Agreed to terms on a 97 993tt I found nearby. Arctic/blk with sport seats, litronics, CD changer. Clutch has been done already as well as new Bilstein HD's. The owner is OOT so I cannot pick it up until the middle of the month. Very excited!!

75k miles. Passed the PPI well. I figure in the future if I am going to end up doing a RUF or Proto powerkit, might as well use a higher mile steed to start. For now, I am just going to play with it stock.

Congrats looks like a great car!

I can relate to your reasons for picking up a higher mileage car. Basically in the same boat

No, unfortunately not. If I could, I would put it on a rotisserie to show off the underside.

Congrats Eclou,

IF you do a powerkit? You mean WHEN.

Mine goes under the Proto knife in a few weeks. Unfortunately where I live (upstate New York State), winter come in with a bang by December, so I won't be able to test my upgrade until next spring.

These tuned 993TT's should keep us distracted until the 997GT2 comes around.

What happened with the sapphire 96 @ lotus in AZ? I would have thought you could have worked them off that 54K. Then again there's nothing better then finding one in your back yard...best of luck.

I could not get my "board of directors" to approve the blue/blue color combo, and that car would also require additional transport monies to acquire. I was able to negotiate this silver one to a more modest closing price also.
