Used 1988 Porsche 911

For me, the 911 is the best car money can buy. There are few cars that combine outrageous performance with the ability to pootle around town unfussed and in such a beautiful frame. It has something for everyone. Hop into the G-Series 911 for the first time and you immediately feel like you're in something special. Low-slung seating position, big Porsche branded wheel in front of you and stupendously wide arches in the wing mirrors. Fire the 3.2-litre air-cooled flat-six into life and it's a little angrier than I remember from my first experience in the G-Series. It starts with a purposeful growl and idles smoothly but with enough hint that it's ready to go. If you lust after a 911, you don't need to be told why. There's no sound quite like that whirring, six-cylinder hair dryer living just aft of the rear axle. There's no other shape so pure and simple. There are few cars that have been as successful on racetracks around the world. Porsche's venerable icon is one of perhaps a dozen designs that, more than anything, simply says "sports car." As with many Porsches over the years, one of the Carrera's most endearing aspects is its superb build quality. Every fitting, the stitching on the seats, the smoothness of the paint, the instruments, everything smacks of quality.
