Hi All,
I'm a huge 993 fan. Dreaming about them since 1993!
After a spate of modern 911's I'm currently running a 997 GTS Coupe PDK. She's up for sale and I'm considering moving to a 993 Carrera Manual with around £55k budget to play with leaving some cash back to tinker and improve. I've only ever driven one 993 Carrera manual, but I remember it being quite a visceral experience and I appreciate they are wildly different to modern 911's. Not quick, but certainly fun!
Anyway, I have this stupid thing mentally where I don't like to see high miles on my cars. I know it's crazy and condition is key, but it tends to put me off as I'm searching seeing cars with over 100k miles on. AND I know that these cars are 30years old and therefore over 100k isn't high, but I just wondered what people's view on mileage for these beauties is and whether I should be looking for sub-100k milers?
Also, do they need a pile of maintenance and replacement parts 30 years on?
Also also, is a Cab a bad move?
Cheers,
Dave
