Very nice looking car. I hope the PPI goes well. Arena Red is a great color. I believe I used the same buyers guide you are referring to and it has a wealth of good information in it. Really helped me along the way.
Good Luck

I would love to tell the price, but I don't want to jinx it. I will share if/when the purchase goes through. However, I am happy with the negotiated price if the PPI goes well.
I find it a bit ironic that a Boxter shows up right when I took the picture. Man this color rocks...ok, I am bit old school.

Everyone knows arena red cars are the fastest.
Arena red with black interior is a rare combo.
My interior is classic gray with the black deviating carpet option. Most interiors paired with arena red
are gray or cashmere. Good luck in your quest!

All confirmed and ready for PPI tomorrow. Will let everyone know what goes down. I am hoping for the best...probably will miss the hunt but my wife can't take it anymore. :-)
Thanks for all the compliments...I didn't realize black was so uncommon but come to think of it out of the 5 Arena Red's I saw this was the only one with black. I also hope that the light scratches will buff out...most looked just to be surface, didn't show any white. Even the ones with a bit of white didn't feel deep and I had buffed similar out on my black A8L...which is finding a new home as we speak.
By the way, my wife thinks I am geek about this car, well Porsche's in general. Some people just don't understand.

From my examination, the paint looks original. No tape marks, undercarpet in bonnet looks all factory, no bolts with touch up, rock chips are consistent on the car, plus there are some small scratches that would not be there if there was paint. I am no expert, but feel pretty good about my examination on that. However, I don't have one of those expensive paint meters...even the bumper hasn't been touched up and that is usually first.
Never heard about using an appraiser before and don't think that I could arrange it...the seller has been very flexible and I feel good about the PPI (already saved me money on another purchase I almost did). By the way...THANKS Rennlisters for pounding home the fact to spend the little money on a PPI, it is so worth it! The independent who is doing it has been in business with Porsche's for 30 years and came recommended from another shop I trust.
Tick, tock, tick, tock...will know more tomorrow.

Subjectively, I think the 993 C4S is the perfect late model 911. You get all the widebody chassis and brakes of the Turbo without the lag, plus it's easily converted to 2WD. It's a sleeper hotrod from the factory! : ) So I'm glad you've skipped the 996 and found the "real" 911 in the 993.
Now that I have a 997 C4S Cabrio, I can say the only car I wish Porsche had built (in modern times aside from the list of GT1, etc.) would be the 993 C4S Cabrio.
