First timer seeking advice

[harjmatha]

Hello All

I have been reading posts on this forum for quite some time and find them insightful, informative and sometimes, very funny.

I have finally come to a point in my life when my four kids have flown the roost and with only the wife and my cat at home, I can indulge in getting myself something nice.........as my daughter puts it, my "menoPorsche".

I live in London, so speed isn't high on my list of priorities and am terrible with manuals. I LOVE the look and lines of a Porsche 993, totally, irrevocably, utterly so have been eyeing the 993 Targa/Coupe Tiptronic. I have been reading the posts on the pitfalls of ownership and condition! condition! condition! when buying a Porsche and will definitely have a PPI when I finally buy one, due to my limited knowledge.

I have a couple of cars for sale in mind and wonder if any of you know about them or can give me your views, the links to the cars are below;

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Good spot! Something to worry about?

Perhaps some of the photos aren't current, i.e. they switched to the Irish plate during ownership.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I will email the seller and find out.
