993 Forum 1995-1998

I'm guessing this will be a very short thread. Any original owners still here?

The last time this question was asked was 2007. Before that was another thread in 2006. Not many original owners at all compared to how many people are on Rennlist. These are the only ones listed in those threads. Some of these folks may not still have their 993's, while some do.

Richardew
MikeinChi
Ceboyd
Tom Pepper
Greg Fishman
Terry Adams

Now it's 2010. Are there even (5) 993 Rennlisters left here that are original owners of their 993? Original owners = bought it new from the dealer.

Even Sloan Cars has but 1 original owner 993 for sale right now.

Cheers,
Steve R

Not original, but kept it in the family. Bought it from my father-in-law with 8k on the clock. Awesome cars, I'm surprised not more are original owners.

Terry Adams sold his 993 (got a 997TT), but Don Thompson is the original owner of his 993TT.

I'm the original fourth owner.


Quick Reply: I'm guessing this will be a very short thread. Any original owners still here?
