Post Buying advice

I am thinking about buying a 993 c4 but I was offered for the same price a 1993 964 C4 Jubi model #0017 with only 20000 Miles on the clock and that looks (and feels) as New
Since the 993 has already 40000 miles which one do you think is the Best???

Besides from the Turbo-look are ther any diferences on the jubi model towards any other 964 C4

Note:The Jubi Model is a special edition of wide-bodied 964 C4 that Porsche have made to celebrate the 30 Years of Porsche 911.
It was limited to 911 Cars and the one I am Thinking about buying is an early one number #017
to be exact.

My recommendation is that you be very honest with yourself regarding what exactly you plan on doing with your car. They are quite different driving experiences. With this 964 you are paying a premium for a collector's item. With this 993 C4 you are getting more of a car to drive.

Good luck,

Peter is dead on. What do you plan to do with the car. If you plan to drive it, get the 993. If you like the wide body, get a 993S.

I don't see the 20,000 mile difference as being a significant factor, how many miles do you intend to put on the car anyway? Buy a low mileage car and put lots of miles on it you are paying a premium and accelerating the depreciation. 20,000 miles probably does not qualify as a "garage queen" among this crowd.

Bottom line: Buy what you love.

Of you want a garage queen go for the collectors model. Daily driver would be the 993.
