thinking of a 993 targa
Discussion
After recently selling my stunning 996 c4s im now looking for my next car. As per title thinking of looking at a few see if they will suit me. Owned boxsters before the 911 but never something as old as a 993. Anything other than the usual serviceable items i should look out for and anyone owned one before any good bad experiences?
Another thumbs up from me. Lovely looking car the targa as it has the smoothest profile of all 993s from side and rear.
I got the occasional squeak/creak but I found that using some dry marine lubricant dealt with 95% of them (useful full stop, not just on the roof)

The sunblind came off once when I had it but its very simple to put back on if you have a couple of screwdrivers and an allen key.
With the typical british summer we are currently experiencing I think a targa is the perfect option, even when its spotting with rain the glass roof creates a very light and airy cabin ambience and if you want the cocooning coupe effect, then simply close the blind.
Colour is important though as the tinted roof doesn't look so good against some body colours, IMHO silver doesn't work very well.
Nothing else to report, 993s are pretty sound. Due to age do the usual rust checks along windscreen/doors/sills. Otherwise buy on condition/history and you should be laughing.
