Asking was $28, which would have been fine with me. This has to be one of the top 5 deals in the last 3 years since I've been around. Last year, there was a guy in Toronto(?) who stole an Arena C2 with similar price/miles/condition.

My pleasure, Tony. Kudos to you for a prompt introductory post with pix

, & especially Mike (Arena993) for starting a thread about a 993 FS without affiliation, & being the hero who helped get her to her new CO home. Selflessness like that makes this place great.

To return Mike's RL altruism, I recommend we all keep an eye out for any cab that will get him back into the 993 owners club!

Mike-- Glad you're on the hunt; always impressive to see what you do with your P-cars. Can't wait

Good of you to avoid temptation and post it up here for someone else!

Perfect excuse to buy your very own

Money talks I guess. $27,997. I also managed to squeeze in a clause that if the inspection wasn't to my sat, I got a full refund. They were awesome to deal with.

J.A.W.S. - I knew I was buying the car, but didn't want to say anything until it was 100% mine. I still love your color/wheel/tire combo. Perfect balance!

Thanks again guys, Day 2 and I'm still in shock. I did lots of driving today just enjoying the car and mountain views.

-Tony

Congrats Tony. I was in the same position as you this time last year when I bought my C2. I'm still smiling every time I drive her! I start slipping next week when I get my RUF wheels!!!! Enjoy in good health.

My best friend lives in Glenwood Springs. He has a Harley Superglide and a dog named "Harley" to boot. I'd love someday to drive one of my Porsches out & about the Colorado roadways to visit my friend.

Glenwood Springs is a great place. Hot springs, great mountain setting, great fly fishing too. I live here, and I am envious of him too! I'm a Harley fan, but don't ride as much with 3 young kids. Still, I could never sell it. It would be a itch I would only have to scratch again.

Texas993, I thought that was CO, but I have seen many pics of Montana and even Utah that remind me of here. Great Avatar

Thanks again for the comments all!

I satisfied by 993 dream just over a year ago and still have the same excitment driving mine now as I did when I picked it up. Only mods so far for me are the Fister III's... a must do, and a pedal set. Perfectly happy where it is (except that I'd like it to be in CO... very jealous!)

Beautiful car!
