Default 1995 993 VERY COOL FS

I posted my car in the for sale forum. I am trying to move into a turbo...we well see if I regret this. I posted it on eBay as well

I may entertain, parting some pieces off it. It has a TON of goodies on it


My wife gave me the 10-4 so I have to act fast ! Haha

thanks,

Matt

Nice car! Mine is pending sale and I was planning on going coupe or Targa. Now I think I'm going to stay Porscheless for a bit, but I suspect this will be gone pretty quickly. GLWS!

When you did the PPI, what were the compression numbers? Do you still have the factory stuff, i.e. seats etc?

Very nice car. Good luck with the sale and the next Porsche you buy.

It appears as if you're living without the basket handle third brake light. Yes? Not a problem in GA?

I did not do a leakdown when I bought it. I had a PPI here at German Auto in Atlanta that I can email or fax to any buyers. It was basically minor stuff with the valve covers needing attention the most. Those get kinda nasty when they leak and they were both leaking.

You can give a training course on how to make a For Sale Ad. Very well done. If I was in the market I would have jumped on it.
GL with your turbo search. Can't wait to see her.
Oh, and thanks for the good comp prices on various fixes. $1,650 for full brake job with paint seems very fair.
