Good luck with the sale Agent... looks like a great 993.
Yes ... every minute of every waking hour. I yamnot to be trusted ..

Agent ... agreed, good luck with the sale :-)

Now, what about that pretty Slate Grey Cab with only 53K miles on it for $29K? Am I missing something over there??

A coupe is worth much more than a cabby, right?

much more, I doubt that.

more, I would say in general, "yes"

However, all depends on the car, so above statement is comparing apples to apples.

The Cab seems to have early Cup wheels?

Ed, I think those are the original standard wheels for '95 993s, offered in 16". Most folks/dealers decided to upgrade to 17" cups when ordering, hence the relative rarity of finding a 993 with the original 16s. Which might be exactly what you are saying by "early cups." Can't say that I'm a fan of them. It's amazing the difference 1" makes

^Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Standard equipment 16s they are.

As JP stated, the car has the early softback sport seats. These ones also have the "supple leather" option not available on the later hardback version sport seats. IMO, the earlier softback sport seats are better at doing what the name implies and are more comfortable.....if you fit.

Well, yeah. But then there's the look of the hardbacks. Oh, and it sure looks like some owner along the way didn't fit so well, given that bolster wear. Minor, yeah sure. Hey, if it's so minor how about it gets fixed?

Yes, I have the ultra rare and extremely desirable 16s Cups.

If they didn't come with the car, I would launch them into lake never to be seen again.
