There's been thousands of dollars worth of advise in this very thread. None really taken, it seems, so at this point it's worth $1 to me. I honestly wish you luck. I've just seen this movie before.
For the origin of the $1 socio-phylosophycal bets, please find and see "Trading Places".
PS. GO see the car. At the very, least do a Rennfax by someone who knows what they are looking at. It will save you money and aggravation in teh future and I'm willing to bet much more than $1 on that.

Just kidding. Don't mind the peanut gallery. This is all part of buying an used car. I had a PPI done at RAC Dallas on my 3TT. Compression, leakdown test drive etc.. Hans called me back and said it was a good car so I bought it.
If Rick Deman said it is a good car, then it is probably solid. Set aside 10% of purchase price to fix little things like door checks latches, leaky evaporator and stuff that wears out on a 20+ year old car. If you don't spend that 10% on fixing the car, then upgrade suspension, exhaust, shift rod and steering wheel. You will have a solid car.

I just looked at a 993 for a Renn member hear in KC , then suggested they get a PPI which they did. I then did a detailed report which member appreciated. The member is now flying to look at car, so I would recommend to do it this way, in the ned fly in and look for yourself.
