Default First Porsche 993

I am about to purchase my first Porsche. I am having to decide between a 1997 coupe with a locking differential or a 1995 coupe for about about 7K less. Both have the same amount of miles and are a in the same condition. I am not sure if I should spend the extra money on the 97?

Lemon8 - do take this to the 993 Forum. There is a LOT of good info over there, and you will get good help and many opinions.

I have a '95 993 (110k miles) and there are good reasons to consider it over the 1997 - but I won't waste the bandwidth here in the (awesome) 911 Forum.

All good stuff...
