Default New to 993...Finally

I have always wanted a 993 and finally a friend in Omaha gave my right of first refusal and decided to sell his car. My preference was he not sell since the car was so much a part of his life but if he had to sell I had to buy it and ship it out to Seattle. The 993 is my favorite of all of the aircooled...a nice blend of the past heritage of aircooled and the newest technology (plus an climate control system I actually understand )

More about the car. I knew everything about the car and how it had been meticulously maintained. All of the original dealer documentation, brochures, dealer marketing collateral came with the car. The car has 51K miles, has not touched water in over 15 years, All original paint, leather shows no sign of wear and frankly looks like it just came off of the show room floor. While the car has an OEM aerokit on it, all of the original engine lid, center brake light and frontlip stuff also came with the car as well. And the best part it, drives better than any of my other older cars. Love driving it.

Here are some pictures. THe first off of the Plycar Truck

Congratulations on your latest purchase. It's a good looking 993 that seems to be joining an attractive collection of stable mates. The hollow spoke wheels are a great replacement for the chromed ones.
