Default Here is a 1997 carrera S for sale

Just surfing craigslist and happened to find this if anyone cares

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/car/219828565.html

High mileage, but seems well documented

Vesuvio metallic is an awesome color. If I ever get another 993 it will be that color. 140K miles and $27K seems like a pretty good deal to me providing everything else is in order. Hope someone here hops on it.

With no stories, and proper maintenance, this would make a great driver!

I would think solely because of the miles. At least I would hope this is the reason.

Hmm... too good to be true. Even for the miles. That's my opinion.

She really looks clean in the pictures. Look at the engine bay. A good detail is one thing but the thing as a whole looks good.

I thought Vesovio was more purple. This looks like a nice gray.

Tim,
It depends on lighting. My car looks anywhere from almost black on overcast days to purple with a little gray in bright sunlight.

That seems really cheap. Plus the cars there are usually on consignment so the owner is even getting less than that. Love that color too. Just down the street, I might have to swing by and have a look.

Looks clean but the price is all due to the mileage methinks.......as always with these cars you need to see it and hear it for real. Tell you what though, anybody looking for a race car might be interested in this!!!

this would seem to represent a new price data point...i didn't think i'd see an S go for less than $30k at this time...even with that many miles.
