Just bought a home in Florida and received an estimate on the renovation (more than the cost of this car). May think of selling, but am not pressured and am not in a hurry. This is one of the rarest C4S (993) on the planet. Period.
Would love and appreciate any recommendation on pricing (though, again, I may not sell and just hang on to it). Car is started regularly but obviously not driven to anything other than Cars and Coffee, Starbucks, etc.
Thank you and happy holiday weekend

Pricing opinion please.
I'm looking at a 98 C2S manual with 61k miles. Arctic Silver with two tone tan and black dash int. Basic seats and leather dash. Wood shifter and parking brake.
Clean title and car fax. The front end had some minor accident that resulted in blending the front half of the car with a respray. The interior has seen better days. Usual wear suspects. Driver seat bolster worn but not torn. Drivers door card is worn and someone did a bad tan dye job. Carpet is tan and shows dirt in some areas. Mechanicals seem to be just ok(PPI would be done before purchase). Not a lot of paper work. Recent clutch job. Engine is leaking from lower valve covers and timing chain box. Techno wheels have curb marks all over them. Exterior paint shows well but has its chips and little dings here and there. What do you think its worth? $72k firm is the offer the seller made to me. I feel for that price I might be able to find a car with some more owner loving. Any opinion is much appreciated. Its a big purchase for me and I want it to be right. Thanks!

Sounds like a tired car with a lot of deferred maintenance. If you don't DIY, you can easily spend $10-12k on the mechanical side and another few thousand to properly sort the cosmetics. Even in this overheated market, I'd say the price is a bit high, as described. Are you set on a WB? For $10-15k less, you can find a near perfect NB..only giving up 3" in the process.

You got a smoking deal
Not sure how I did, but took the car and had the valves scoped and ppi. Mechanics came back clean and valves looked solid. Tranny was above average, but they said depending how I drive, may need to change in a year as the syncros are just starting to wear a little. I'm worried I may have fallen into the proverbial p-car "a cheap P may cost you more than a more expensive one" trap. Mechanically, the engine is solid. The exterior needs a good polish. I am repainting the bumper and hood for $1100 at a reputable shop. Doing a Euro light conversion too. Most of the money will go to cosmetics. Leather will need refinishing or recovering.

If the car is otherwise in good shape, with not too much money to sort it out, I would say you got a pretty great deal.
Most would say 993 market is up but not peaked. Turbo 993...whole different ballgame.

I agree. If you want a couple, wait until you find a suitable one. I would also look nationwide to be on the safe side. 6 weeks ago I found a C4S coupe within 100 miles of where I live. But I would have gone much further if necessary. I was just lucky. Good luck.

Opinions please... 1997 C4S, 90k miles, three owners, two accidents, I have seen the police reports both did not leave the car unable to drive, both front side impacts, appears to be well repaired. Quarter inch spot of paint bubble under passenger side windshield seal, door strap pulled loose from driver's door, driver side seat needs upper bolster repair. Other than that cosmetically a nice honest low 3 high 4 appearance. Complete records for the last eight years and 23k mi show oil changes every year, clutch and brakes less than 9k ago, tires about 2500 ago and various misc attention. Guards red with black leather, rear wiper, soft back sport seats, speed control, stereo (replaced with decent Alpine) Litronics, sunroof, and alarm are the Porsche options from the under hood list. Owners manual and two keys, SAI needs attention. thanks folks !
