New Carrera in the family

csmab · 11-03-2009, 06:40 PM

Well - I have been without a 911 for almost 20 years. I had a 81 911 SC after college and then a 944 turbo. Wife, kids, mortgage put any Porsches on hold until now. Just picked up a 1985 factory turbo body 911 with 59K miles in Sept. The color is garnet red metallic. The car is in fabulous condition. Very happy to be in the club again.

Looks great. Mind if I ask how much you paid?

Worth the wait, I would say. Wow.

Wow, very nice. Enjoy.......

I found the car on cars.com. Got lucky. Contacted the owner within a couple of hours of it being posted and sealed the deal pending a PPI. Picked it up a week later and drove 1400 miles back to TX from the North East. The A/C doesn't work so I will need to replace the evaporator in the Spring since it has leaked out all of the freon. Exterior paint is a 9 after a $400 detail locally. Interior is also in great shape except for the leather dash which has cracked. It has a carpet dash pad which I don't like but can live with for a while.

VERY lucky. The only thing I ever see on cars.com is overpriced cars being sold by dealers.
