RL member looking for a 993
 

Previous owner for @ 10 years

Very knowledgeable buyer seeks non turbo, non cabrio, MT car

PM me if thinking of selling

I'm seriously looking for one as well... Would prefer black, but open to other (non-silver) colors. These things are selling so damn quick lately.

This white one keeps getting re-listed and looks super clean. He's unwilling to come down on price:

I am also looking...I haven't seen any that are selling so "quick" unless really priced right.There was a nice black on for $59k in Washington state at Park Place with hardback seats. That sold fast! There was a nice white driver quality car on FB marketplace for over a month under $60k, then finally sold online auction for $63k. . I've also noticed as I search there are many more wide body cars listed for sale then narrow bodies which is crazy since they are really low production numbers. Good luck on your searches!

Sold my WB which was a mistake.

Mine went for 6 figures.

Not looking to pay the premium to get back into one.

As an aside, I looked at a 97 993 being sold by a Porsche Dealer.

1 owner car with recent clutch, suspension, and brakes.

Negotiated to $72K (enclosed shipping to me included).

Photos looked great.

Carfax clean.

My initial PPI was done by myself via Face time with the salesperson.

Here's what I saw:

Paint meter demonstrated a respray of the fenders and hood - not a good color match to the rest of the car.

Someone attempted to repair the driver check strap - over welded and improperly, now failing again as evidenced by rust @ the repair and clicking.

Evidence of rust in the front and rear window channels.

The car was then ceramic coated with these issues.

My thoughts were - not for me, plus I doubt the original owner took very good care of the car.

The dealer even offered to fly me out of state to look at the car and reimburse me for a independent PPI if I didn't buy the car, I passed.

People at Porsche dealerships are often not knowledgeable about these car.

I trust you passed on this car? The one owner aspect is attractive, but rest doesn't very good. I bet you miss that wide body.

Yes, I passed.

They had the car listed for about 2 weeks, so I guess several people passed.

After I backed out of the deal, they sold it the next day.

There was a 28K mile 96 C4 that sold 1 hour after it was listed in Ohio for $73K missed that one.

The market is a bit crazy- a dealer I just spoke with sold an 87 Targa with @ 40K miles for $90K. Personally, I would want a Targa - the roof is too much of a ticking time bomb based on its age.

Yea - do miss my car - 30K not hit car with all the right subtle mods and spotless even in the undercarriage.

I had it 10 years and its 100% sorted.

A dealer would list that car a $150K+ now

It sounds like you had a gem for sure! Good luck this time around.

Good luck with the hunt.
May be challenging to not "pay the premium to get back into one", after accepting the premium when sold.

Not many people sell these for KBB, though you may get lucky. I just bought a S4 Avant, 3 pedal car, that the seller priced per KBB.

Thanks! Yes, I assuming there will be premium. For sure I wasn’t thinking of paying KBB. Good luck on that… you’ll probably get strike by lightning before that! Nice score on your S4!!!

I messed up and passed on one for $52K in Los Angeles 10 days ago. Black/black 6-speed, in great condition with 100k miles... Havent seen any under $60k since, or I would have picked it up...

This one is absolutely perfect for me, but he wont come down at all. https://albuquerque.craigslist.org/c...330349153.html

That thing is beauty, and well built! Thats a lot of money for the miles but no doubt he spent a ton on the 3.8 upgrade! Someone will see the value.

Yea, the one in Albuquerque is Nice! And Yes, I saw that one in LA. I pass on going to see it, since it spent it whole life in NJ. Be patient, I think you’ll hit one in $55-$60k. I pass on a couple in the month or two, but you got to be READY and Quick went it show up.

I've been messaging with him for over a week trying to send him comps to get him down a bit... I'd take it for $75k. $89k is just too inflated IMO - but truly I'm not expert. Been searching only a few weeks (hours every day).

I'm ready. The thing is for a well priced car it seems you have to forego the 'absolutely needed' PPI if you want it. The car that went for $52k drove like a dream, but sold before I could even consider a PPI.

Would not be surprised if that continues to happen if you stumble upon anything priced low.
