I agree with your price range for "all" 993s. I personally have not seen a big price difference between the '95 and '96+ if the condition of the vehicle is the same.

 

I'm willing to wait for the car I really like and that is in good condition and well maintained. What I've found is that I love the Iris Blue color. I did a lot of looking and there are some 993s in the low 20's but they had a lot of miles and looked kinda rough. I do know that you there have been some C*S 993s in good shape that sold for right at and slightly above ~ $35k (as it all depends on how motivated the seller is to get all this done).
