Anyway really nice one owner 17,000 miles C2S vesuvio metallic with hard back sport seats.

Somebody is having a really nice Christmas.

Did the car have the buy it now listed in the ad originally? I think I remember seeing the ad, but don't remember the Buy it now price being there...I would have bought it if I would have seen it! Very fair price for that car!!!

Fair price if the car had no historical issues.

Nice car, price seems good if it's as nice as described. I've never seen one with aluminum colored mirrors, I didn't even know that was an option.

Niether did I. I wonder if the mirrors and rear grills were painted by the PO or if they came that way from the factory.

That's a nice 993 for a fair price.... if there are no stories.

The vesuvio S was a special car with the side mirrors and the split grill painted silver.
It's factory like this.

Very interesting car. What's 'adaptive' about the sport seats? I know that current Porsche sport seats are available in adaptive form, but I've never heard that term used to describe 993 sport seats.

Those aren't 997 "adaptive" sport seats, they're just 993 sport seats.

I am looking for a daily driver so I hesitated to use the Buy it Now, I know that is stupid.
Anybody has any lead on a nice 6 speed coupe with the right mods (e.g. Pss9/10, etc.)?
I am running out of time I need to deliver my current daily (Boxster S) to his new owner within a month or two max.

Thanks !!!!
