Anyone know this 993 in Gainesville, GA?
I have emailed and called the number listed on this AT ad, but no response. Does anyone here know the car or is it possible it belongs to someone here? I looked in the RL classifieds, but didn't see it. Thanks

Don't know said car but like the color combo. My 2 cents:
Pluses: seems owned by enthusiast at some pt in time given the MODs are quite tasteful, except for the red seat belts...
Minuses: if still on original clutch and top end hasn't been rebuilt, at this mileage... you know where I'm heading. Bottom line is it's a crap shoot. Might be OK for a few more years, or new owner be out $7-10K shortly after purchase...
Find out where owner services the car and chat up the shop to get repair/maintenance history. If indeed owned by P-car enthusiast, the shop should be familiar to this board.

If it's spent it's life with the right people, well driven and cared for...I would not personally be worried about the stock clutch or Top end. Both these items have lasted twice as long in many MANY cases. Other cars have needed both in 30K miles.
Car looks nice, seems well cared for, and is priced very fairly. PPI naturally, and any clutch issues will be VERY apparent, you know the leak down/compression test suggestions.
If it's a color combo you like...follow up, and fast.
Good Luck!

I'm nearby and would be happy to assist. Say the word, PM me. EDIT...Ooops, I see the OP is in nearby Cumming, GA.
A recent former PCA president is my neighbor - even named the private road leading to his home Carrera Court. I'll ask if he knows the MY95 993 coupe.
The Autotrader discription is lacking in detail, nebulous actually .... I'm just saying.

Great looking car (except for the red belts) and nice mods. Can't tell if its running PSS9 or 10's. In any case for the money you're getting a lot of car. I especially like the Euro tail lights and have a pair sitting at my parents house in the UK waiting for installation on the 993.

Sent PM.
The engine tray is in place... The PSS9's or 10s dampers (not vanila style street dampers) seem's out of place with the rootwood steering wheel and shift ****. Or is that just me....
Certaintly worth a close look ....
