Hey Chuck, sent you a p.m.

For the record....when I first started my search I was thinking low mileage only...less than 50m if at all possible...however, after finding my car on this site....with 78,900 miles.....I feel so much better...granted this car had been beautifully maintained and cared for but the key for me is this...I have no issues getting in and driving as much as possible. Had I elected to buy a car with 25m or 30m I'm afraid I would be tempted to keep the mileage down, keep it in the garage covered.

Again, with this 78m car, all I want to do is drive it and frankly that's what I looked forward to most when deciding to buy a 993.

I know of 5 993's with less than 30,000 miles.
My 97 C4s has 25,600 on the clock.
Make me an offer I can't refuse!

If life continues the way it's been going (another downsizing and a house that can not sell), my garage queen (<20K miles) may be on the blocks soon enough.

Would this be the 98 C2S for sale in T.O with 78,000 km's? If so, I inquired about this car yesterday and received information today that the car was sold yesterday!! That would be a coincidence eh? Anyways, beautiful car and good luck with it!

Derek,
That's the one. Can't wait to get it here to be able to put some miles on it before the bad weather gets here!
Good luck with your hunt, I know that i looked a long time but then again I was fairly particular about what I wanted.

Hi Bill, I'm not actively looking, lol, but I have to tell you that I'm really liking the looks of the silver C2S Tip with the red interior (at a Chicao dealer) that was depicted in another thread here recently. My current 993 cab is a tip, and I'm fine with it, but like you, I've always been somewhat curious as to the nature of the 993 driving experience in a coupe. I'd probably have to get rid of a couple of cars first, most likely the 968 & 928.

I've been lurking in the background soaking up knowledge from past posts. Seems like a great group of helpful folks here. I'm new to Porsche's and new to 911s', but not cars. Usual story, liked 911's since a kid. I'm looking for a manual C2S in Speed Yellow, White, Riviera Blue or ?......still learning about this fantastic car. Any help would be much appreciated.

I'll throw my hat in the ring. I have an ocean blue metallic C4S, second owner, all and meticulous records, awesome shape, sport seats, Pss9, ruf oil cooler, and more, have all orig parts. Never, tracked, no paint, etc. Not listing for sale, but I am still itching for a GT3 or another convertible, so if the unrefusable offer comes along....

Feel free to PM or email for details, but please do not if a bargain is what you are after. No interest in selling it cheap. No need to sell, just a feeler if someone wants this particular car/color.
