FYI: 1997 993 C2S possibly trading in at Porsche dealer in Nashville
 

I was at the dealer on Sat. driving a 2006 Cayenne TT S (HOLY COW...different story though). Anyone looking for a C2S and specifically for a white one, may want to call Thoroughbred in Nashville, TN and inquire.

It was white with approximately 34,000 on the clock. I think the interior was black but cannot remember, as I think the windows were tinted.

No relation, no affiliation, etc... but I would ask for Jeff Escue as he has shot me straight on the Cayenne TT S regarding pricing, history of the car, etc... PM if you want the delaership number as I don't know if it's appropriate to post oit.

Pretty rare car, so I figured I would post the fact that it might be available soon, before it is.

I called this morning. and wanted to update the previous post...The car is a white/cashmere C2S, 36K miles, tip. Jeff said they were asking $31K, which I thought was a good deal, except for it being a "tip".

Jim,
Thanks for getting the updated info. I was more focused on the Cayenne TT S that I drove, and was in a hurry when I was leaving so I did not look at the interior.

I'm not a Tiptronic guy in the 993, but it's probably a perfect car for someone. I will tell you the Tip on the Cayenne TT S was one heckuva lot of fun!!!!

That sounds like a great deal! Wouldn't this be a $40-50k car if it was a 6-speed?

Either tip means a hell of a lot of depreciation or the car is not healthy. 31k is WAY cheap. If it checks out someone will get a huge steal (again, assuming tip is not the huge killer of value in this car)

That's a great deal for a car with that mileage. It's a tip, so that's going to have a negative effect on price, but still is a great price.

Dealers would put the value on these cars based on Kelly Blue Book and not real market prices I guess.

If they are selling it for $31K, I can only imagine what the poor soul that traded it in got for it.

Tip should knock 3K off a C2S at best. (I bought a '98 Tip last year.) With low miles like that, $31K is insane. I should buy it and flip it - unless there's a story, there's $10K to be had in that deal.

Wow! What a great deal. And deals do fly...there's a sale pending on it so the car is likely gone.

I'll bet this car shows up at one of the big national 993 dealers such as Holt or Premier and is priced in the high 40's to low 50's...

What a great deal...

That IS an incredible deal!!!

Even being a tip it should go for 42k+! Someone get this checked out and buy it before they realize they have priced too low!

As suspected. They are going strictly on KBB or NADA book prices.

KBB reports a 97, automatic, with 36K miles, ( "Excellent" condition values taken)

Dealer Price: $32,605
Private Party: $29,400
Trade in: $26,400

Porsche dealers may not know the real street value that these cars can fetch. They base their pricing on NADA, etc. Sometimes they may end up sending a complete lot of trade-in cars to be auctioned off.

Dealers are more setup to sell new cars and they don't really want to deal with trade-ins if possible.


Good thing is a tip or I'd be all over it. This may a be a great find for someone, it even has the "right" color! :)

Well, I'm glad I passed the info on to my Rennlist brethren as I am guessing someone on here put a deposit down on the car. I hope this kind of surveillance leads to a happy Rennlist owner. I didn't know the car, but from afar it looked nice and worthy of consideration.

I'm starting to feel stupid for not buying it, however!!

Car was bought yest by me, thanks to Robert... So I will let everyone know what is up with it, they are putting it through the shop at the dealer now... it needs a steering rack, so they are doing that..

We will see if it holds muster or not.. but worth a shot..
