Default WTB: 993 TT, bone stock, no mods, < 50K miles

I finally bought one this week after eying the 993TT for about 20 years.

-------------original post----------
I'm on the lookout for a stock or close to stock 993TT, <50K miles. Minor, reversible mods are ok. Minor paint work (like front bumper) is ok. No track time (I like track cars but I'm not looking for a 993 track car.) Records preferred but not essential if the car checks out otherwise.

I'm fairly agnostic about color, except not yellow. I have one yellow car (04 GT3) and I like to mix up the colors.

Any leads, please LMK. PM preferred.

993TT will fit in nicely with the rest of your P car stable.
Nice acquisition btw on the 4.0

You're on a roll. Hope it checks out! Great stable of cars. A 4.0 and a nice 993tt in one week is good work.

The recent price spike has really coaxed them out of the woodwork. Never seen so many on eBay. Paradoxically, I'd call this a buyers market: so many cars for sale you can be selective.
Also it will pay off to peruse this forum.

Somewhat the same here. I'm at 60K and all original. Oh well, I guess I'll just suffer and drive it.

I went to look at this car and the front bumper had cracks from an impact. They also told me the paint was original, yet the front lip was over sprayed / not glossy.

The car is arctic silver. It's not the most exciting color... But I like it on the 993 turbo and none of my other cars are silver.

It's not bone stock but it will be soon. The car came with all its stock parts.
Fwiw the roads are crappy around here, so a non stock suspension doesn't really provide much if any benefit. And there's too many cyclists and cops on the roads to use HP mods in my area.

On the track that's a different story. But I've got a dedicated race car for the track ... Which is "modded" to hell. Well, prepared to take advantage of what is allowed in the class rules.
