Damn, a yellow CGT and a Silver on Nephrite WB 993... doing things on top.

Would you be willing to disclose if the strike price on the car was at the $155k asking or higher?

Why would it be higher? Auto Kennel posted the price direct from them. No auction.

Imagine that car would have had multiple suitors. Maybe it was first come first serve, maybe not.

Congrats - it's a very special car that has been loved and enjoyed.

You'll be my hero if you were to paint the brake calipers Nephrite to match!

That would be amazing. 'Big Nephrites' ?? haha

Hi there - new here! looking to get my first p car in the next month or so... hot for a 993... didn't want to start a whole new thread, can I ask for thoughts on pricing here? I've seen a number of cars over the past few weeks but most interestingly, I've found a beautiful 993 C4 local to me with under 15k miles. The interior is immaculate. The paint is also in great shape, however three body panels were replaced 20+ years ago (passenger fender, door, quarter panel). No structural damage from what I can tell, I have also seen the repair receipts which are consistent with surface damage only. The story I was told is that the car was backed into by an SUV while parked. Otherwise, the car is a time capsule - no modifications.

Any opinions of what a fair price range would be? My plan is to keep the car forever (or until I get bored in a few years and want a TT!).

Thanks for your thoughts... looking forward to joining the club...

I'm a fan of a C4 over a C2 due to my canyon driving style, so I may tend to overvalue a C4S. It's hard to give a good value without knowing what other options it has or modifications. But I'd say a 15K C4S with a manual that's bone stock without mods and given the panel replacement.... hmmm, perhaps in the $140-$150K range presuming it's not a crazy desirable colour combo. All things being equal I give it a $20K knockdown for the panel replacement and paint blending. Also bear in mind my price range is a good deal price from a buyer's perspective, not the highest retail possible from a seller's. IMHO, YMMW.

With mileage that low, take a look at all the maintenance records since new and ensure it has consistent mileage over all the years and didn't sit for a long time not being driven. Or if it did sit, I'd say 3-4 years or more, that's it's had a good going thru prior to sale.

Is the car in question an S? Or a C4???

C4 is a (Narrow Body) or is it a C4S (Wide Body) big difference … there is another thread here on NB 993s. A 15k mile WB in that condition easily $130k with that damage really hits it otherwise $185k - $200k+ if perfect with that mileage.

That’s a nice 14k mile C2 (narrow body) at Autokennel that’s priced at $111k. I think their prices tend to be pretty close to market correct. Take some off (15-20%?) for all the panel hits. I’ll defer to others whether the C4 would be worth more or less.

thanks, it’s a C4 - narrow body. As a newbie I’d thought all the 4 were “wide” but see that’s wrong - not a 4S.

Didn't see these discussed:

21k miles, bid to $125k...which seems unusually low.

84k miles, euro, bid to $130k.

Damn. The link for the silver with Nephrite interior is closed. Can someone post pics of the car? Love me a green interior!

Thanks in advance!
