Sorry to be boring, but I respect the 'knowledge' available on here.
I'm thinking I may sell the old girl... I just don't use it really, and have only done about 1k miles per year for the last 5 years. Although that's more use than perhaps it sounds as I would probably use it ten weekends for an average hundred miles or so, and mine's a garage babe for the winter months.
Anyway... would appreciate your thoughts. £?
August '97 'R' reg
C4 Coupe
Manual
Ocean Blue/ Savannah (black dash)
White dials
Air conn
Sunroof
18" hollows
Big ovals
(all the above as it came from the factory)
69500 miles
It's had 4 owners, and I've had her 14 years.
It's had all heatshields done a few thousand ago, new clutch and dmf about 3k ago. Excel wheel refurb 3 years ago.
Fantastic history file including original sales invoice, service bills, mots etc. etc. (I used to think it was an 'exceptional' history file but it seems most good 993s have similar.)
So basically it's a reasonable mileage car, unchanged from its factory spec.
Paintwork is not great.... stone chips to front end and edges of rear arches, and a few swirls. looks amazing when Zaino'd, but the stone chips still evident.
It drives beautifully, and the few specialists (jzm/pct) I've used remark on it having one of the smoothest gearboxes they've experienced.
Downsides....? None really.... apart from paintwork, and unless you really think Savannah is suicide, or couldn't live with comfort seats!
What you reckon? £? ...... and can I let her go!?!?
Would it be best to get her painted, or leave her 'genuine as-is'?
Thanks
Will
