Hi all. I'm in the market for a 993 and would like any advice you may have in the shopping experience. Mistakes made and lessons learned are greatly appreciated.
KBB calculates a 96 w/60K miles retail from a private party:
Fair: $24.3K
Good: $26.2K
Excellent: $27.7K
Haven't looked up BA's guide, but will look thru my old stash of Excellence to see.
Please let me know what you think of these prices? Fair?

Bump them up 20% and you're getting warmer unless they are really high milers that is. Low miles are not accurately priced on KBB and sellers know it. 2S and 4S are much higher.

I been searching for a car for awhile as well. Those prices arent going to work unless the seller is clueless. If the car is in good shape then you will most likely pay low 30's since the mileage is a bit high.
It is like hit or miss. Everytime, I call for a car I like. It is always gone. You arent alone in this hunt. I am patient but I am starting to get really annoyed with the process since it has been over a couple of months.
As for someone who knows of anyone selling. I am seeking a 96-98 BLK/BLK or MIDNITE/TAN OR BLK C2. I would love a car with less then 30k or just around that number. Let me know if someone is being reasonable. My price is around high 30k. Well back to searching.

I must be in the minority, but everytime i see one of these 993 pricing posts, i am amazed at the low pricing that gets tossed around. Maybe prices have just really plummeted, but i spent june 04 - aug - 04 shopping for one of these cars, and NEVER saw one for less than $40k with anything under 75k miles. Even my credit union told me that you cant look at kelly blue book, edmunds, NADA, etc. when it comes to 90s Porsches...
I might just be tried to convince myself of the worth of my "investment"

Have the prices come down that much since last year?

IMHO, there's a big difference between KBB, etc., versus the actual market. I've only seen a few 993s below $30k but they've had stories behind them.
Ishmeal, if you want a better look at the 993 market, look at the Rennlist classifieds, autotrader, etc., and don't rely on numbers provided by KBB.

Let's face it, KBB for the most part is a joke. Yes, it's a barometer for pricing but in no way is it accurate to "market" price on these type of cars. Galves is what the wholesalers use to price trade in and auction cars. The other guides are for "the public" and their accuracy is limited at best.
If anything I've seen an uptick in 993 pricing lately. Especially clean "rennlist" cars with the right mileage.

Prices? I'm stumped. I came across this '95 with 48,000 miles and it sold for $26,201. A dealer bought it and he will probably sell it for over $32,000. I was going to look at it, but at this price I was assuming it had hidden problems.

You mean 993's have something other than a 6cyl. ?
