Year, make, model, mileage, and where it sits. A VIN speeds things up but is not required to start, and the pickup address tells us which local run the car joins.

Where the line is
We buy the cars the big guys reject — but we are not a junk buyer. These fall outside this buying program, and we would rather tell you now than waste your time:
- No working key
- Blown engine
- Shot transmission
- Major structural damage
- Heavily stripped
- Trash-filled or severely neglected
The 911 generations we buy
The 911 has been in continuous production since the 1965 model year, always with a rear-mounted flat-six. The original long-hood cars ran to 1973, followed by the G-series (1974-1989), 964 (1989-1994), and air-cooled 993 (1994-1998). Water cooling arrived with the 996 (1999-2005), then the 997 (2005-2012), 991 (2012-2019), and turbocharged-for-most 992 from 2020. Coupe, Targa, and Cabriolet bodies appear in nearly every generation.
State the generation and engine clearly, because a 993, a 996, and a 992 sit in completely different buyer pools in San Diego. Service records, matching-numbers paperwork on classics, and documented engine work matter more than options on this model.
Common 911 problems we still buy
IMS bearing failure (996 and early 997)
The intermediate shaft bearing on 1999-2008 water-cooled cars can fail with little warning and destroy the engine. Many cars have a documented retrofit bearing; without paperwork, buyers assume the risk is still there, and owners often sell rather than gamble on an engine.
Cylinder bore scoring
Some 996 and 997 engines, especially the larger 3.8L versions, develop scored cylinder bores that cause oil consumption, ticking, and piston slap. A borescope is the only real check, and a rebuild is a five-figure job, so owners frequently sell instead of opening the motor.
Air-cooled oil leaks and top-end wear
Air-cooled engines up to 1998 commonly weep oil from valve covers, oil return tubes, and seals, and higher-mile engines wear valve guides and head studs. A proper top-end reseal is specialist work at specialist prices, which pushes many long-term owners toward a sale.
Cooling system and coolant pipes
Water-cooled generations use plastic and aluminum pipes that crack and leak with heat cycles, and water pumps are a wear item on 991 and 992 cars. Because several pipes sit over the engine, labor dominates the bill and owners sell rather than authorize the teardown.
Every one of these is a condition answer on the form — report it and it is priced in from the start, never discovered at pickup.
911 seller questions
My 911 has over 150,000 miles. Is that a problem?
High mileage alone does not disqualify a 911. If it starts, drives, and has a working key, report the mileage honestly in the form and we will price the whole car, not just the odometer.
Can I sell a 911 with a lien or a lost title?
Yes to both — name the lender or pick the title situation that matches yours in the form. Complicated paperwork is part of what we handle, and we explain the correct next step before scheduling.
What 911 years do you buy?
We buy Porsche 911 vehicles across the 1965-2025 range we commonly see, and we will look at older ones case by case. Condition matters more than the year — a high-mileage 911 that starts, drives, and has a working key is exactly what the form is for.
My 911 has ims bearing failure (996 and early 997). Will you still buy it?
In most cases, yes — that is a known 911 issue and it is priced into the offer from the condition answers you submit, not discovered at pickup. Describe it honestly and the offer already reflects it.
