As owner of 3 993s amongst them one 993 2S with hardbacks, 2 questions are on my mind, i guess they are for the owner:\r\n1) does he still have the original code card for the CR210 Radio? Those are often lost and no way to replace them. Code can be had but not the original card.\r\n2) what happened to the seats? The installed hardback seats have the factory option M373 and M374. The seats mentioned on the sticker are the comfort seats. The window sticker lists \"racing style sport seats\" which could be these hardbacks or anything else. Were those seats dealer installed before delivery or why would the option sticker show the normal comfort seats from the factory?\r\nAnyway, this is a really nice car. And yes, I would always prefer a one or two owner car even with high miles over any 5 or 6 owner car. Back in the day when they were 10 years old, these cars where \"the cheapest 911 you could get\" so people bought them, drove them (hard) for a year or two and then sold them when they realized maintenance is expensive. So I would never buy a 5 or 6 owner 911 unless it has had a complete nut and bolt restauration....\r\nThis seems to be a great car, buyer will have joy with this car for years to come!", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1677334607, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 10808298, "authorName": "m0leman", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/m0leman/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "The speakers have more spokes than the wheels!!", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1677338750, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 10808738, "authorName": "GT3CHIK", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/gt3chik/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "This has been my dream car since they were brand new.
