I had the same choice- I came out of it with the 95.

Without knowing the price, I'd say go with the '95. It also depends on what you plan on doing with the car.

Even more important than knowing that both cars are the same price, though, is how much are both cars? Maybe neither one is the right one because they are priced too high.

'95 does have the SAI pump and ports, but no OBD II. '95s clog too, but no CEL with OBD I. In my State you can get an "exception" and pass State Inspection with an SAI code on an OBD II car. I'm sure there are other States with similar provisions.

What kind of suspension upgrades and how new are they?

The '95 is overpriced, depending on condition. Get the seller of the '95 down to $33K or so and then you've got a decent deal.

pss9 is great, i would want it on my car, I would also look for a car with it honestly, but pss9 shouldnt increase the price of the car in my opinion, even though i want it, it will make it an easier sell but shouldnt be a permium over a standard car

Drive both enough to get to know each one. You will quickly find that each 993 drives just a little bit differently. Yesterday, I drove another 95 993 over 450 miles (in about 6 hours) and once again, find that all of these beasts drive just a little bit differently.

I sent you a PM yesterday, did you get it?

As usual, the guys who own '95's recommend a '95, and the '96+ guys recommend "their" car.

Both have their advantages/disadvantages. Buy the one that "speaks" to you...you'll know after you drive each of them.

Got it, sent you a message back.

Why were you driving another 95 993 so far?
