Default Officially On The Market: 993 Coupe (sorry no Cabs)

I sold my 944S2 so we are on the market for a 993 in the $20-$35k range (depending on condition / mileage / maintenance / options). Must be manual gearbox.

I'm really looking for a 993 C2 or C2S - hoping for one with LSD and upgrade suspension such as PS9s. I will consider a C4 or C4S.

Thanks.

Joel

Hey Joel,

You are "in" the market. You may get a better response if you edit your title. "On" the market implies that you are selling.

You are making the right move, the 993s are fantastic. Lots of good ones bought an sold here.

Best,

You may have a hard time finding a good WB car in that price range. Good luck!

Best,
Yeah, I was confused by that statement too. Expected to see a car listed for sale.

Thanks for the tip. I'm "in" the market (can't edit thread title it seems).

You can find a C2 or maybe a C4 in your $20K-$35K range. Any C2S/C4S in that price range, however, will probably have very high mileage or be pretty well banged up.

Nonetheless, good luck!

Uh, you needed this thread to figure that out. You truly sold your car short with those miles, if all checks out.

It seams you really don't know the 993 market very well. It's going to be VERY hard to find a very clean well sorted out car for $20-25k!!!

If you find ANY C2S or C4S for $25, GRAB IT with out even looking at it. Very nice sorted out ones are well in the $45k-55k range.

In your range, you are stuck with a stock C2 in the 1995 range, or a well used 96-98 narrow body.

Good luck

Not sure what you are getting at with this comment, but I would not distinguish between a '95 and '96-'98, when applying your logic as stated above.

I'm getting at, that there are not a lot of 993's in the $20-25k range. The cars that are in that range tend to be well over 100,000mi, & need some work. Really if you are going to buy a 993, your FAR better off going a bit over your $25k budget & get a nice sorted cared for 993 in the $30-35k range.

Every time I see a 993 for sale, the 1995's tend be a few grand less then the 96+ ones.

FWIW, I paid well over $50k for the C4S 37kmi & $35k for the 95 C4 with 71kmi.
Both of them I feel are well worth what I paid. Out of the 10 or so 993's I looked at for a DD, only 2 were under $25k, & they needed some love, & were well over 100,000mi.
