I was a regular here when I had a 993. Sale agreed on my daily and I'm looking for a replacement. I've run two cars for years, but I have use of other cars and I could potentially seek to move to one. This would save me money on additional set of running costs, which has some appeal.
In 993 world, cabs, targas and tips were never popular. The world moves on and though I sense coupes are probably more desirable than cabs, I think I'd like the roof off experience again.
I'd consider a manual, or a 718S for that matter but I've surprised myself in that I fancy PDK now.
Having had the auto option on my last two dailies, I'm in no real hurry to go back to changing gear in traffic.
Anyway, looking for some real world ownership experience of 991 cab.
I had a nasty experience with my last 981S, which needed a new steering rack having covered only 14k. As an out of warranty experience, it wasn't fun.
Is there much real difference between base 991 and an S?
I remember sport chrono used to be considered a 'must have' but I never cared for the look of the stopwatch on the dash and rarely used the sport mode. What, if anything is considered essential spec here?
The rear seats in the 993 were barely suitable for kids. The 991 is a bigger car but I'm guessing rear seats still don't work for anything other than kids? Is the rear seat back rest still almost vertical as in most cabs?
Finally, having spent some time on the classifieds, I'm surprised how few private sales you see now compared to a few years ago. I've no real desire to buy at retail but compared to a few years ago, the amount of private sale cars has really fallen away. I suppose it's the wbac effect.
