WANTED: Manual 993 Coupe

[pocketscience]

I'm looking to get out of my 993 tip and into a manual. The tip made sense when I bought it back in 2013, and it's a great great car that I thought I'd never sell.. but never say never...

Anyway, I know these are pretty hard to come by, so I'm not in any rush, but I could move pretty quickly for the right car. Prefer something stock or close to it.

Pity you didnt ask a few years back when I had a very nice '97 993 Carrera 2 6-spd widebody in Silver with Black interior. I am sure its worth a lot more now than when I sold it.

Previously had a '94 993 manual and used it as a daily for quite a while, when I could pry it out of my wife's hands as she always wanted to drive it to work. Sold that one too cheap as well.

Pity indeed..!

Not sure if I'd want to deal with the seller on this NZ one - I read the questions and answers.

But I love the colour and spec of the car.

Selling a car always requires answering the same old questions, and invariably soem tire kickers, but this guys "bedside manner"leaves a bit to be desired.

Full report on the 993 in Sydney please.

Agreed - I'm not looking forward to listing my 993 for this reason..

The potential new 993 is a Sydney car, but not currently in Sydney. Once I get closer to closing the deal I'll detail it a little more openly. Trying to sort a remote PPI etc at the moment.

@boyfromwhl - I got a blank PM from you. Feel free to ping me on: Zero 4 one four 9 zero two one 6 zero.

[boyfromwhl]

Yes very strange indeed - blank ! I have sent a msg to your number now.

Full report on the 993 in Sydney please.

A deal has been struck! 993 has spent the last 18 months in Brisbane, but was originally a Sydney delivered car. Two owners, 130,000km, Zenith Blue & black interior. Has been modified by current owner, including wheels, exhaust, front splitter, suspension, short shift kit. He has included all the original pieces in the price, so I will likely undo some of the mods. Looking like transportation early April. Yay!

That's a beautiful colour and stance, congratulations! Can't wait to see it in person.

I really hope Autohaus Cars and Coffee isn't crazy wet this weekend, forecast doesn't look great...
