I have to admit i've found myself peeking into 993's while looking at dealers for 964's and I love the interior upgrades & the 6 speed. All of the 993's I peeked at were at least 27K as well, otherwise... maybe...
I'm not looking for a project car but if someone had a clean title 964 roller that meets the interior/exterior specs I described in my post above and had no/blown engine and the price was right <11K) I might consider that as well. I could use the balance of my budget to put in a nice engine. Should be able to do something decent with that extra cash.

Warpig,
If you are looking for a Targa, you may wish to review this item on e-bay. Item #160331802888. I usually would not recommend something like this off of e-bay, but this was my car.
The car was stolen from my garage on 1/2/08, and after a joyride, the car sat for 14 months undetected, was recovered, and eventually sold at an auction earlier this month. The joy ride put on 4 miles! I noticed that it was on e-bay last night. I can tell you that the guy purchased it for $10k from the auction, but I do not know where his reserve is set.
I have detailed records I can e-mail if you wish to review. I didn't purchase the car at auction, because I had already used my settlement $ to buy a replacement. If you want record history, drop me a PM. You can also check out the entire saga on the General Discussion board under the STOLEN 964 in ATLANTA.
If this is not what you are lookign for, good luck on your search. I am sure you will find what you want, it just takes time.

Sounds from your post that you have thought about what you want which is good. Theres more chance of you being happy with it when you get it then.
I was just the same, I looked at 15 different cars and travelled all over the country looking at complete pig 964's until I found mine from a Porsche dealer who wanted £4k more than everyone else. Nearly 10 years on and I still absolutely love it.
Be patient, make sure you get a good one in the beginning. You'll pretty much have to replace most everything that everyone else replaces if you have it for long enough so its just a starting point anyway.
