bit now but it's certainly not cheap - just cheaper. I've never been that motivated with low low miles instead favouring more miles on cars with excellent recent years expenditure.
Question - am I wrong to think I could start putting on a few miles and find gremlin after gremlin starting to surface? ( Potentially thus impacting my initial 911 enjoyment).
