I currently have a Gen 2 997 and I love it; great car. However, I am keen to experience different Porsche flavours, so to speak, and I keep hearing about the magic of air cooled cars.
So, if I was to buy a 993 (probably a C2 manual), what pros and cons should I expect? I'm aware that ongoing maintenance costs will be a fact of life, but I've spent £10k in the last year on my 997, so that's not an issue.
I suppose what I would like to know is two things really:
1) why should I buy one? and
2) why shouldn't I buy one?
Budget is flexible but let's say up to £70k for a decent one. I keep looking at Sponge's old car - the Guards Red one at 911Virgin. I don't care about A/C but I do care about about resale value. Why hasn't it shifted?
Cheers, Mike.
