Hi Alex -
Your Lust is perfectly understandable ;-) I wanted a 911 since I was 14
(1964) and finally got one in 1999. And every time I drive it the thrill is
the same.
Now, about the one you mention. Be verwy, verwy careful. There's lots
of scams out there. I'm not sure I understand why a 911SC (one of the most
desirable & bulletproof 911s there are) is offered at $13.5K when the
valuations are between $18k and $24 K according to the ad at least.
Admittedly, being a 1980 it's at the low end of the SCs with the 89 being
the most desirable.
Seems like someone is leaving $5k-$10k on the table and that seems odd.
We just went thru this on the 911 list - I sw a early 89 for $12K something
and the value was in the $32K range. Turns out the car was being advertised
all over the place and is possibly a pirated advertisement.
Not saying it's a scam, just be careful. When your eye's see 911
sometimes the brain fades a bit.
But it sounds like a very nice car. I'd suggest you find a good Porsche
mechanic (one who *knows* them and not just works on them) and spend the
req'd $300-$400 for a comprehensive PPI. Having the dealer (Olympic
Motors) in the mix might help also - if something goes wrong you have
someone with (hopefully) deep pockets who probably won't disappear
overnight.
If things work out and you make it yours it will provide thrills
everytime you drive it. ;-)
Let me know if I can help -

Sigh. Every time I read an article like that it just fuels my lust
for a 911SC. When I win the lottery, I guess. As long as I'm
dreaming, how does this one look to the resident Porschephiles? Seems
like a pretty good deal to me, except I'd get rid of the Momo steering
wheel immediately (they just make me think of computer driving
games)...
