I've been looking for a 911 for a while now but not really got serious about it yet.

I'm not sure I'm ready to buy just yet due to personal reasons but I'd appreciate your thoughts and advice on buying the one below.

From lurking here I know to buy on condition, service history etc. some of the things to look for, consider a PPI (depending on your experience in buying etc.) and drive them. I've also got a budget in mind and made allowances for contigency fund / servicing costs etc. but is there anything else or anything specific to the car below I should consider or should be asking? Or do you have just have any comments? I might use this one to test myself before getting serious.

Looks like a very tidy example to me. If it's priced right, I can't see that one hanging around for much longer - it's very low mileage for a start.

It reads/looks & is priced very well. Buy it now, or at least have it PPI'd and then buy it, before someone else does.

Top price but it looks like a top car. :thumb:

Still can't believe how awful those early reversing sensors were though :eek:
 
Thanks for the replies everyone.

The car is already sold (shame they don't update their site mind) so I'll keep looking.

Of course any further advice more than welcome.
