I am looking to buy a used 911, but am curious about the difference
between the air-cooled older models vs. the new water-cooled engines.
I know a lot of Porsche "purists" believe the older air-cooled models
are the only true Porsches, but I wanted to hear some opinions on what
people think is the best way to go before purchasing my first Porsche
(I'm still two years away, but want to start doing research and test-
driving soon). I'm probably looking for a model between 1998 and 2004,
putting me on the cusp between the switch-over in air vs. water - has
anyone had experience driving both? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I'm also interested in hearing what people think is the #1 thing to
know before getting a Porsche for the first time (a used one). Is
there any one great piece of advice that people were told or have
learned that they'd like to pass on?
Any help would be appreciated - thank you.
