? On Purchasing Tii
#21
It has the wheels though and i think i can see the spot where the badge was, it looks like there is some glue there.
fc3sjunkie remember just cause he said he never beat on the car or took it above 6000 rpms doeesnt mean the previous didnt beat on it.

Also you don't know this guy so therefore you can't really trust him.His son could of been beating on it and the previous owner.A compression test tells you alot just make sure you get one.Not only that but at a spot of your choice,he can easily have a buddy at a shop he knows lie for him about the numbers.I don't know where to get the things to do a compression check someone else would have to help you on that.
Good luck

. . . . . But, things are looking up. I found a '67 Porsche 911S, and insurance is only $10 more for that than the 7...and he's all about saving 10 bucks

Yea, I decided last night that the 911 wasn't such a good idea, thanks to some friendly people on a 911 board. My list keeps changing, and i hate it! However, there's an '87 Turbo II, white (my fav. FC color), 46k original miles, one owner in Maryland (about 45 miles from me) for $7k. Sounds like a better deal than the one in South Carolina, simply because it's 10x easier for me to go to MD than SC. Also, the list has changed to look something like this:
FC
S14 Nissan 240SX
MkII Toyota MR2
E36 BMW 3 Series
Mazda Miata
Of course, the FC will always be on the top of the list. Damn me an my indecisiveness

Is this your first car?The MR2 isn't a car for the enexperienced driver.
An fc is a great car to start off with.Stick with it.

Compression tester can be had at a Pep Boys or an Auto Zone. About 20-30 bucks. Just ask the guys at the counter, they "should" know.
Or check in your pops garage, he may have one. My father had one the whole time, and did not even bother to tell me.
7k for a TII seems VERY high. But what mods have been done engine wise, suspension, body kits. I would rather take a stock FC rather than one with modifications. One thing, it is just fun to work on it and spend your hard earned cash on mods. It is just more satisfying.
I would never buy a Porsche in my life. And only one reason....I would be labeled for having a small dick. Now in a FC, that is a different story.
Good Luck. And where is this guy selling a TII in Maryland, I may have seen it.
