For a while now I've been trying to get my first 911 which was supposed to be a 964/3.2 carrera. The problem is I just can't seem to get one which is remotely appealing. Armed with a £14/15K budget I thought I was in the right ball park to getting a good usable car but having travelled the country and looked at so many so called "immaculate" cars I've really given up on the idea.
So I've started to look at the 996 as an option. Given my budget a good 3.6cc appears to be out with my range so I've been looking into trying to get a 3.4 with a m030 pack and a LSD, although I'm rather confused with reference to the LSD option as I always thought the M220 was a LSD but I've been told it's a 40% locking diff whatever that means?
Anyway, I've singled out a 1998 3.4 with 62K on the clock with every invoice and previous MOT that has at least the m030 and a locking diff? replacement clutch at 53K and NO oil leaks for £12K.
I'm I staring at a heart breaking proposition or are the horror storries more of an internet warrior crusade than the reality of owning such a car, and is £12K to steep?
Thoughts and advise very much appreciated.
