1987 Porsche 911 Carrera review from North America

Car has a lot of miles on it and burns a little oil. Never smokes or leaks, but will go through a quart every other fill up at the gas station. A little annoying, but manageable.

It is amazing to me that after almost 20 years these cars still look better than most 5 year old cars on the road. People that own them generally take very good care of them. The build quality is excellent as well. The DME on the 3.2 is simply un-matched for any 911 older. I read once in a buyers guide to simply buy the newest 911 you could afford. I agree completely. I have owned a 1968, 1970, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1978, 1979 and now my 1987. The SC's might have a similar look, but it stops there. Everything else on the cars was improved upon. It is just amazing to drive mine and then step into a 1977 911. I still love the earlier 911's, but will not be going back. My advise to any buyers, stretch your buck and get at least an 84' or newer. If you can swing it, don't go older than a 1986 for trans upgrade reasons. I love my 87' and drive it daily which is almost not enough in my opinion. (big smile)
