Might sell my 993- Thoughts on price? Any interest?
I'm half considering selling to move on to a 4S or Turbo and thought if I could get $36K, it might be do-able. A year ago, it would have sold immediately at a higher price, but unsure in current market. Currently, some are asking far more for something I would think would be on par mine while mediocre examples are under $30K.
Am I being realistic? (If either Mike or Mel took me up on my offer of a straight-up trade for either of their Turbos, I wouldn't be having these flights of fantasy.
)
45K miles, details in signature below, picture in avatar.

Ehhhh, I would say $36K is not realistic. Not that I know anything about anything, but I think a good deal for you in the current conditions would be $32K. Unfortunately, like everything else, our cars have tanked in the past year. You might have gotten $36K 2 years ago, but I doubt you could now.
All that being said, you got nothing to lose if you put it up for $38K and see if you get any bites. Looks like a very nice car.

I think you could get 36k jimbo without any problem. It's a very nice car that has been well taken care of. Better looking in person to! Good luck with the sale brother.
P.S. Just take your time. It will sell.

Green hurts it (I have an Aventurine car myslef). I'd say $28K tops, unfortunately. You might want to advertize it for $29.9K and see if someone would bite. If you advertize anywhere near $36K it will just sit there.

Thanks, guys. I'm probably going to stick with this one, but it was worth the exercise and I appreciate the input.
It would likely cost at least $35-38K (plus a lot of time) to get another nice low-mileage C2 and sort out to what I have now so, even if I found a 4S or Turbo, it would likely cost upwards of $10K beyond purchase price for taxes and to sort it out, too. I bought this one with a plan to keep it for at least as long as the last one (27 years), so the plan is probably still intact!

Jim,
I'm sure you realize that, like the housing market, you'll benefit from the power of being a purchaser in a down market even though a sale may not garner the most moola.

Good choice Jim. Like you stated, buying a TT or "S" is just a starting point. Sorting it out can really add up. For what it's worth, I think AG looks great on 993s.
