Default Finally Purchased My 993 C2!!

Well after my 5 page post, and all your much appreciated advice, I pulled the trigger on a '95 Blk/Blk 6spd coupe with 86,600mi Thanks guys, I was concentrating on '96-'98, but this car was so clean, all the paperwork including, PPI, maintenance, receipts, clean carfax, and window sticker, and your education regards, ''95's, it was a no-brainer! Delivered mid $30's Thank you!! I'm hooked!

Now the questions start...Yes I know "search" is my friend, but appreciate chatting with you guys too. Believe me I will be doing both.

First question, it has RH 18" turbo twists/Bridgestone Potenza's. is that a bad thing? What are they worth, if I were to sell the set?

Any info on the RH repro wheels? can't find too much information on them, doesn't seem to be a bad wheel.

beautiful car! will put smiles on your face for years to come! black is a stunning color...for the first 10 minutes or 1 mile after it's washed/waxed.

Thanks guys. The pedals especially the clutch takes some getting used to. Guess I'll just have to drive it a lot

The '95s manufactured in mid to late '95 came without the basket handle which makes this car one of what many consider to be the best of both worlds, OBD1 and no basket handle!

Looks like the steering wheel has be covered with perforated leather at some point as well.

Congrats on a beautiful car and welcome to the family

What are the part numbers on the wheels? That will tell me if they are hollow spoke or solid spoke wheels and thereby set the price point for them.

Congrats. Nice car.

There are a few types of twist wheels:

The standard solid twists (likely what the car came with from the factory), a hollow spoke twist (most desireable and lightweight), and similar boxster wheels. The Boxster wheels are less desireable on the 993 because they aren't the ideal size.

You can definitely can find a buyer for them if you choose to sell. I have a set in my basement and I will restore my car to OEM if I ever sell.

Are you sure about this? I have an early 96 and it has a basket handle. Plus I'm fairly sure Tim Holt told me that the basket handles were on till early 96.
Anyway, nice car and great deal. Best, Bob

Wow, was there an option? Doesn't look like any body work has been done. I sure like it the way it is!

My 1995 C4 has a June 1995 build date and also came from the factory without a basket handle. I believe March 1995 build date was the cut off when they dropped the basket handle. And many pre March 1995's have since undergone a basket handlectomy. What's the build date on your car?
