Is a cheap 911 a good idea?

A bargain 911 is only a bargain if it is sound. The 996 is cheap for a reason: IMS bearing, rear main seal, and bore scoring on the base M96, inspect carefully. Mezger GT3/Turbo are exempt. A clean, well-documented car at the higher end of the range almost always beats the cheapest listing with gaps in its history. Use the value tool to see what a specific car should cost, then set a budget alert and let the right one come to you.
