Congrats, she's a beauty. I like the wheels a lot, too. I'm not a big chrome fan, but those look really, really nice on your car.

Welcome to a fantastic site from another recent newcomer.

Congratulations - great looking car! And those non-VarioRam 95 993s have a unique quality about them, not to say that the lack of the SAI/CEL problem is mighty pleasing!

Well, as I said, I feel I got lucky. It came with all service records. Serviced by Porsche every 5,000 since birth.
Don't feel bad - the number of cars I have bought without a PPI and that turned just great are many, and some of them high mileage Porsche. Although strongly recommended, you had good evidence that this was likely to be a good car given all the circumstances, personal contact, all service records, etc. - and personally that is just as good if not better than getting a PPI but not having a car's history.

Nice stance (car, not you). Car's not stock height, is it?
Beautiful ride.
Way to go!

Actually, that was my first thought! I'm sure both of us have ruined more than a few shirts from that crap.
