Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

....or at least a long term 5+ year car! Just coming up to the 1 year anniversary of buying my 993 Cab and it occurred to me the other day that barring a major disaster, I can't see a reason why I would sell her. She.... 1) was a bargain to buy and is in fantastic condition for a 20 year old machine 2) is pretty much holding in value, if not actually appreciating slightly (irrelevant if I don't sell, I know, but don't under estimate the warm fuzzy feeling I get from the knowledge alone!) 3) is plenty quick enough for the road 4) is a hoot on the couple of track days I take her on every year 5) is actually quite practical - you should have seen how much we took to France over Christmas 6) isn't worth so much that I think "that's an awful lot of cash to have in one toy" 7) isn't so low mileage and shiny that I'm afraid to use her/leave her parked on the road 8) is a totally viable everyday car, yet special enough that you never get bored Basically, she's caught me a little by surprise as 1 year ago I was buying just to scratch the itch for a bit, see what people were raving on about and then maybe move on. As it stands I'm 90% sure I'll change the Ferrari before the 993 As an aside, 993s are obviously a little harder to live with than say a modern car which I actually enjoy. If I was a bit more 'creature comfort' and 'ease' orientated it'd be a 996 (again) no doubt, can't believe how good value they are now. Anyway, just thought I'd share as I'm in a pensive mood

Pleased to hear you're enjoying it. Nice position to be in, to run a 993 as a daily. Just clicked on your profile, cool garage. My mate had a 550 and a 575. Great cars. Bit too grown up for me, I prefer the V8 Ferraris, but still great cars. Your Mini sounds cool. Great to keep that in the family I bet.
