Default thinking of buying 993 TT

I've had a few P-cars but I am thinking of buying a low mileage 993TT. I love the air cooled cars and love the feel of this last generation of car, never have owned a turbo but am excited about the possibility. What I am wondering about are the mechanical issues that are particular to the 993 and the turbo as well -- including anything annoying (rattles, buzzes, notchy shifters, etc.) that get in the way of the driving experience. Thanks for any information.

It's all relative to the condition of the car and how the past owner maintains it. That said, valve giudes are common issues . mod addictions are the problems. among us all here.lol . do a search on this forum and you'll be blown away with all the relevants info.

there is nothing like the look, and feel of a 993tt,
not to mention pitching it sideways on a country road occasionally...

The 993TT is one of the finest cars Porsche ever made. You will not be sorry if you buy one (of course that right one that has been checked out first).

Thanks for the encouragement and information guys. Hopefully, within a few weeks I'll post a thread containing photos of the new car.
