Smile WTB: 993 Coupe in Polar Silver

I am looking for a 993. While I have my preferences (no accidents, reasonable history, good condition), I am open to many different forms, so please send me a PM.
This will be my first Porsche and I intend on keeping this one for a looooooooong time.
Many Thanks, Alfa40

Polar silver will limit Your search to the first half of production, the later years where Arctic silver. Why only Polar silver?

I'd be open to different colours, but polar silver is my favourite, by far.

An amazing car, but way out of my budget.

San Francisco, CA. I agree that being able to test-drive and arrange for a PPI with a simple visit on a weekend is certainly the more comfortable way to go.

Polar Silver IS the best color! What is your budget? This one looks awesome IMO, if I didn't have one exactly like it I would be interested.

There were three for sale in my area, they sold for 38.5k, 45k and 46k. Milage varied from 98k to 48k. They were all 2 owner cars, RWD, with varying levels of history, but at least two of them were in good condition, and I can't speak for the third. This makes spending 55k a little hard to justify. I am not looking for a garage queen, I want a well kept and maintained daily driver and I would be ok if it had 100k miles. I am simplifying of course, but I am not planning on spending more than mid 40s.

FYI, I just purchased this one from Rennlister Sean Spicer last week. 95 Polar Silver with 109K. Tasteful/conservative upgrades and excellent service history. $49993
I'll be doing a more formal intro soon once I get some more photos. I am moving into the 993 from the 964 world.

Good luck with your search. I was looking for the same a few months ago. Ended up with Arctic Silver instead

Arctic Silver is nice, that Stockholm picture looks very classic and sophisticated indeed. But the hint of blue just gets me
