Default WTB: 964 C2 hardtop manual trans

It was suggested I make my own thread. I'm looking for a driver. original paint is preferable. I will lightly modify the car (dampers, wheels, light flywheel, etc), so it doesn't have to be completely stock. Records are preferred. I don't mind a little bit of a project if the price reflects it. Prefer under 70k/mi. Looking to about $45k. Could go a little higher for the right car.

I prefer white, red, and blue. No green. Not super excited about the gray and blacks, but would consider if the price is right.

Newer is better obviously, but I could use some guidance from you guys. I'm in SoCal, so west coast cars are easier to collect / see /ship.

Thanks for the help,
Matt

Under 70K miles another hurdle.

I see one or two WTB Manual C2 Coupe threads every week. This is definitely the 964 to have.

I was looking for the same car and got lucky and found a great modified driver that needed a little TLC. The car has been a blast and was definitely worth the search. Be diligent, have your cash ready to go, and be ready to put a deposit down quickly.

I set my pricing expectation by looking at cars on autotrader and cars.com. Granted, the owners aren't responding which I assume means the cars are sold, but are these poor representations of what is avaiable? Or do you assume at this price point, the cars won't check out?

http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...0886/overview/
http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...44/overview/#0
http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...1128/overview/ - this one is a little over the range I set for price and miles, but looks like a nice car. I haven't called the owner yet...

Just saw this one: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/ctd/5292441253.html

Looks like a good price for the mileage.

Lol. Variety is the spice of life. I've owned a hunter green sports car recently, looking for something different.

Sub 70K miles your price is a little low. I'm guessing 55K

The 1993 C2 is rarer than the RS America. Correct?

I don't believe the C2 vs C4 figures exist, however there were 520 2/4 Coupes in 1993 compared to 629 RSAs. Another 137 Targas and 600 Cabs. All US figures.

I guess this also says that the Targa is the rarest. Rare doesn't always equal more desirable in terms of market demand/pricing.

Still on the search guys. I've come close on 1 car that I may still move on, but it wasn't quite right. Let me know what you see. Cars with performance bolt ons are ok.
