Default My old car up for sale...

Wish I could buy it back but bad timing makes that impossible. This is the strongest 993 I've ever driven. Great car and poorly advertised. Top end done at ~70k mi and has full OEM M030 suspension (including euro dampeners). The wheels are replicas so no unsprung weight savings and as most of you know, Polar is not "special order". I had deleted the badge and clearly the current owner did a **** poor job of reinstalling it. Anyway, just sharing my sadness at being locked out of the candy store.

If anyone is interested in this car locally, its a great car. I bought it from a long-time PCA DE instructor who took proper care of it and provided me with a thick stack of receipts worth of history. He sold it to take delivery of a new GT3. No affiliation.

If I could only talk him into selling those seats to me... Exactly what I need.

Great looking car (I know, I have one just like it!) and a good price especially considering the top end!

Nile, no Pole Positions?

Thanks for the comments guys. Price is good for Vancouver. Cars in Canada are more expensive and Vancouver is the most expensive because we have the cleanest cars. If the car were in the US, it might be lower priced. The car was spotless when I owned it and I'm sure the current owner took good care.

Just to comment on Vancouver...........couldn't believe how many torsion bar 911s I saw out and about there last weekend. And every cab had his top down! Wimpy Californians only go for that if it's about 80.

Not sure I saw any 993s; lots of late model Porsches of every variety, but you get that everywhere.

I have enough beating from a Sparco AssIron Deluxe in my coilovered Miata. No, thank you, heat and adjustments all around in a 993 for me, please.

Nice car Louis, though the badge issue needs to be addressed ASAP. Let's see, sell the powered/heated seats to Mike.S and install some Recaro PPs with blue leather upholstery. Hmmmmmm.....

Nice chatting Porsches with you last weekend Louis, even if things are a bit "foggy" to me now.x too many = foggy.

Ken: We start wearing shorts and driving with the top down as soon as we see blue sky and the thermometer hits 45. We know you're from out of town or fresh off the boat if you're wearing a sweater past March.

Nile: Totally understand. Very comfy seats but I warn you...full power and heat = 78lbs/side confirmed on a commercial scale.

Timmy: Ready for round two anytime. Let me know if you need a navigator on Saturday.

Will: I'm always happy to play Porsche enabler.
