Default New to me Arena Red Coupe

After 9 months of searching and finally convincing my wife I need one, my Arena Red over beige coupe has arrived home to Indiana. It was delivered by Intercity lines enclosed from California. 3 owners, 23 K miles, clean PPI etc. Pictures are from seller since it is cold and snowy here, took it out for a short spin...wow, made the right choice. The color is spectacular. Thanks to this board for the wealth of information available and to those who answered by numerous PM's about the market. Now my questions will really begin

Beautiful car. The interior looks new. Congratulations, I hope spring comes soon! BTW, where the heck are all these low mile cars coming from?

Very nice, enjoy!! What did you think of intercity?? I might need to use them for a car that is in Boise, Idaho. And if you don't mind sharing, how much was the cost? PM if you prefer. Thanks.

Oh, one more thing. Though previous owner pics are a good start, pictures in it's new home are a must! Curious to see it's stance on flat ground, looks like those were taken partly on a curb. Anymore details like mods etc?

Congrats on the car! I had a pic of an Arena Red 96 C4 taped to my computer for a year or 2 before I actually bought a 993. Couldn't find the perfect Arena Red one so I ended up with boring silver instead.

As for Intercity, everyone here will probably tell you the same thing as me... I shipped my last purchase 4 years ago, a 2001 BMW 740i from Bellevue WA to Silver Spring MD 2750 miles and it was the best $2200 I ever spent. It was immaculately delivered when it got here.

Good luck,
Steve

Will try to get new pictures if the weather breaks... No mods. Wheels are speedline, trying to research type and if they were OEM. Will need to replace shift **** (worn), debating Dark rookwood which will cost me $600 new if i can find it, or trying to get used or OEM beige. Nothing else planned at this time

Wheeze-- IMHO, the world can never have too many:

- 993s

- Arena Red Metallic 993s!

Great job making the world a more beautiful place
Enjoy the new ride & the new year

Congrats too, from one AR owner to another.

I keep forgetting to take my photos too and I've had this one a month now. Maybe Sat.
