"Has the Carrera valve guide issue been addressed by the time the 993 came along? I recall my targa needed the valves/guides done before 100k miles and everyone I know who wrenches on them says it's just one of those unavoidable things with Carrera's. I'm hoping the 993 does not have this issue. "
Valve guide issue is still there. Seemed random on when and where it strikes. My 964 valve guide went bad at 95K. At the same mileage when I rebuilt my 993, the guides had only some wear.
"993 a/c? Modern, or am I going to have to mess with it? "
Modern-ish...but it's not going to be like a Toyota in Nevada. Below 90 degrees, it's great...but above that, no chance. I live in Texas and drive my 993 daily so I know.
"How's the clutch? "
No problem with the clutch.
"Any drivetrain 'watch out' factors I should look into when inspecting one of these? "
No, pretty much just the SAI on 96+ and valve guide issues. And you can't really check for valve guide issues.
Overall, I think the 993 is the PERFECT company for the 308 you have there. Get a C2/4s you will have the perfect body shape.
