Buyers' Guides

Buyers' Guides - 996 (inc GT), Boxster, 993, 964, 3.2 & 3.0 911s

For those of you that know Autofarm, you'll know we really try to protect our client, often going overboard with free advice in the efforts to save people from the 'sharp traders' and 'cover-up merchants'.

The areas in which we see most heartache are arguably the budgets that can least afford to get it wrong:

  • When buying the newer cars privately and/or 'seemingly' cheaply
  • At the entry-level of Porsche ownership (say in the £13-20k price range)

These guides are written by the well-known journalist and author, Peter Morgan, and Total 911 Editor, Phil Raby. Both men are superb technically and mechanically. In case you have never come across Peter before, he has written many books and been a regular contributor to such publications as Classic & Sports Car, Classic Cars, 911& Porsche World, Porsche Post, The Engineer et al.
