I'm pretty much new to the idea of looking at an old 911 (possibly up to a cheap 964), I just love the air cooled ones, have always wanted one and maybe just have the money to get into the cheaper end of the market, but I always thought a turbo would be out of my league: Is this wrong?

Also this looks beyond cheap too, am I being utterly naive, can someone tell me if there's something glaringly obvious I should be aware of (complete novice)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dl

Sorry couldn't get them to work as links, if not: a 1983 930 with 80k miles - £6000 classified add (not auction) and a 1983 carrera 60k respray & restoration in 96 £6300.

Thoughts anyone

oops I emailed yesterday. Is that just to sell my email address to a mailing list or something more sinister I should worry about? Cheers!

Probably the former but we wary of any strange emails, especially ebay type ones. Never click on 'my ebay' from within an email. I did that once and my account got hacked banghead

I have seen the pics of the turbo before, I think it was for sale at around £17kono, it was for sale for a long time on auto trader. From the description it looks OK but the price is so ridiculously low it HAS to be a scam
