Is that an actual photo of the 993 you'd be getting? It looks pretty good.
Are you trading in or selling your car yourself?

Perhaps I'm not a purist or maybe my love for Porsche was a bit late to bloom, but the air-cooled cars didn't/don't do anything for me. I just see them as older Porsches. I, for one, prefer latest and greatest.

I am extremely curious to know what you can get for your car (with the conversion -if that makes a difference), as I am in a similar situation (wanting a 996 C4S). It's funny, all your wants in the 993 are identical to mine. Size, power, and fun.

If you end up keeping the Boxster, avoid that Zientop! Ug. Use that money towards something engine-y. Or for some rims/tires.
