    1975 911 carrera. should i buy it?

    Hi every one

    I was offered a 1975 Porsche Carrera with 16,100 original miles. Im not so much into classic cars but i already have a slew of fast modern cars and thought this would be a good investment.

    The car is all original and i would be getting it under market value, it is a horid color.
    dull yellow, brown leather. The yellow was refered by my girlfriend as "YUK YELLOW"

    should i get it or save up for the new M3

    You MUST get a PPI BEFORE purchasing this car... ANY old school ( heck any car ) Porsche can have a lot of really expensive hidden repairs....

    Other than that, YES... go for the old school... anyone can have a newer M3!

    Man, i hate this. car has been checked out, has all documents. the car belongs to a client of mine that owes me much denaro. this would be partial payment. it is the second lowest milage carrera in the country.
    The main problem im having is the fact i dont have a garage! my M5 and RS6 sleep out side all year long, i cant leave this one out side. ( rust prone ) .
    what to do!!!???
    If i do take it next week ill post pics here after sending her to the detailer that posts on the forum.

    You guys are right. God is not making anymore of these old cars. and they are mostly destroyed, modded or rusting away with a million miles. who knows maybe i can sell it when im 80 at pebble beach for a million :P

    rent a storage unit or look for one of these odd things that is like a storage unit but you buy it and it can be a shop, storage, business, whatever BUT you can't live in it
    They are like $100k for a 5-8yr loan and then association dues....
    there is enough room in some for a motor home and a car or two and a second level

    Anyone in Washington state can help find this one... it is in Tukwila or Federal Way area
