Popped into Porsche dealers (Sunny Sacramento) to get my 4 digit unlock code (96 C4s), he pulled the original info up and the sticker price was $81k (assume includes tax and reg fees)

You are right, I mistyped above. The base price on the Carrera 4S was $73,000. Sorry about that.

folks, i'm still amazed at how well the aircooled 911s hold their value. the original asking prices in 1990s money was still exorbitant, but the S models, for example, are amazing values then and now.

FWIW, adjusted for cost of living to 2002 dollars (rounded):

1995 Carrera @ $59,900 MSRP = $70,500 (1.17717 conversion factor '95-'02)
1996 C4S @ $73,000 MSRP = $83,500 (1.1434 conversion factor '96-'02)

... and Phil's 98 C4S rolls in at $96,325 w/COLA !!!

I find it interesting that both 993 base MSRPs w/COLA were almost $2k more than the base MSRPs for equivalent 2002 996 models.

We bought ours a few weeks ago, and it came with original window sticker.

Our 1997 C2 cab had the $73k base price. Factory installed options and accessories bumped it to a ridiculous $87,847.00. A $765 destination charge brought the total to $88,612. Porsche options are not a bargain.

What's the number to call at PCNA? I'd love to hear the actual delivered price of my car when new.

(770)290-3500 worked for me (about 2.5 years ago). You can try 1(800)PORSCHE, but I don't know whether you can get through to the right department.

I called PCNA. They told me they oculdn't look up a sticker price based on the VIN. The did offer to sell me the "birth certificate." Unfortunately, they have apparently raised the price of the certificate to $95 from the $45 currently advertised in Excellence magazine. Sorry, but the curiousity just isn't worth $95 to me.

I gave the guy the model year, build date, and option codes -- he told me the base price and the price of each option. Maybe they don't do it anymore. I'd try calling back -- maybe you'll get someone more helpful on the line.

i was wondering if any of you could help me out with an original sticker price general estimate for a typically equiped 1995 993 Carrera 2 with manual transmission.

i was doing this cost to own estimate for a 15 year period of a typical 1995 993 vs a 968 with a few "upscale" options that would bring the car to an equally equipped 993....

my post from the 944 forums. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

https://rennlist.com/forums/924-931-...s-997-a-2.html

please inform me if i'm off on this estimate about a 1995 993 vs an equally well equipped 1995 968....

buy the 993 for $70 K and drive it 85 k miles. sell it for $38 k now. (add about $6 k for maintenance).... buy 968 coupe (base price $43 k) and 3 options; limited slip, all leather interior and 993 seats (the all-leather seat option) = $52 k (ests)... drive it 85 k miles. sell it for $14 K. (add about $8 k for maintenance)....

cost to own 1995 993 and drive 85 k miles = $38 k

cost to own 1995 968 and drive 85 k miles = $46 k

did i miss something ?

i'm even being generous because i'm using a 911 cabriolet, and that's probably a couple grand more than a typical coupe.

993 price source; http://www.globalautosports.com/car/...ble-25866.html

968 price source; general knowledge.
