Default Considering a 993TT - What do I need to know

I am seriously considering the purchase of a 993TT.

What are the potential problem areas that I should focus on in a pre-purchase inspection? Any thoughts on a reasonable price for a 1996 in good condition with 35 to 45K miles.

tim you got unlucky i have had mine for 2 1/2 years and just hit 70k miles and besides normal maintenance have not had any issues. If you find the right car everything will be fine, i don't know of any others on here that had the same bad luck as you.
