[356robo]

I recently sold a very nice 356 and am now seriously looking for a 993. I've found most 993's listed in the $40K-60K range and very few cars listed under $40K.

1. Do the 993's listed in the $40's and low $50's actually sell close to asking price?

2. If so, what's filling the $30-$40 range? 996's?

3. Are the prices in the recent "Excellence" articles regarding 993's reasonable? What mileage is assumed in the articles?

4. What's the downside of buying a car with 40-50,000 miles? Seems like asking prices drop considerablely on cars over 40K.

I'm willing to spend $42,500 for a 993, but want a fully documented car in excellent condition. Not too concerned about year or model. I expect to drive the car about 5,000 mi a year. If I rely on the "Excellence" articles, I think I'd be insulting to sellers.

Lots of questions, I know. Maybe its the Corona's.
