Hi all, I'm currently carless and hoping to buy my first Porsche in the next few weeks/months. I have a maximum budget of £15,000 and was thinking of a 911 996 model or a Cayman. I know the Cayman will be 5/6 years younger for the budget but I think I've decided on the 911 now. I've been looking at several 98 or 99 models with around 80-90,000 miles on them recently. I live in the North West of England area but I'm willing to travel. I saw one in Truro for sale the other day, it was a T reg 99 3.6 engine model with a factory fitted GT3 kit on with 90,000 miles on for £9500. However, doing lots of research on these cars has made me worry about problems etc, am I sensible buying this sort of car for that kind of money? I'm willing to pay an 'expert' to check the car over before purchase. I spoke to Porsche Exeter today and they said they would be willing to do an '111 point check on it'. Does this go in depth? Ie. the dreaded intermediate shaft bearings or possible, potential engine issues? What are they checking? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks, Mark.
