^ hey bro, thanks and not at all, you are more than welcome to ask

actually that specific car had a Carrera S badge on it so it's not the same car, although i don't remember its interior colour

I found an amazing wide body 993 S2 in kuwait (that's what I wanted to email u about Ali) I was so close to flying out and buying it, but in reality the time is not right. maybe I should keep taps on who buys it.

STRASSE : PORSCHE 993 C2 TARGA TIPTRONIC

Porsche : *** FINAL PRICE REDUCTION *** Rare black 993 carrera 2 targa ***

This isn't bad:

Autofficina : Porsche 911 Carrera 2 (993) Targa

Just for you:

The School Garage. : Porsche 993 Carrera 2 Targa.

To be honest the prices are too much for a 3rd car. I'd rather spend that money on an 89 turbo coupe as it's more of a classic.

Buddy not feeling the yellow emblem, looks home made, and please forget the bronze idea on the wheels Turquoise with silver accents is nice, yellow calipers work great, car looks awesome as it is

Nice upgrades, get the 996 TT wheels and paint the rear emblem oem colour.

the iris blue is definitely the best one imo, not because of the yellow/gold targa emblem but because of the sport seats, that alone is 3.5k quid in my book! not sure if carpets are oem but regardless, very nice and the dash is a plus.
most importantly, i can relate to the price and honestly think that with a ppi/test drive you cannot go wrong with it.
what does he mean by high miles? over 250k km?
the others, yes, definitely overpriced imo and a 930/993tt is a much more suitable prospect for that kind of dough.

i would definitely recommend checking out the iris in person

bronze wheels are long forgotten, never bought into the idea and just threw it out there to stir the pot and see what you guys can come up with. anything yet?
i am liking the clean silver finish now, it goes with the clears in the front imo.
yellow emblem is staying personally love it, but i will keep an eye out when my cousin drives and i tail it to see why you bunch of mofos are being offended thanks for the honesty Felix, always appreciated mate

thanks bojwais. 996tt imo wheels would be a waste of money and effort, not worth it as it is nothing special and no lip = no go.
let me know when your friend is back please, regarding the OZ AMGs 7amood!

personally, i do NOT mind the body + interior work. in fact, bodywork is kind of impressive. i am not a purist in that sense and do not care if a car was even in an accident if it was addressed correctly. owner seems like a straight shooter and i like his disclosure. papers seem legit + easily double checked.
my pov is: you will know once you drive it.
the engine/tranny rebuild will require a 993 expert to drive it as well to recognize if anything needs work.

what are YOU thinking?
