CA Smog - Can I buy a 993 from out of state?

[motion]

I'm having a helluva time finding the right red or black 993 Cab here in California. There are lots available, but most have over 50,000 miles. I've located a nice red one in Miami Beach with 25,000 miles, but I'm wondering what the situation is with smog... did Porshce create a California model that year with all the smog crap on it, or were they all the same?

Thanks for info info, as usual.

Richard, i believe they were all '50-states' models. max

I'm leery of cars from Florida, but there must be some honest ones out there.

I don't think smog is an issue, as these were all "50-state cars". I think the CA-specific models stopped in the 70's.

This one is priced quite high, but is probably about the 'newest' air-cooled cab you'll find. max

Whewww... that is high. That's the priciest one I've seen yet. 98s are big bux.

my advice,

unless you plan to see to fly to FL to SEE and drive the car first, just wait.

yes, of course you can get a PPI, but I have sold a few cars in the last year and I'm always surprised at what the PPI says or does NOT say. I always suggest the PPI for any car I am selling. the right CA car will reveal itself. you just have to be patient and wait for the right car.

I find most on recycler.com and craigslist.org

good luck!

Richard, I may be flying to Miami on Sat. to pick up my 993. Perhaps I can check it out for you.
