Stay away from the 16v's, the heads break often, and cost$$$

Default 951 (944t) did not come with with a 16v head, only 8v...

You are thinking of the 944S2, and 968.

I've also not heard of them breaking all that often...?

Default I've said before, that I came "this close!" to buying a 951 instead of the CQ...

It'd be one helluva car, if I spent the same amount on it as I did (and still am!!) on the CQ. Purchase price was w/in $100 of each other, but the AWD swayed me. Little did I know that I could have had a 400+ hp beast back in the day (this was late 1996 when I was looking).

I'd hit it.

The words "used" and "Porsche" often strike fear in the hearts of many. Be prepared.
