993 Turbo Buyers advice

Hi Guys

I'm looking to join the ranks of turbo ownership and would really appreciate some pointers on what specifically to look for when buying a 993 turbo other than the usual; price, condition, service history etc, is there any specific that goes wrong on the turbo I should be looking for?

Any devilishly expensive maintenance needed at sat 50k miles, 75k miles?

Any special options/colours that are particularly desirable? (other than it being a Turbo S of course!)

Thanks

Luke

Luke - You might want to ask your question over on Rennlist.com in the 993TT section.
