Pulled the trigger
I had decided that the time was not right to buy this car but then the seller made an offer I couldn't refuse. Car will hopefully ship next week. Passed PPI with flying colors. To quote the wrench who did the PPI: It has high miles, but it's been well cared for.
Now all I need to do is sell my 993. I really wish I could keep both. (I guess I will until April, when I will put more effort into selling it.)

996 C4S
I would think $30-35,000 would be a deal with good PPI. Check the coolant for any sign of oil. I am replacing my 3.4 L engine in my 01 996 with 57,000 miles on it. Perhaps the 3.6 L engine will not have this problem

DMW,
Do you have the 993 posted anywhere? I'd like to see it.

993 for sale
I can't figure out how to post a link to it from here, but it's posted over in the 993 forum. I just posted a new picture so it's near the top right now.

These cars will go high miles, you say the price is decent...go for it. This isn't your first P car so you already know what to expect . I think it sounds like a very reasonable deal for you. Concgats!

Dude, these cars aren't designed to blow up at 100,000 miles. If its a clean car, the PPI checks out, and you can budget a little in case something does come up, I say go for it. I would say mid to high 30's would be really good deal. I just paid a little over $50k for an '02 C4S with 27,000 miles, CPO, very clean car.

I always get a kick out of the guys who say "oh, that's too many miles" in one thread and then say "oh, that's too few miles" in another thread. I have been on this Forum for almost 3 years now and no one has ever offered the "correct" 
number of miles to put on a Porsche per year.

number of miles to put on a Porsche per year.No problems so far in the first year, unless you count $228 to completely redo my trunk latch. Somehow I don't think that would have come out in the PPI anyway...
