Hey Anthony. We are slowly converting you The 993's are great cars. I had a 1995 a while back. You have to be careful of the CEL and carbon build up clogging some items up. Valve jobs are not cheap on these suckers. I would recommend and inspection by the guys at Aase Motors in Fullerton. They have done many of these valve jobs and know what to look for.
I also had problems with a few of the hydraulic lifters failing (could of just been me)
Overall a great car. Just get it check really good. Be careful also, I have read guys will disconnect the CEL "Check Engine Light" so the poor buyer does not see it. That is a dead giveaway for the carbon clogging.
