[s-cars] Avant sold - looking for P-car

[CLAG500 at aol.com]

The 964 issues are blown way out of proportion IMO (especially for 1992 and  
up cars). Distributor vent kit is like $20. Distributor belt is a pain to 
change  but also not very expensive. Oil leaks are mainly on some of the 1991 and  
earlier (headgasketless)cars. Not all of them leaked. Many were repaired 
under  warranty. Incredible cars! I bought this 1992 964 (slate gray over linen  
leather LSD C2) last May.

The 964s come up every now and then for cheap. I had to sell mine due to a  
reduction in income. (mine was not cheap) I really miss that car. The 964s have 
 so much power. Car would get up to 130 like nothing. Unbelievable brakes and 
way  way more performance than the 84-89 Carreras. (Although I love those as 
well  especially the Fuch mags). Not nearly as fast as the 964s though at 
least not  the ones I have driven. 
 
After driving the 1994 100cs Avant to work for a few months I got the urge  
for some cheap thrills and bought this.

Was going to try and find a really cheap 911 but it's hard to beat the  
performance per dollar of a used Audi. Also wanted a good daily driver but this  
car is so nice I still hate driving it in the salty weather.

Good choice- probably one  of the best balances between the raw visceral feel
of the early
cars and  the refinement of the later cars.


I'm not a big fan of the 964- the  dual distributor system and oil leaks are
potential issues. Also,
I  don't see them as a big improvement over the earlier  Carrera.
