Attended the PCA Appalachian Region’s “Appalachian Adventure” last weekend in Kingsport, TN. It was a wonderful 4 days, catching up with Porsche friends new & old. I brought my 1989 944 S2… facing stiff competition (none to be precise), my car won 1st place in its class in Friday’s concours.

Some good tips for buying a classic car (or any car for that matter). Ideal is to get your own eyes on the car AND a pre-purchase inspection. But there are some good screening steps to do before going to that effort and expense (video call, VIN search, e.g.). If you personally inspect the car and/or have a PPI done, it's also important to be realistic - if you're looking for perfection one will likely be disappointed. It's a balance.

Buying an old car sight-unseen is a thrilling proposition, but it's also a risky one. Here are some tips to help navigate the process.

I received a letter recently from my local Lexus dealer encouraging us to purchase a "Vehicle Service Contract". This is frustrating to me, and it should be for most Lexus owners. One reason we bought a Lexus was its reputation for reliability, and so why do I need to buy a service contract? (We also own a 2014 Lexus... one minor issue over that time that required a $100 part and a couple hours of labor). And the dealer informs me that labor prices are going over $250/hr... a price that they control! Extended warranties need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. I would recommend it on some cars of a certain age/mileage, but not on a Lexus.
(EDIT: Based on a couple of responses (thanks)... I now realize that this appears to be a service contract for scheduled maintenance and not an extended warranty. I'm now curious... I plan to call the dealer to see how much this costs).

The 986, 987 and 981 generations of Porsche's Boxster & Cayman are a relatively affordable way to get into a Porsche. The mid-engine layout makes these cars' handling sublime.
