Here in hong Kong, there is a Black 993 '96 Turbo on sale at Car City for HKD880k!!! Thats about USD115k (ex-rate of 7.8) for the seppos amongst us.

I spoke with the dealer and he said that a similar car traded at HKD650 last year but supply has dried up. The town is awash with cash and cars here, these days, are like Chinese A-Shares (yeah I am sick of talking about it too, but this is a tulip market over here).

So for those of you who dont know my story, I sent my 993 back to Oz a month ago and bought a mates F355 spider. I asked the dealer what my Ferrari is now worth and he said it would fetch "towards 900k" since there is, again, "no stock around" - hey, I bought the Spider for HKD690 a month ago in a private sale - FIGJAM !!!!

We are just about to "celebrate" the 10year anniversary of the "Handover" of HK, and I can tell you that circa '97 it was almost exactly the same. Luxury cars were "bid only" and new stock was only available to previous customers - sound familiar? Guess how that ended?

Anyways, its good news for those of you long-a-Turbo. I am seriously thinking flicking the Spider for it now (if only it was a soft-top!).

it's blue and the price even went up (slightly) from last week. prices have skyrocketed because most have gone to the land down-under..!

got any more mates who have a F355 for sale? too bad the yellow at cc has a tragic interior. don't suppose your driving around w a personalized plate..?

Hope the jump in prices apply to 993 cabs too...looks like we may be heading back to the US soon and I hate to say it but I may have to sell my toy. Mtrain, drop me a pm with your new contact details.

There's another Horizon blue 993TT asking 748k in HongKong now (physically located at Kowloon Bay - Exclusive cars dealer)... I recalled this one was asking 650k via private sale and finally sold at 590k 2 months ago... Not sure why this car on sale again now, perhaps the new owner tempted to make $$$

I've seen this car on the street a number of months back...not my preferred color (esp the interior combination) but car looked to be in good condition.

sorry, wheel is on the wrong side of the car (no exception in HK like what is allowed in Japan)...there was an unregistered Carrera GT for sale the last 6 mos for about HK$3.2mm but LHD so all the buyer can do with it is put it in his living room and look at it

it's not the price of the car itself, it's the import duties that get you (about 70-80% IIRC)

hi jason, no need for personalised plate in the Fezza, it seems to get more attention than a 10 year old car deserves.

Its dark blue with bone interior, not many around so's hard to miss.

I think there is a very rare 993TT convertible for sale in UK. See this link:

Harry,

Its not a widebody, not a TT - i think a single turbo, and is just well.... unique I spose.... if you like that sort of thing.

An orphan IMHO.

Here in Taiwan a 993 Turbo is worth about $80K to $110K. Also very very few supply.
