As per the thread title I'm thinking of getting my hands on something for high days and holidays. I've got a budget of up to £10k and fancy a late model 986 with no more than 50k miles. Preferably with FPSH and Tip or manual, not really fussed. Though if pushed Tiptronic would be nice. With that criteria it looks as if I might be able to get a 2.7 from trade or maybe a 3.2 private.
So you know what's coming... the horror stories. You'll be well aware the internet is awash with them and I'm trying not to go cold on the whole Porsche thing. So reassure me. Are these the money pits I read about with engines that regularly go pop? What should I be looking for? And tell me how much (excluding fuel, tax and insurance obviously) it takes to keep one of these on the road.
There is a slight complication though. I keep looking at 944s. Same as above but swap 986 for 944 [
]
Thanks in advance.
