Default I DID IT!

After having missed on a couple of cars over the last month, I finally decided quit the chase and pull the trigger on one of Ray's 993TT. So... now I am the proud owner of a Polar Silver/Midnight Blue 1996 993TT. 9000 miles. Paid and invoiced, the car should be making it trek West and be delivered with 2 weeks (fingers crossed).

Sweet car, Congrats! From what I remember the interior was damm near perfect. The only thing I didn't like about it was the rear emblem delete, but you can always put one on later.

Owzer, did you buy it sight unseen? Are you doing a PPI and leak-down?

Sweet, welcome, I love that color. I purchased both of my 993's from Ray, sight unseen and no issues, were you able to negociate off the asking price?
