Default Looking for a 993... again

Hello brothers (and a few sisters)...

Yes, I'm back.

Looking for a coupe, preferably a '95 (I'm damaged for life from my SAI nightmare), and I'd like to keep the price in the low $30's.

I'm trying to like the 996's because my main goal is to have a comfy daily driver (short commute) that is also a p-car, but I'm struggling with that prospect.

Anyway, keep me posted if any of you have considered selling and are looking for a nudge.

Thanks a lot and I look forward to coming back into the light.

There's a local Adventurine in the RL classifieds with 59K for $31,400. I recently came around to the color and now officially consider it cool.

Other than suspension, seems very nice and fairly well sorted. I'm assuming that those twists are the solid 996 variety.

Good luck with your search, Jeff.
I was a fan of your last 993.

Hey Chuck... yep, I called on that car and have it in mind. There's also a local polar silver over black coupe that just came on the market here in Newport... going to try to get a look at it today.

Thanks for the compliment, Barrington... so was I.

Is the silver one the convertable?

I keep flurting with the idea of getting a 993, and am also located in Orange County.

Work, tennis, fam, and looking forward to this Spring and getting the car out more. Not much around here, but if you find anything of interest in my neck of the woods, I'd be happy to check it out...
