I live in the Bay Area and air cooled cars have a bimodal ownership distribution now. Millennials and boomers. Hardly anyone my generation. So, yes, half the drivers are geezers now, but there is a BIG interest by the hipster crowd in air cooled cars including the 993.
Some of you guys are FOS bashing the 993's abilities! Yes, in stock form, worst a C4, they are not the hottest car out there any longer. But they need very little to come up to snuff even compared to a more modern sportscar.
I drive a mildly modified 993 and it is just right. It walks away from stock 996 and many other newer cars, even in the straights. I can still do a DE and not be embarassed. I can still hang with the red run group. The rear suspension on the 993 is a work of art, the harder you corner the more it squats down and grabs onto the road. Nothing beats the sound of that fan winding up to redline. And no obsolete GPS and other screen BS you get in the later cars. Good old interior with a beautiful greenhouse from 1965. What's not to like?
I do want to buy a GT3 to get into the water, but that will be an additional car.
