I posted this on several boards to get different perspectives. I have trolled the board for over a year, have sold my 98 M3, and am now actively looking for a 911. I drove a 1988 911 and thought it was slow compared to my M3. I am looking for 1990 and newer because I want something with power closer to (or hopefully greater than) my old M3 and something a little more modern than the older 911s. My target price is close to $20k, but I would go higher for the right car. I have to say I am very worried about buying a car with a bunch of oil leaks or other problems. My M3 wasn't a Honda, but it sounds like an appliance compared to the 964's I seem to read about. I definitely plan to do a PPI. So - any suggestions for a new guy? $20k give or take seems to be the price for 964's. The 993's seem to be holding strong in the $30's, although higher mileage 95's are getting into the mid-high $20's. It seems like the higher mileage 996's priced about the same as similar mileage 993's. Is it better to spend a little more and get a newer style with more miles or save a little money and get a 964?

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.
