If the bills stack up then pass it on but if you can run a car for a couple of years without to many problems then you're on to a winner.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm spreading the work on as many sites as possible. Looking for a solid RHD 911 SC, my budget is between 6-7k.
If anyone knows of such a car please get in touch.

Cheers all.
They do crop up, not exactly shining examples but usable all the same. Just missed out on one, 82 coupe - FSH - 150,000 miles - last owner 4 years - 6k.
I'm in no rush to buy so I've got time find one at the right money, wish me luck.

Good luck and all that, but I suggest you read this very recent thread:

beat me to it!

classic 911 forum.
car and classic?
I'd be really interested to hear how you get on so make sure you post when you get something!
Reading the other 911 SC thread is a little depressing. Its very doom and gloom but I say what the hell, take the risk. If the bills stack up then pass it on but if you can run a car for a couple of years without to many problems then you're on to a winner.
Life's to short! I'll keep you posted on how I get on.

Yep, I'd agree. Enjoy
I tried to make the "if" as big as possible to make a point - it's a big "if" - geddit?

People selling their 911s for £6K are doing so for a very good reason. Good ones are worth considerably more, so bear that in mind. Basically ask yourself why the seller is trying to "pass it on" as you say. In my experience, buying a good one is the key to low running costs. Buying a munter at rock bottom price is the expensive way to go about it, unless you're just happy to have it sitting in the garage as an ornament. But best of luck anyway!

Have fun spending loads of money on it!
That looks about right. An honest ad (although brief) and that's about as cheap as they get.
You pays your money and you takes your choice..........
on a more helpfull note here's the cars i've found sub 8K:

http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C26512
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C26230
this one was 8K but has since sold

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1982-Porsche-911-3-0lt-SC-TA...
and this one just blows the budget but
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1985-PORSCHE-911-3-2-Carrera...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1983-PORSCHE-911-RED_W0QQite...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUPERB-1982-PORSCHE-911_W0QQ...
there have been more that have sold in the short time i've been looking.
I don't think anyone has mentioned this yest, but it's certainly worth considering a Targa on a low budget. They're normally a few grand cheaper than equivalent Coupes. But only consider a Targa for summer use. They're prone to leaking and associated rotting. Even more careful inspection is required before buying.
There's a relatively dated show on buying a 6K Targa available on the motorworld.net torrent site. Yes, you have to tolerate Mike Brewer being a c0ck, but it's a reasonably sobering tale. Worth a watch, IMO
