It's in. Great shape, only need are valve cover gaskets and front control arm bushings. I'm soooo tempted to spend all my money

I've owned my 996 turbo for a few years, it's definitely not lame, generally people don't like it because they prefer the front end of the 993 or 997 or theair cooled aspect of the 993 but 996 prices reflect that, test drive a turbo, then a n/a 993 or 997, I bet a buck you get the turbo.1987 325ic

Yea Buzztt Turbos only seem to be 3-4K more than c4s, I dont mind 996 looks, the interior is a bit meh but I can get over it. I ripped the 993 past 140 and it took far too long for my liking to get it there (remember I have a 500hp E30) but the sound and the overall backrods driving pleasure makes up for it a bit. I do need to drive a turbo 996 to get it out of my system, I have driven base 996's and they are ok but not great. My thinking on the 993 is for the "friend" price I am getting it for I can probably drive it for a year or 2 and if I need/want to unload I will not loose money and possibly make a few bucks.Comment

If you're getting a great deal on the 993 then that makes the decision pretty easy, drive it and love it, if you ever get bored of it sell and get your money back or make a profit, win.
I'm quietly looking for a nice 993 but the 997 c2s keeps getting my attention, I need to drive the c2s to get it out of my system, I think I'll be disappointed and it will push me towards the 993. I also keep getting side tracked by e46 m3's, i had one in 06 and miss it.1987 325ic

Yeah have had tons of Bmw's so I am poised to move on. Actually looking at striking a fairly nice deal on a highly optioned c4s for a bit less than the 993. It's tough, if I need speed I have the Alpina, so a all around great experience is what I would like, that and some killer hips.. Damn I love hipsComment

Being porsche seats suck for the most part anyway, I decided to switch them out for a pair of recaros sportster cs, possibly the best money I have spent on the car so far, really transformed it, interior looks much more modern now and they are the nicest seats I've ever sat in, really happy with them.
