Looking at a 87 911 in Marietta ga. The car is being sold by chettimotorsports.com . The price seems reasonable but would like to get thoughts and info on what I should look for. Dealer said he is going to get compression check and other ppi info done. Any help would be great. Thanks keith

condition of paint
condition of body
condition of tub
condition of suspension components
condition of motor, transmission, clutch
condition of braking system
condition of electrical system
condition of interior components

There is probably more, but that is a quick list off the top of my head...

The real question is what is supposed to be included in the PPI the dealer is having done? Get that info, then figure out what else should be added.

Find an independent shop to do the PPI or you might as well save the money.

Good looking car. I love the targas. Make sure it seals correctly.
