Yes mine is actually called Polar Silver and red (can't at the moment recall the red color name)
Love it but am conflicted about letting her go-it's in concours condition in every way

 

Yes but have my new school F8 Spider coming in exchange for my 488.
Really nothing here to lose sleep over.
just auto addiction

 

Oh no! Don't you do that! You will regret it for the rest of your life. Don't believe me? Ask Buddyg

 

Waiting patiently for comparison.

 

Years and years ago, I went to the Porsche dealer to ‘look’ at cars. They had a very slightly driven 993 next to a brand new 996 (both C2s). I chose the new one.

The 996, IMO, was a great car - a lot of fun and no problems. Except when I went to sell it. No one wanted the fried egg headlights and the persistent rumors of engine problems (IMS, AOS, RMS), of which I had none. And of course the 993s were smoking hot in the resale market.

Even with an incoming F8 Spider, I’d be a bit hesitant to sell your 997. The new Turbo cab is sublime looking, as evidenced by buddyg’s pics. Tough call....

 

Until then, this thread is clickbait!

 

All valid insight.It's worth about double the 106k I paid in July 1995, maybe more considering that my baby was never registered or titled to boot.- true---

 

Btw those pics were from a Rolling Stone Magazine event in conjunction with Porsche in Manhattan in Oct.,2019 where they displayed past decades of iconic Porsches and mine was selected by the Metro NY PCA to represent the 1990s' era.

 

You spilled your candy in the lobby.

 

No worries it was hard candy.

 

Do not sell your 993. A mint example that you are the original order is a must keep and unique. There will never be another car with its driving dynamics. The Turbo S can be purchased 2 years from now at $50-75K less. In a few years there will be a replacement model. I sold my black 993 for a new 997 and have not stop regretting.

 

I bet if you comb that beard out, you'll find some replacement candy in there.

Back to programming: Congrats on scoring the new rig. Now, would you hurry up and pay for it so they can release it to you?

 

buddyg 's beard is immaculately maintained and coiffed.

 

Congrats Buddy. If you're up for it I'll be at PBIR running the race car Wednesday. Come on out.
