Yep, all original. I had the stone guards removed due to there poor appearance, just never got around to replacing them. The back script I have, , I can't recall the reason why it was off when I purchased, but I liked the looks without it. With all I have read, I'm having second thoughts about selling. Now Trying to justify having 2 p cars in the family. ..sure that's a whole other thread

OP - a few thoughts. If you are going to sell, fix the switches for sure. Replacing the brake pads would likely mean replacing the rotors too, so you're call on whether you'd want to DIY it and raise the asking price of leave it and let the buyer sort it out. Regarding the oil leaks, see if the lower valve covers are what is leaking. If they are that should be an easy DIY that will help boost the asking price.
Odds are the chain cover gaskets are leaking too (like mine do). If so just watch the oil level, add oil as needed, and drive.
I would say keep the 993. A Cayenne is a totally different beast (that's 958 right?). Plus 130k miles is only moderate mileage in my opinion (I've got 171k here) for a car that's actually being driven and not just polished. Good luck!

NYC - what I did was pick at a general attitude about these threads. I did not highlight someone's opinion and trash them. There is a difference, but I can see your point. It was my intention to point out to the OP why he was not getting helpful responses, but I apologize to anyone that took offense to having that attitude and being called a yahoo. As for the unprovoked attack on my comment I am also happy to meet that person for further discussion or he could apologize. Either way works for me, but I expect neither. It has become second nature for people like quad to trash people indiscriminately because there are no consequences. The mods don't care and, what I find is funny, is that when someone stands up to these people they become the bad guy. Anyway, the OP is likely long gone as this has derailed, which I take my portion of fault for. Hopefully he finds answers elsewhere or better yet decides to keep his 993.
Also, I just hired Freddie Roach. should have plenty of training time for our May rumble

There are DIY 's on Brake Jobs. Not too bad after u do the first corner.
Maybe there is a Fellow Rl'er near by to hold the beer? Ooops Meant assist by Consulting.
I did my first Last Year and it went very well.
Took my time and did it in an evening.
Some people used to believe if u sell take the Non-Stock Parts off the Car, It will sell easier and higher $. Not sure that applies today?
As others have suggested: I concurr, Spend a day or Two and complete as many DIY's as u can - which I believe will help bring a higher sale $, if thats what u decide to do.
Cheers

Don't mean to derail this derailment, but this may be a good replacement for one of the OP's (remember the OP?) broken seat switches. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-Seat...-/151640080031 But the best advice comes from KBell, don't sell it!
