Thanks for posting that. Pelican's a good reputable site (for those that don't know) for Porsche's. Sounds like a fair price for a 993 to me, they really don't (if their in relatively good condition) go for much less than that.
But that funny post is pretty right on from what i know. I'm looking (not actively, was, but am waiting) for a '07/'08 997 with a 2wd S model with a six speed. When the right one comes along, i will hopefully be ready. But if a 993 fell in my lap, clean for 17 to 20, well, i wouldn't kick it outa bed for eatin crackers....
