Love the color combo and condition of your car. Did you have it transported in a closed carrier vehicle? What drew you to this particular car so freakin' far from your home? Isn't it just dumb luck that we typically fall for a car on the opposite side of the country? The only 993 I could find in my color combo was in Chicago and the only BMW I could find was in Bellingham, WA and I live in MD.

Was it mostly the low mileage and the condition that drew you to this car? I'm guessing so as it looks perfect.

Congrats.

Haha you're right. SoCal I hear has the most Porsches of any region in the world, especially where I am, where they're about pennies away from being a dime a dozen. The low mileage was certainly a draw (and also a concern because you wonder how long it has been sitting), as was the color - I was looking for either a guards red or arena red as top choices, with arctic silver or midnight blue as alternate choices. I'm a bit of a clean freak in real life, so a newer and/or very meticulous previous owners was a must. Honestly, I really couldn't put my finger on why beyond that, other than I saw it, got a PPI done on it, and had it transported.

Any interior pics? Looks like Cashmere? I think Cashmere is my favorite interior color, and I would've chosen it except that my car is a driver and I know even if I had found a perfectly clean example it wouldn't have stayed that way through the Seattle Winters...

Looks like linen to me, much lighter than Cashmere, anyway.

Great looking car. It's really cool when you have such beautiful scenery so close by for your introductory Rennlist 'photo shoot'!

Hope you enjoy many happy miles in your new ride!

Nice looking ride. Remember though, don't drive it or the value will go down according to dcdude.

Actually, I got a better idea. Drive it, enjoy it, you only live once, don't care about the value of the $$, but
the value of happiness it brings. And finally whatever you do, don't log into this site and take advice from these nimwits. This site really draws in the deep thinkers I tell you.
