Default Saw a sweet c2S today...someone should grab it!

I thought my car was clean... This car was better! 15k miles & it looked like 2k miles. Silver on grey leather. From the inner wheels to the bolts under the car... all clean as a whistle. I think it was a Fla. car now near chicago at The Last Detail (car dealer in lake bluff or north chicago,IL i think). I have no affiliation with these guys & I dont know how they are to deal with but I do know they have the cleanest c2S I have seen in a long while. Asking big bucks but worth it if it checks out by a pro. Just wanted to let ya'll know. Someone will be a happy camper. I would trade mine in but then I would never drive this one. Mine is close to it but not quite. Better to use these cars. Best if you have 1 or 2 on standby maintaining perfection. By the way I saw VH1 celebrity famous show last friday. I pinned Sienfeld in a 993 c2 coupe silver, 993 c2 targa silver, and 2 others (a black____? & a riviera blue___?) i'm not sure of... I'm trying to Tivo the next show to pin again. Cheers to dry roads & perfect Porsche climate in Chicago (the last few weeks).

About the same....the high-end of the 993 market is around mid $60K's right now.

Small world. I saw this car last weekend, myself. Sweet is an understatement--this thing is museum quality. The PO even placed a small piece of felt in the tray recess under the handbrake lever to prevent fingernail scratches.

The color was not Polar Silver, it's the other one (Arctic?) and it rode on stock 17" cups with ~15mm spacers at the rear. They quoted a friend of mine $61K while we were there so maybe sub $60K is possible. If you want a like-new 993, you should check out this car.

No affiliation, etc. etc.

That car is almost the twin of mine except that I have factory Aerokit, 18 hollow spokes and PSS-9 suspension.

I agree it is a nice car. But not for that price!

Deano: isn't the Last Detail also a body shop?

Arwin: If you want I can take pictures of this car for you on Saturday and e-mail you the pics. Let me know.

Keith,

Thanks for the generous offer, however nice that car is...it's over my budget. There is however an Arena Red C4S (in my "...Arena Red..." post) that may be worth a looksy in the Chicago area located in

Shepherd Volvo
Oak Park, IL 60302

Thanks.

Keith, yes it is also a body shop... but they only detailed this car from what I can see. I don't have a pro-eye... but come on... this thing is mint. Keith, lets plan a fun run drive for Chicago.... spring fever is rising.b

Someone grabbed it for $59K. Not bad for a 7-year-old car with a $73K original sticker (according to the dealer).
