Default Porsche 993

Hello all. Shout out to all Porschephiles out here. I am in the market for a 993 (95-98) preferably a coupe, S or 4S, 6-speed, and not black nor white.

Anybody that's got one and want to get rid of it pm please. Or maybe you know someone who would...

P.S. I'm searching the usual suspect websites. Just though to give it a shot here, who knows? I rather avoid brokers/dealers if possible [emoji106]

Thanks!

Owned a '97 for a good long while. My favorite car ever. Best of luck in the search.

Thanks all. Obviously I'm in no hurry so hopefully the right car is out there. Fingers crossed 🤞

That's Seinfeld's old Turbo S. Great car.

Didn't see any on the Porsche used car tab that you'd be interested in? Saw a couple 4S' and S' -- may have to jump on a plane; but if you want one bad enough it's unlikely it will come from within your area (I don't know where you're located -- high density populated city or 300 miles from one).

Best Sir & good luck,

Bib

Default Porsche 993

Thank you Bob, you are indeed correct. I live in a small town within 3 hours of Dallas. All my options are far away and I knew this. My mechanic is willing to drive with me to inspect a car, but flying to see a car is another thing. He's pretty busy.
I am looking into a few possibilities on PCA.org, but so far nobody has answered my email inquiries.

In this matters, rushing gets you nowhere, or worse yet, in trouble...

Hector, in my area (Philly) 993 prices have skyrocketed in the past year or so, especially turbos. Shame you didn't make a move a few years back ...........
