The good thing is at least the issues 993's have don't grenade the motor from crappy inferior shaft bearings!!
964's are also coming up in value but still the bastard child of the 911 line. Heavy, slow and transitional between the coveted Carrera and awesome 993!
The 993 board over on Rennlist used to be the best group of guys I've found anywhere. Some of the old school patrons have disappeared but there's still a few knowledgeable guys around. Check it out if you haven't already.

Thanks for the tips! I'm losing my fear of owning an older Porsche! And I don't think there's anything worse than owning a car that could grenade at any moment! Valve guide seals that slowly wear out seems less anti-climactic in comparison!
