CROME

HI GUYS

THE OWNER IS IN BOCA RATON

I SAW BOTH CARS IN HIS GARAGE....RED 1,500 MILES / BRAND NEW

HE WAS ALSO ASKING $59,000 FOR A WHITE 4S/ 25K MILES
@ THAT TIME

There are 2 different cars, the one on the classifieds is just a regular coupe. This one is a C4S and showroom quality. Worth the extra $20K for sure!

OK...THANKS! GOOD TO KNOW.

mpgandco-Spot on. I saw this ad a couple days ago and thought the same thing. But then I realized they have already contacted him with their "will you end it now for $xx,xxx" and so far he is going to let the no reserve auction run.

These are the best to watch finish, because they represent the true (not dealer/flippers/resellers/whatever you want to call them) market values of rare examples that often change hands privately.

Why are many here calling it a "Sad Waste of Money??" Here's why....

The next owner will pay huge amount of over-market premium for a car that is designed to be driven to get the most out of it, and then be forced to keep it in the garage forever more because each mile driven will knock the value down a huge amount....

It is NOT a sad waste for the current owner, but it will be a sad waste of money for the next buyer. And what if the next owner really wants to drive it? Then after one year, the car's value will be down $25K, which is, let's face it, a huge waste of money.

Makes no sense to buy this unless the buyer runs a museum and aims to keep cars indoors.

I'm surprised it's such a low-option car (other than sports seats), considering whoever originally bought it had the means to almost never drive it.

The options almost make it seem like it was bought as an intended track car...

Value won't drop $25K ($60K - $35K) unless he puts 50k miles on it in a year.

To me, it appears to be a rare chance to buy a 993 that is almost brand new....and if you had millions in the bank and wanted a "new" 993 this sale would be an ideal use of money, not a sad waste.

Many people can only drive 1K- 2K miles a year due to schedule, lifestyle, etc. We start off with low mileage cars and they tend to stay that way.

Doesnt the fan and cowling look painted - or is that how they looked from the factory?

My concern is that it was stored properly for 10 years, and just parked and not serviced.

I think it has some nice Options,Sport Seats,Hi FI Stereo,MotorSound Package.

for the kind of money this vehicle would bring, id rather have a 30k mile twin turbo

I agree. I don't think it's sad. I could care less about the previous owner and his reasons for not driving it. I think it's a rare and fantastic opportunity for someone looking to buy a new, 11 y/o 993.

I also doubt the car will see a "significant" drop in value if someone puts 20k miles in the next couple of years. It'll still only have 22k miles! You want to see depreciation? Buy a new $100k BMW or MB and I bet you loose $20k just driving it out of the lot.

BTW, a white 993TT with 4k miles sold local to me for $110k a month or so ago. The new owner traded a 997 for it.

But no full leather, CF, or aluminum. I guess in my mind, anyone who isn't buying the car as a driver would want a more blingy, "top-of-the-line" version.

That would be my concern too. Original tires, original oil, original gas?

I don't see any service records mentioned.

Sure is a beauty.

I would be concerned with the seals drying out.This is my experience with low mileage 930 Turbo's.
My Bmw 3.5 CSI never leaked a drop of oil,until I Quit driving it for a year.Now it leaks a little from sitting.The worst thing you can do to a car is let it sit for an extended period of time
