FEELER: 993 C2 for sale
#31
You bring up a good point. The top end work was done at roughly 55K, I guess the owner at the time just didn't have the funds to replace it. Oh, and the top end receipt shows $8k+!! The LSD rebuilt was another few grand as well. These major services are what attracted me to this car in the first place.
Very cool that amazon has clutch kits. And look, it ships free with super saver shipping! lol.

I know, I'm not going to take an offer too far off of 30K...but man this market is pretty bad. Good thing is that I don't need to sell my car, so I can have it sit for years and it wouldn't bother me.
I just hope potential buyers feel the same way and both parties walk away happy.

Yeah I understand the added expense of a clutch kit. But damn, a guy is already dropping at least $5500 and prolly more for a top end. And if he is doing it because he loves the car and plans to keep it, seems like he'd pony up the $800 or so for new clutch parts since you have already paid for the labor essentially.
After showing this car to the g/f, she sent me back a link saying Amazon is having a sale on clutch kits. I was like, whatever, they won't have a 993 clutch assy. Hell yeah they do, ha. I'll take one with my Harry Potter book please:

My independent in LA (not porsche specific) let me bring in parts all the time back when I used him for my M3. Never had issues. But yes, some independents want to know exactly what they're putting in your car so they don't have the potential for issues later.

Thanks for the kind words. If people with 993s for sale just keep to their guns and don't settle for low 20's, the value of 993s will recover. I'm not letting mine go for low 20's, no way.

I hoping for the same with respect to my stock portfolio that is down significantly. Every night I say..."it will eventually come back". But the market dictates value. If you do not need to sell it, just enjoy it. If you are somewhat serious about selling your beautiful 993, you will need to address today's market values. Its a buyer's market. Unfortunately, not one for a seller.

I'm buying their expertise to solve complex problems based on their experience. I'm VERY good at sourcing hardware of all kinds...I guess that's MY expertise! I prefer to DIY if I'm reasonably certain of a successful outcome. What I don't have time for is to "try stuff" and experiment. When I bought the car, my brakes were squeaking badly. If I did it myself, and they still squeaked, I'd have no one else to blame!

This might be something worth considering. My first impression of the car was that the wing was a bit over the top for my taste. That said, there's no way I'd let that car go for mid-20s. If you can afford to hang onto it, then I'd ride out this downturn and list it again when the market improves.
