Anyone in Omaha Want to Test Drive a 993

My friend is thinking of buying this car.

We are in Toronto, wondering if anyone could give it the once over.... anyone up for this? The car is at 'Porsche of Omaha'.

I'm in Omaha - I'm not too familiar with 993s, but I could take a look. I can tell you that Woodhouse Porsche is a good outfit to deal with - they are very customer-centered and not out to screw anyone, so my guess is that if you bought this over eBay and weren't satisfied, they would make it right.

Jon don't know 993s. I know a little bit about 993s.

I see that your friend bought it already though. I'd be curious to know what your friend paid as I thought Woodhouse was asking a premium. I just stumbled onto it today in a search. If it was close to asking price I need to drop my 993 off and let Mitch work some magic.

I haven't seen the car in person but 35 ish sounds reasonable for the lower miles and nice goodies the car comes with. If it checks out it sounds like a fair deal to me (probably not to Bruce Anderson though, he hates 993s).
