Long time browser but finally signed up as my interest in the 993 has increased. I have stumbled upon an opportunity to own one - unfortunately it is nowhere near me and I have never driven one let alone sit in one.
A quick search shows the closest dealer to me with a 993 / manual gearbox to be about 3-4 hours away. I was hoping I could find someone closer to talk with about ownership, be a bit hands on with the car, even a nice ride and possible drive myself to see if it’s really the car for me. We can even trade cars for a stretch if you like! ( AMG GT )
I’m more than willing to drive to a location of your choice, grab you some lunch or something for your time, cash for gas, a 6 pack of your favorite ipa…whatever you like! lol
Since I am new I have a feeling I will not be able to receive DM’s. I’ll go out on a limb and include my phone number in case you should feel inclined to reach out. Please feel free to text any time you’d like!
You might have a hard time finding someone to toss you the keys since you are a brand-new member here. I would suggest the same advice I posted in another thread, but add the CVR to your list of PCA groups/events to target: https://rennlist.com/forums/new-engl...est-drive.html

Good luck
Completely understandable. This is sort of my last ditch effort aside from just flying out there to see the car myself. As mentioned, I don’t even necessarily expect to be able to drive it (although that would be nice haha)!
I greatly appreciate the suggestion and will certainly look into it.

Make a fun day trip out of it if you can get some seat time. Hell, the AMG GT seems designed for highway runs
I have driven 3.5 hours, done a track day in a cold nor’easter (LRP was NOT fun), and then driven 3.5 hours back home after the track day, so no excuses on not going to test drive the 993
I was curious to see how rare 993s had become, so I plugged Thompson, CT (central-ish for CT, MA, and RI) in Cargurus; looks like you should have a few, closer options based on your wants: https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...edEntity=c3405

haha yeah I definitely don’t mind the drive! But sitting in traffic for 3 of those 4 hours going through NY and Long Island is NOT fun. The other issue is my only day off is Sunday and most dealerships are not open 🥲 Also I should have mentioned the car I am
considering is an NB coupe - every car in a 200 mile radius is turbo or cab. I doubt miller will let me take out their $275k turbo for a spin lol besides the obvious missing roof would I find much different behind the wheel of the convertible?
