Does anyone know this car or this dealer?

Would be interested in general comments.

Also what are people's views on the 100k mileage "barrier"? Does ticking past this have an instant effect on resale value with a 993?

Looks nice but has wrong wheels unless they were specced from new.

Regards the 100k 'barrier', its a load of old crap BUT yes it does affect the value, rightly or wrongly.

Mine is at 98k and when it passes I shall be celebrating!

Make sure it is all checked out properly, they are made well but there is plenty that could need fixing/replacing.

They are getting old now!

Wheels.

The weight of the Targa roof was offset (in part) with the hollowed split rim alloy wheels. This car does not have them fitted. Minor, maybe, but worth noting. Looks good but I think a bit pricey perhaps - maybe £1500 - 2000 over so room for negotiation me thinks ... IMHO anyway!

Check roof mechanism carefully - mine has just gone tits up! Drive the car at over 60mph to hear any wind whsitle.

Check the door check stays - this looks like one I looked at a few years ago and the doors had rusted out from the check stays downwards; i'm sure it is not the same car but worth checking.
