I want to eventually get a 911. Not sure what the best and most desirable ones are. My budget is 10K if I keep my daily driver or 15k if I sell my daily driver.
Any suggestions ? Thanks, Levon |

The G-50 transmission is also in the 1987 Carreras.
It's not unusual for the 87 - 89 valve guides to require replacement after 40 - 60 K miles. Be careful. |
