At 285 hp, do not expect it to be super quick of the line. Handles great though. Both are wonderful analogue driving experiences. 993's are 20 years old. I would try to find the best car available,
PPI is a must. I had mine for 10 years with no issues. Would suggest ROW suspension setup. Much better than what was sold in NA. Funny, My east coast car went to a guy in pacific NW

Getting the best one is a funny balance. Because I'm going to drive it regularly, need one with enough mileage to be semi-sorted but not used up. Be clean enough to not be a project, but not too clean to worry about using it. And of course, I'm a slave to what is available to me in the market [Canada is much summer pool than the US].
Hoping to find one with about 75,000 Km on it. No real accidents. And has been used and maintained regularly.
Best part is, that if I don't find what I like, still driving a 1M. Really incredible car for what it is. I get more positive response from people on the street from this car than the GT3. Wish I could keep it too, but then I would be a car collector and don't really want to go down that road.
