Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

Hi All

A friend of a friend has asked my advice about buying this 993....

This is the car in car & classic , its at DRC Motors

http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C199408/


He has never owned a Porsche before and is a huge distance away (North of Scotland) so cannot come and see it unless its very worthwhile...

Now, I know a lot about 928s but not much about 993s...

I have explained all about PPIs to him and Porsche warranties...although this is too old i think for the warranty.

Could any 911/993 owners give me some opinions on the car.condition/price etc etc

The dealer has said this >>> "car has history file, MOT's etc., no respraying, no damage, correct tyres, receipts and they welcome any inspection.
"

How true that is, I have no idea lol

But would appreciate your input......

All the best Brett

Hi Brett

Looks to expensive to me for its age (N plate) (95 early 96)

If it hasn't had its 48K service then that costs an arm and a leg and discs only last about 45K, another arm and a leg including shims, sensors and pads

Has been messed about with IMHO. Rear track looks wide and wheels are not original

Also the vendor is not well known as a Porsche dealer IMHO

My rationale is that if it was a really good one then one of the noted dealers in the area would be trying to sell it as good ones do not hang about long

Bit skinny on the spec info ! It my have the right tyres but not the right wheels

This guys site may help with a good buyers guide
