Default 97 turbo S

I think this is the highest price I have seen to date. No affiliation.

Considering dealers are selling low mile 993TT for around 200K this seems on par(for dealers).

But still 360K and no sport seats?!?!?

Ray gets great cars, but his prices are truly out of control. He sits on cars for a while.

Waiting for "in ten years, $360k will seem like a bargain!"

A friend of a friend bought a 1958 Ferrari 250SWB California roadster for $750,000 about ten years ago. I thought he had lost his mind, and told him as much. The last one that traded hands was sold to some English DJ for 11,000,000. There are far few of those old Ferraris, but I can see 993TTS's going well north of where they are priced at the moment. It is worth keeping in mind that there was a time when a single tulip bulb was worth more than A year's wages.

sell yours yet?

didn't think so.


Turbo S is a tape and sticker package. In terms of driving, it offers essentially nothing over a regular turbo.

its a tarted up Turbo, nothing more.

Only reason to buy one is to collect.

I've bought parts from Ray - really nice guy and sells quality items. Love to see his cars that he has for sale every week. The prices are roof blowing to say the least.

Thanks for oversharing

The longer they're priced to sit, the more you can enjoy them. One day the market will catch up to your expectations, I bet.

The prices for 993's and 964's are beyond silly nowdays. What is so special about a Turbo S really? The sad part is that these cars will now be spending time in collections and treated like stock instead of been driven like they meant to be.

I truly think that this is a bubble and its going to burst. Some people will end up loosing their shirt, but the reality is that 997's are not 996's and the turbo models IMO are a better value. They are becoming very approachable and eventually this silliness will stop as they will compress the market place with 991's coming off leases etc. There are several examples of low mile 997 Turbos that are priced in the 60's. If anyone wants to do a straight swap for a 997 Turbo with my 993 I'm here
