Default WTB 993 - still searching!

I thought maybe it was just me; however it seems as if there are more than a few of us looking w/ little success. I've been lurking and learning for several years and now that I'm ready to buy I can't find one

I have become more specific as to criteria which may be hurting me. That said, maybe being more specific will catch the attention of that owner who's thinking of selling but just hasn't posted. I’ve also been searching Cars.com, Autotrader, Pelican…even Ebay.

Looking for: Narrow body coupe in any year, ideally mileage in 40K-60K range w/ no issues. Top end and clutch replaced on higher mileage cars. Complete records, well sorted, and ideally w/ the following mods/features; ROW height/suspension, exhaust, SW chip, turbo twist wheels, full leather. Silver or black preferred however may consider a few others. Interior black – maybe grey or red.

This site has been invaluable…special thanks to all of those who have provided search advice along the way. I’m located in the Mid-Atlantic. While I’d love to find a car within a couple hundred miles I’m willing to travel for the perfect one.

William: this is over your preferred mileage (its at 88k) but has many of the other things you are desirous of...

Good luck with your search.
It gets a little frustraiting at times but as a fellow Rennlister said to me "You will find one".

Let me put things into perspective a little. Here in Australia there are currently 5 narrow body manual coupes for sale, one being a Targa.

You reckon you got it bad!

My car has more miles, but you won't find one that is more sorted.

"just not interested in paying the S premium"

That Rennlister C2 at $27k would be perfect for you.
