For what it's worth - When I looked at my 993 on the web, it appeared like it had some mismatched color between panels. When I went to see it in person and looked at the areas of concern, they looked great. If the paint is questionable (unless it's very obvious), I think you really need to see the vehicle in person before ruling it out.

PPI showed no deal breaker, trying to negotiate a price. If I get it, I will post pics and become a paying member of this forum.
Thanks guys.

Funny..I just looked and the car he was interested in is still showing on Autotrader. Hopefully it's an old ad and the car has a new owner!

My baby is now in the garage. Hurt my back and have not driven him much. I've named him "Wagner" but the wife calls him "VW" as in Viagra on Wheels

PPI went well, planning on flushing the brake system on Friday, waiting for leatherique products, want to lower ride, but will wait and change suspension, and add My 02s or Turbo Twists next year? Rennlist really helped a lot in the learning curve.
