Product Description
The Porsche 911 Buyer's Guide takes a year-by-year approach to what a prospective buyer should look for when evaluating a used 911. For each year, from 1965 to the present, the author examines the problematic areas of each model, what to ask the seller, what the critics said of the car at its release, the cost of replacement parts, and the updates and options available for that model year.

When your spending $20K+ on the purchase of a used porsche, it would seem prudent to verify what is being represented in the vehichle description. For example, Can you properly I.D. an Factory built wide body 911 ( Turbo or option 491) vs an after market modification? Do you know if that rear spoiler is factory or? Can you verify other options? Being able to properly decode the VIN# and locating the option codes would seem nessesary to acomplish an accurate verification. There is alot of misrepresentation in the early model porsche market and knowing what your buying is a must. This book does not address this subject very well.
 For 2nd addition, expected less errors October 4, 2009

The book gives a good set of specs for each year of car, however, it seems like it hasn't gone through a careful review. I noticed a lot of inconsistencies in the specs for example. Very similar models with same engine and weight are shown to have drastically different 0-60mph times for example. The descriptions of different year models and changes from prior years are confusing and not self contained (one description will reference another year, which in turn reference other years, and so on). The mechanical problems page for each model is cluttered and hard to follow, again referencing other pages. Overall its not too bad but could be really improved with some good editing.
