Default I'm really confused

I need some councelling.
I can buy for these two cars for the same price. Either...

A 1996 C4S Black/Black 76km, mint, RSR's, new front shocks and full set of tyres, FSH, air box upgrade. Just a lovely car....or

1993 Turbo 3.6, Midnight blue/Blue leather, 80km's, mint, new tyres and also a lovley car. FSH but bone stock. The owner has had it for 11 years.

My head hurts form thinking about this. Remember they are the same price....exactly.

As much as I love 993s, this one's an easy choice. You have to buy the 3.6 turbo .

If a daily driver, get the 993. Otherwise, get the 3.6 Turbo.

I'm not a 964 guy at all, but I agree with Matt. While there may be no price gap, there certainly is one in performance...

I second and/or third all those opinions. That 93 is bleeding character.

Thanks guys.
I kind of expected that from you lot, even though this is the 993 board.
The 3.6 is a very special car for sure. I have owned one before and there really is nothing quite like one. Raw is the word.
Neither will ever be a daily driver. Weekend fun car.
Thanks

993MAN,

Looks like you are on a winner either way. Good luck with your deliberations.
