It's 110K Miles, that seems odd to say high miles but for these cars it seems like it is (5.5K/yr!). I doubt I would put more than 3K on it per year especially split between the 964 (59K miler).
My town is tiny and no matter how much I drive, the distance is never going to add up. Plus no winter driving. Honestly, not even sure which car I'm keeping, the 964 or the 993. I never thought I would own a 993 so I have given it sideways disparaging remarks to make myself feel better and now that I have one, oops

Not many probably follow my way, however, it's been fun.
1 - Drive it for a few weeks in Hawaii as PPI indicated this would be fine and not exactly much spirited driving there
2 - Ship it to LA
3 - Get fluids changed and have car looked over again
4 - Jump in car and head for Florida
5 - Drive it 4000+ miles, visit 14 states, in a little over three weeks, and still only as far as Tennessee
6 - Sit in hotel room each night and research work to be done once I get to Florida

Welcome to the community!
It all depends on your goals with the car. Other than taking care of maintenance and ensuring it is in good running condition, one of the most popular upgrades to the driving experience is our Sport Cat X-Pipe. The factory cats are Very restrictive, so you'd see better power, throttle response, and the sound is much throatier with accentuated burble/overrun. Pairs nicely with our Maxflos or the various Fister stages in the event you want a little more down the line.
Here is a link to a nice thread we have going on this mod for the 993. Feel free to browse around at the feedback and videos of the community so far.

In event you'd be interested in our X-Pipe or anything else we offer, just drop me a line and i'd be happy to work with you
LMAO! Well played, I am busting a gut from that one hahaha

I've been driving the 993, wow what a difference from my 964! Totally different drive. Sadly I have got the decree from BIG BOSS and can only keep one. I took some pictures of it and I will list both of my cars and keep whatever one doesn't sell
Here is some pictures. I got it for a decent price and I think it's a great driver car, and I was thinking of listing it for 40K USD. It doesn't have any big issues except for SAI CEL, the leaky steering rack and the engine/interior is a bit dirty and overall the car isn't 'greased up' with tire slick and all those fancy chemicals
(I took the plate off for pics)

Trying to keep both atm Please no trolling, it's a 'hard' enough problem and I'm very lucky to be in it right now. Sometimes I forget all the good things we have, that this is a 'problem' when in reality it's just a choice between 2 fun things. (I'm not a rich man, just an average dude who lucked into both cars, guys like me usually don't drive 911's and def. not 2 at the same time).

I'm in the process of getting my 993, it's a little stretch for me, but I figure now or never.
Go take each one for an extended drive. After those drives, which one do you see yourself driving for the next 5 years.
