I own 1996 C4S that I am considering selling. It is arctic silver with blue leather interior. Has racing bucket seats, optional racing suspension, motor sound, stereo,. No whale tail. After market stainless steel B&B mufflers. Mileage is 34,+++. I am the 2nd owner. I bought it from my next door neighbor in 1998. In excellent condition. If you are interested you can contact me at dchawks57@gmail.com.
Thank you

These prices are ridiculous and way overbought. I'm sure most of the current 993 owners would not buy at fraction of these inflated prices. All it does it makes ownership more expensive with higher agreed value insurance and less miles to prevent depreciation/accidents. Takes the joy out of these cars and frankly I don't see how they're worth it, even if they're in 60k range.
Find me a car at $60k that comes close. Looks, feel, heritage, emotion. Not much out there comes close.
Bought my C4s at $89k. Spent a bundle to make it my own and I've put more miles on my 993 than I have my daily driver in this past year.
I. Don't. Care.
It does take a bit of a f*** it attitude, but I think what it really requires is commitment. I'm ok with not worrying about resale, because this is a dead guy car.
Resale concerns are a good way to ruin an ownership experience. You have to let that go.

I bought my C4S for $46K cdn 11 years ago. That was a lot of money for me then (still is I guess) as I don't make a tonne of money. its just my wife and I (no kids) hence I can splurge a bit on hobbies. As much as I love my car (longest I've ever owned a car), I'm not sure I would be willing to spend over $100K cdn for one now. If I had a tonne of money then sure but given my situation now then no. Having said that, even though the car has increased in value a lot, I drive my car as much as I can. I don't treat it like an investment nor do I worry too much about rock chips etc. I try to keep the car as nice as I can but don't worry about it too much!
