what do you think of this car? classic 993 with deep RSparts
Discussion
Hard to say. He's got a lot of nice bits on it, but it's so hard to evaluate on the basis of the crappy mobile.de pictures. I went to look at what by all accounts was a stunning lowish mileage speed yellow 993 a couple of weeks back, and though I was knocked out by the pictures, the car turned out to be a dog upon inspection.
The owner says the paint is "very good" and that there is nothing special about it except its RS parts. he tracked it "once" he says, in hockeinheim, but gave it up because it's expensive.
I don't have the feeling this one will be stunning to look at either. But all those RS parts for that price..

Kay, I don't know whether you want/need to run this on Austrian plates, but modifications tend to make the import process a lot harder since the official importer can't just confirm the type approval stuff.
Cathar, what exactly do you mean the "type approval stuff"? The exhaust is changed, and is louder, but if it is road-legal in Munich, shouldn't it be road legal here as well?
Will a car modified to this extent be considered different from a normal one?
Keep in mind, I won't have to pay NOVA.

How long have you been in Austria? You should know about bureaucracy here..
The way it works is that if you import a car, you can go to the official Austrian importer (Porsche Austria), who will confirm that it complies with the Austrian type approval for that specific model, and then he'll give you a "Typenschein". Now if the car has been modified, it won't comply, since there's no type registered that has some RS parts, but not all of them...
So you have to do a single vehicle approval ("Einzelgenehmigung" ) where they check that the car complies with all local regulations, which might result in you getting a Typenschein that's only valid for this specific car (I did this for my Seven).
Oh, and then you have to pay 16% Normverbrauchsabgabe (NoVA) on top of what you paid in Germany in order to be able to register it here.
Bottom line: If you want hassle-free import, you need to get a 100% original, unmodded car, and you should speak to the importer 1st about getting a Typenschein.
Sorry...

I assume the "Einzelgenehmigung" specific for my automobile is somewhat expensive?

That hassle, at least, I will not have to do (diplomat).

Kay, I actually don't remember how much it was.
BTW, people like www.kfz-coaching.at/ can do this for you. No idea if they're good, though.
