- Does the 993's AC blow cold?

Yes. Not freeze you out of the car ice cold, but sufficient for 100 degree weather.

- Also, does it have cup holders?

No, but there are excellent aftermarket units available that bolt to your door panel. These came with my car. They are sturdier than any factory cup holder Porsche makes.

- Also, these seem to be hard to find. Any particular reason for this?

There weren't many made. There seem to be many long term owners as well. My 993 was from the first owner who held on to it for 9 years.

- Anything I should look out for?

Check engine light issue is the main deal on these. Otherwise there is no major issues.

- Will a 993 last for 250k+ miles like my Carrera?

Yes. Some may have valve guide wear that warrants a top end along the way, but that's unchanged from the 3.2 Carrera.

Hope this helps!

George
