All air and water-cooled 911 models are covered in detail, from the first in 1965 to the 2005 997. The Boxster from 1997-2005 is also covered, along with the 914/6 and the new Porsche Cayman.

 GREAT book, but some of the older models need updates
This book has a TON of GREAT info from an EXTREMELY knowledgeable author. He doesn't hold back and identifies all the weaknesses in addition to all the positives regarding evry model 911 up through 2005. It's even got a section on the 914 and Boxter. My only complaint about the book (and the reason I'm giving it 4 stars) is that it's obvious that he didn't "touch" some of the chapters on the older models (this is the 8th Edition). References to prices and styles compared to "modern" cars were obviously written in the 80's and he just left the chapters as is. Other than that, it's a GREAT book. If you're considering buying a Porsche 911 (and please, start pronouncing it correctly....."porsh-uh"), you HAVE to buy this book.

money saver ( jamesmccutchan )
After reading this excellent book I decided not to buy a used Porsche. Always consult a mechanic before buying unless money is no object.

A Great place to start
I recommend this book for anyone intested in Porsche. The model summaries alone are worth the price of admission. This book is written in a very easy to read style and one begins to feel almost as if a conversation is taking place with the author. Peter Zimmermann is very honest and generous with his copious amount of Porsche knowledge and the 8th edition is the finest version of the book yet.

Porsche 911 Buyer's Guide Review
I recently received this book by Randy Leffingwell while in the midst of purchasing an older Porsche. The book effectively pointed out the pro's and con's of the various years and was quite effective in pointing me at the things to watch out for durring the Pre Purchase Inspection. As a direct result of reviewing the book and focusing on the inspection I was able to pinpoint problems and follow-up with expert sources who respectively advised me to walk away from the purchase and refocus my efforts on a new model. Great book for any Porsche addict's reference library.

The first Porsche 911 book to buy ( hbethoney )
If you are thinking of buying a Porsche 911, or already own one, Peter Zimmermann's "the Used 911 Story" is just as valuable as the owner's manual. Read this book before negotiating a purchase and it will save you untold hours, days, years of frustration with a lemon. If you already own a 911, be prepared to find out more about your car than you know now--guaranteed. Just get it--you won't be sorry.
