Keep your 997 for drop top days and daily duty rain or shine.
Dump the 964. The 993 is the replacement you want for your air cooled keeper.
Having a 964 and a 993 are too much the same. Unless you are a collector and do not care, the 964 will be parked for ever next to a 993 when it comes time to grab the keys. Think of a 993 as a better 964.
It would be like buying a 996 and a 997. Why bother with a 996?
For a 993 purchase, consider the color interior and exterior you can live with, and look for the lowest mileage non modified example you can find for you budget.

The 997 is a brilliant car. But for me now it's just too easy to drive ant not exciting. Unless of course I'm doing a silly amount of speed. I simply want the involvement and engagement of what Porsche was every day.

How much are you looking to get your 997S for?
After seeing this post, I (just a little bit) toying with the idea whether I should upgrade my Narrow body (1995) C2 for your 997S.
My car is pretty much stock except for the Fister Stage 2 exhaust and lowered using the ROW Spring. My car is in prestine condition. I am also located in NJ.
By the way, my car is Polar Silver with Marble gray interior. The car currently has 41K +/- miles.
I am attaching the picture for you to review. If the price is right for me, I might be parting it =)
pm me if u need more info

Hello all,
I've had a 997 C2S cab as my daily driver for a while and I've recently acquired a 964 RSA. The 964 completely turned my head around as to what a 911 should be. I've decided to go air cooled only with my life. Thus I'm seeking a 993 coupe to replace my 997. I've a budget in the mid 40k range. So any out there who might wish make a move on your 993 or know a great example I would very much appreciate the help. I'd also like to say this board has been a great source of information and enjoyment and cemented my intent to obtain a 993. Thanks to all.
Regards,
T.

Hi T.
Can't believe I am actually posting this but I am going to be putting my 993 up for sale very soon. Here is some information:
1996 C4
Mileage = 28,500
Color = Black on Black
Bone Stock except for the addition of OEM 993 Hollow Spoke Turbo Twist
Outside Appearence = 9 out of 10. No dents or dinks. Usual tiny chips on front bumper
Inside Appearence = 9.5 out of 10.
Bought car from Holt Motorsports in 2007. Only reason I added that is because most people on this site recognize that Holt is one of just a few trusted and respected dealers known for selling only top quality 993s
Serviced annually by certified Porsche mechanic
No issues whatsoever since purchase
Price $40,000
I am in NJ also. Not sure where you live (North or South) Email if you would like pictures or to discuss more.
