Default Turbo S

How rare are these cars and is this price in line with what they go for? Outside looks fine, but the interior is a bit...loud

Something like 375 units were sold, most are in collector's hands today. This price may be a bit high, but they are very hard to find and do bring big money.

For that kind of money, I would go for the 1994 3.6 Turbo S (based on 965), you know, the one from Bad Boys 1. Only 81 produced (including 39 slant nose). I spotted a black one (slant nose) for sale in Panorama for $150K. If only I had the $$$ to invest...

Hard to find price competition there when they are owned by the same "seller". How many others are out there for sale now?

Willhoit's car is mine, it should bring almost 130k when it is said and done... 182 in the US... this is an unbelievable car, the older stuff just floats my boat a little more... wierd as it may seem, plus I wasn't going to ever drive it alot, nervous as hell to have that much money in the garage or on the road.......that auction is getting interesting....

Funny that people think their car is worth more because a "celeb" owned it. But hey I’ll play. My car was originally owned by an NBA player too, Brian Grant. It must be worth twice as much! Or maybe it’s worth less.

I almost bought this black cab that Jerry Rice was selling. Someone got to it before me, but it was a killer deal. I guess he wasn't so impressed that he owned it.
