So…I am contemplating the next purchase… not in a rush.. the right deal at the right time…. heck…I may even go for a 1974 GTV Alfa Romeo--a whole different story! I love the following three models: All 912 coupe models (Ideally, Red, Silver, light blue, or the weird mustard color) The 1989 930 (turbo) (Ideally Silver, Red, black) The 1989 944 Turbo (S) (Ideally Red, Silver, Yellow) Of course, they are all in different price ranges… so my interest is to get one of the above for fun, daily/weekend driver/ semi restored (I dont want to work on the cars too much aside from regular maintenance or basic work) and I do believe the wife will want to drive it more than the -6. As I know how critical this group is, I would love to hear the pros/cons on the above models. I pretty much have my mind made up, but want to check with the peanut gallery to see if I am in the right path… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) If you are aware of a car for sale within the above types, I welcome also the lead--PM me or email me. |

Yes I prefer manual as well. Didn't know if you had a preference. These cars at these prices (esp. The 928 S and S4s) are steals just like the 911T which would sell for 6x-7x that much. Sometimes the adage "If it's too good to be true..." isn't always the case. She just didn't know what she had (or cared to find out because she just wanted to get rid of it). The others seem to be selling out of financial need. Definitely worth more.
I can look around here for you if you decide on which car you want. Agood working order car at a good price would be worth shipping or flying in to drive back. A guy called me last night who's planning on flying here this week to buy my 914 2.2 and drive it back to NM. |
