996 Turbo to 993 Turbo

[egbert]

I've seen a very nice looking white 993 turbo at the london lhd centre

http://www.londonlhdcentre.com/cardetail.asp?carIndex=160 

over 500bhp, moton shocks, lots of nice bits.

I'm feeling myself drawn to this beast, anyone have any views on switching from a 996 turbo to a 993 turbo?

Anyone know the car?

Any experience on higher mileages with the 993 TT?

edited to take link out then put it back in again, it's a free market I suppose.

Lat time I posted looking for opinions on a 996TT I had found cheaply a fellow PH'der popped over and bought it. No hard feelings as I was uming and ahing but I suggest you delet that link !! Love the TT in White BTW

Looks like a bargain!

We were offered the car, I had a look round and a drive. The most obvious thing to bear in mind is that amongst other things the car comes with no service history.

Oh, and where did you get the over 500bhp bit from ?

I was told it was tuned, is that not the case as far as you know/

Nice looking car, but the Nephrite Green interior is the rarest 993 interior colour for good reason!

Some people really must be very very drunk when they spec their cars....

I quite like it with the white ,,,, maybe black would work good also

Nice car and nice price.

Those seats though

Should think sourcing some originals wouldn't be cheap?

i'd have an issue with no service history personally.

Right.....no service history, white, dodgy coloured interior, getting to the point where with genuine miles one might need to look at the turbos....oh, and it's also lhd isn't it?

Suddenly £33k looks a lot of money - to me at least. Has Karl Virdi sold his RHD car yet?...that was that sort of money wasn't it?

[johnsuper]

imho, white is a good colour now, but it does not match the generation of 993TT.

What a shocking car..no history,white,poxy interior,left hooker..and at a second-hand car dealers. does it get any easier to avoid than that car?

[Adam B]

you won't be slipping out of those seats! green interior though but great value
