Default At last, a 993 for me!

All -
headed out tonight to pick up a 1995 993 in Scottsdale. Course they're all gorgeous cars, but this one is very noice, no bias intented, naturally. I'll post up a pix on Monday. Been a lurker here for a long time and have been helped by so many on this board in making my selection, so let me express my thanks to one and all.

I'll be driving it back to the SF Bay Area on Sat morning and very much looking forward to the drive. The PPI picked up a few issues, but nothing that couldn't be quickly resolved. At 72,000 miles, the engine/tranny checked out fine. At $28,000, I felt I got a pretty good deal.

anyway, thanks for the years of help and watch this space for photos.

Joe

Sheesh. US$28k. A half decent 993 in the UK will set you back £30k - about US$57k at current exchange rate!!

with the $ dropping (and apparently no end in sight), i wonder if 993s here in the US will end for up for resale overseas in europe.

Funny how we all move about the country getting our cars. I bought mine in CA and brought it back to Scottsdale. You are doing the opposite.

Enjoy the drive. You should have perfect weather.
