Unhappy Sad day - My Guards Red '95 993 is for sale


Someone once said that the best days of a boat owner's life is the day he buys it and the day he sells it.

I can tell you that as a 993 owner, the latter is not true.

Sadly, due to a relocation to Singapore (great for career, bad for my P-car lifestyle), I am forced to put my 993 up for sale. This was unthinkable merely a month ago (I even bragged as to how I'll never sell my 993 - I guess never say never) but the uncertainty of my return and the inability for me to import the 993 into Singapore has forced my hand.

The car is numerous upgrades, hence the high asking price - USD 34,000. Please see the Rennlist Ad for full details:

Dude!

That sucks, Rezal. I'm happy that you're making a good career move but sad you won't be around. We'll miss you at the Rennlist drives.

Good luck with the sale.

That's a beautiful machine. Let's hope it goes to another Rennlister.

Good luck with the sale - you can still drop in from time to time!

Good luck with the move.

Goood luck in the career move. The price seems very reasonable with all that it has to offer. It won't last long.

Mark: Don't you need a *daily* driver 993? Yes, I'll miss the DC/MD gang and Sunday drives.

Yup, the car's pretty fully loaded so it'll be a big disappointment to anyone who wants to go down the slippery slope since the car is almost at the bottom now. Glad to hear that the price is fair.

I hope it'll go to a rennlister too since I bought it from a rennlister. Maybe I'll even get visitation rights?

Now, if only I can convince Fongster to trade his Singapore 993RS for this one...

Sorry to hear that you have to sell your baby, but i'm sure your career move will get you into an even better Pcar soon (TT?? ).

Hey...those aluminum rings are good for at least a $1k premium.

Good luck and don't be a stranger!

Wow Rezal, you are going to make a soon to be 993 owner very happy. You have a great car. Sorry you have to sell it, but I am sure you will find something to replace it with upon your return..... Good luck my friend..

I know how you feel having sold my 95' GR 993 as well. However, the bright side is that there will be other P-cars or sports cars in your life. Take care!

I feel your pain! Best of luck with the move. Perhaps you'll find a local 993 in Singapore?
