Default New to me 993
Well I jumped off the deep end and bought one from a fellow rennlister. Flew out this morning and got home a few hours ago. 95 C4 993 cab with 38k miles.

Here's a pic my friend took when we stopped to fill her up just after finalizing the transaction:


This is honestly way more car than I was expecting to get, but I am very excited and can't wait to get more seat time.

Excellent. Looks like you got OEM ltw 18s. IMO remove the front plate.

The front K40 sensors are in the plate frame or I would. I haven't looked at it closely to see if I can move them somehow.

Congratulation Patrick

That grin you have on that picture , you better get use to it because it will never
wear off for as long as you have that 993 .


Cheers Guy

Where in the state are you Travis?

It did look like an unusually large number of sales today. I hope the new owners make it this way too... great forum.

I already have questions popping up in my mind, so time to start searching and posting.

My wife said I looked like a "giddy 14-year old" in the picture. I kinda felt like one too!
