The 964 was built when porsche had no cash and as a result corners were cut.. this is the most unreliable of recent 911's.. drive shafts being a common problem... I would look for a 993 if i were you.They are a world apart in reliability and handling terms, and of course looks... Actually i'd hang on to the m5 as it would have the 964 for breakfast!

Kin The Porsche looks like a nice car but if he is looking for a straight swap or anything close then imho you'd be mad to take it. A Porsche like that should be a second or third car only. Rack up an average sort of mileage on it and the bills will mount pretty quickly and the value will drop accordingly. This money would buy you more car from the UK. |

Of course you can hang out with us! High enough miles. Age in a Porsche wouldn't bother me, as long as it has been looked after. I'd try for a 993 C2 if possible - so much more sorted in lots of respects. That one is an absolute honey though! I'd be tempted if I were you... |

Owner of this car just emailed me to ask if I wanted to swap.
http://www.carzone.ie/usedcars/index.cfm?fuseaction=car& carID=305598 Classic insurance, smaller more fun car as I wanted, a bit old for my liking. Was going to go for a 993 or even a 996. What do you guys think. I just had 3 friends in my car in the weekend driving them into town. For obviously put the foot down, hey had so much fun 2 of them asked me how much do I want for it. Can't do that in the Porsche tho. Decisions. p.s. Also it means I can't hang with you guys no more. |
