However, for the past year I have a red 911sc coupe, it looks like a late 80's model pass by home every weekend. It appears that the owner had the car restored. It's not a show car but it looks amazing.
I want to sell my Z and find a 911sc. Is it a bad idea to purchase an older model Porsche?

For it to be reliable some factory updates are needed: Carrera chain tensioners and the gearboxes are not super strong. Turbo tie rod ends are also a good idea.
They are great cars but you need to seriously do the math on parts/maintenance and get a thorough test drive and hit Rennlist for some education.
If its not a daily driver and a toy go for it with those items in mind above to START WITH
