I f#@%in passed

Got a call. 993 TT S. Silver/Grey. 17,000 miles. No stories, no paint work, no bodywork, no issues. Very reputable seller. South of 110k. Right car, right price, wrong time. Damn, I am already regretting it. I may never have another opportunity to own the same car for that money, but it just doesn't make sense right now.

Why the hell do we torture ourselves? Why can't I just be happy with what I have?

Dammit.

DUMB! That is one hell of a deal, most Turbo S's are in the $175+ area.

isn't this same car on dupont registry for $159k? If so what a friend to offer it so low it's too bad you didn't pull that trigger right away.

Uh, what is up with that "Turbo S" script on the rear? 100% not original. At least it doesn't say "Terbo Es". But close. Even if it were repainted, why would the script on the tail not be original?

So the big S is not correct? I have one that didn't have the Big S and it made me think mine isn't real. I'm glad you said this and hopefully my all original low miles is the correct on the back I just picked it up

Not the best picture, but this is correct:

Or look at the ones on Sloan and RPM.
