Does anyone know where I can find a nice clean 993 for 20 grand?
Thanks!

Andreas, I don't bother keeping a file with invoices, but if I do keep invoices, they are in a PDF format on the hard drive.

I also keep an Excel spreadsheet where codes do the tallying up of Maintenance, Parts, Books, Tools, etc. for me.

Yes, there is one in your avatar?

Bigger year, slippery slope upgrades, tires, and lots of lines / plastic bits in the engine area replaced after a few started to leak oil / vacuum w/ some pro diagnostics to find them.

I won't add them all up, but multiple thousands but still cheaper then 12 payments on a GT3 4.0 or Cayman R

But the smiles per mile are excellent!

Your costs could have been a lot higher this year had there not been an angel watching over the both of us when you decided to off-road the 9 a few months back

Good thread
I find it interesting in relation to the pricing threads that the spread between a "good deal" and "over priced" is less than what many have done in maintenance over the last year.
