What's it worth?
I'm going to replace my daily driver and since I don't pay too much attention to 993's and prices lately, I thought I'd ask for input.
My 993 Iris Blue cabriolet has about 85k miles and I'd say is in very good condition.
Repainted to clean up ~13 years of use last year so the paint is in great shape. It has Euro bumper covers front and rear (no bumperettes), the front is the turbo cover. I'll be putting new rear tires on it (S02A). New valve covers and a major clean up to the engine last year (done by Jerry Woods). It has a re-geared transmission with short ratio gears (5th moved to 6th and 2-5 redone) with a light weight flywheel. I added an Alpine iDA-X001 for iPod, and bluetooth/hands free.
What else would a prospective buyer need/want to know?
What do you think it's worth? (Is $35k unreasonable?)

Hate to say it, but even with the tranny re-gear, it seems like you'd be lucky to crack even $30K these days. From what people here are saying, you can get a newer C4S or a C2S with similar mileage for about $35K.
Probably mid to high $20s. Just my 2 cents.
Good luck!

It may be more profitable for you to swap the gearbox and LWF with a local rennlister (like me), and sell the car for a bit less with the standard parts.
PM me if you'd like to discuss.
Cheers,

Jos: Iris blue with light grey/blue interior and a blue top.
I'm not interested in doing a transmission swap. It's not worth the time or effort to me.
Thanks for the thoughts on price - it is what it is and wishing will it make it more valuable.
