But this is RL and what we do. We can comment since this isn't actually a paying vendor It's the OTHER listing we are supposed to just say "GLWS, should sell quickly at that price. Someone will be the new happy owner soon"

We could talk about how much you would sell me your 95 993 c2 Polar Silver for I sold the same car about 3 years ago and miss it dearly. The GT4 is great but nothing is as beautiful as the lines of the 993 Especially with the aero kit I can not recall another car other than a 993 that you enjoy hearing the door shut.

What, this old thing?

That would be a short discussion

There's nothing like the sound of an air-cooled Porsche.
Enjoy.

That is indeed a beauty. And polar is perhaps my favorite all-time silver offered by Porsche.

I had CAT bypass pipes with stock muffler and it sounded awesome! All my pics went away when my wife's computer crashed. I still try and find photos of it these days.

Unfortunately that setup would be problematic here in California. But I'd love to do it.

Ocho, Sorry you miss your 993, but your statements reaffirmed my decision to keep mine even when I hit the GT4 lottery. My wife thinks I'm crazy. I knew I would regret it the moment I let it go.

Truth be told, I've considered selling either my 993 or '87 Carrera and getting a Cayman 981 to use as a DD. But I know I'd regret letting either of the air cooled cars go so I'm looking at less expensive 987.2s instead. Tough to replace these older cars, especially with what's happened to prices over the last few years.

Agreed. Tough to sell a car that is appreciating each year to replace with a car that is still headed the other way.

Love my 993.

+1, those 993/964/930's are classic iconic P-cars.

No thanks, I'd get a Carrera GTS for that money, 430hp oh yeah, center locks oh no!
I had both, sold the 50th. The gt4 is THAT GOOD.

FWIW, Livermore happens to be a RL sponsor in the 996 forum, but most folks know better than to support insane market adjustment prices.
