Coupe M/T RWD non-Turbo 964 vs. 993 average/daily condition

It's been a while since I've been 911 shopping. 5 years ago I went w/ a 997 C4S and recently sold it for a boring Audi Q5. It's nice having a more practical DD for the first time in many years but I really miss the Porsche. I've been thinking about 964 for a nice day driver when I don't need to haul people/stuff around. I have an e46 "Lemons" track car so I don't need to use the 911 to scratch that itch.

What I'm having a hard time finding are normal/average manual transmission RWD coupes. 100K+ miles doesn't scare me with the service docs to back it up. It seems like the vast majority of 964s listed are C4s, Turbos, cabrios, and Targas. The ones that are listed either are priced at the very top of the market (low miles, RS, or just overly optimistic) or end up being Tip cars.

What's also surprising (at least to me) is that I'm finding plenty of 993s that match my search criteria for decent prices (along with plenty at very optimistic prices). I know Porsche prices have softened the last year but I thought 993s were still more desirable for most buyers.

I doesn't seem like a driver quality 964 M/T C2 coupe should a hard to find.

Am I missing something in the market or looking the wrong places?
