Guys,

I'm looking to buy a 993 turbo having just sold my TVR Cerbie (subject to cheque clearing). I have two questions, one, does anyone know where I can find a good one? There don't seem to be too many about at the moment. Two, any tips, things to look out for?

Cheers, Steve

Err, thanks derestrictor.

Can we assume you've had a liquid lunch today? All good sound advice in all the posts. I've been looking for the last few days and have only spotted about 10 cars for sale in the whole country and all (even LHD) are £45K plus. What I really need is a Pistonheader selling his beloved 993 Turbo S for a 996 Turbo. What are the chances of that happening?

Cheers, Steve

Phil / Don,

Yeah, I spotted that one and may well go and have a look. At least I'll be able to gauge what a mint car would look like. I've spent the weekend going around the local dealers and seem to have hit upon a glitch. The problem is I really, really like the 996TT. Doh! now I'm going to have to find an extra £25K from somewhere. The 993's just didn't really do it for me they just seem a little dated inside. Maybe they'll grow on me as I'm quite a way off the extra £25K.

Yep,

Spotted that one, it's looks fantastic. I rang BCR, who have it listed at £76K Which they feel is a fair price as only 35 cars came to the UK. A future classic maybe. It's outside what I was hoping to pay though. For that money I'd be able to get a 996TT.

Photek,

Either one of those would suit me fine, but I really wanted RHD, they are both LHD So I'll keep looking it might be quite a while at this rate.
