Looking to buy a 993 soon and wondered if it is possible to buy an excellent condition example at this price range. I assume that a mileage of 50-60k would not throw up major problems for this model if it has a main dealer service history.

You can certainly get a LHD one with that spec for that price. See www.rsjsportscars.co.uk as Joel often has them in stock. I think you'd need a grand or two more for RHD.

Oh, and don't assume anything. 50-60k is barely run in for a Porsche in theory, but in practice it depends how it has been driven - and stored. Low mileage can be worse on an older car than high mileage. Go on condition via an independent inspection.

I would also get a post-1995 example as they didn't suffer from wiring loom issues and had a few later model year revisions, inc varioram engine.

May I be cheeky here and ask why a Cabriolet? The 993 Coupe`s are superior drivers cars, they handle better and are also marginally quicker!

You should get a tidy `94 RHD C2 Coupe, with average miles and a reasonable history for £25K!

Won`t be Variocam, but then that suits some of the tuners better...hey 9M?

Just food for thought!

Wind in the hair, noise of that engine.

They are only slightly slower than the coupe because of the larger fanny magnet

Far more fun hood down go for it
