Default Should I go or should I stay

Hi,

How much would you value a 1995 993 C2 coupe, manual transmission, with 120k miles ? this is not to sale, this me to buy

All looks excellent from a body and mechanics perspective, except the airbag light that stays on.

Thanks in advance for your advices,
F

Methinks you'll get answers in a $10K range from members of the list.

Depends what it's worth to you. In this market given what you said as a purchase I think just over $20K would be fair with a clean bill of health on the car. Airbag light could cost you anywhere from $50 for a reset to the price of a new airbag to fix - I'm guessing, but approaching $1K. Probably on the lower end but a good bargaining item nonetheless. typical wear items I'd be looking for documentation that they had been done. Search the list for typical wear items and check them.

At this price you might want a variance even for worn tires. A set of 17s all around will run you approx $700.

Your location could also affect the price. What part of the country are you in?
Welcome to the forum

Cheers,

Cond. of exhaust system, brakes, engine (leak-down, compression test nos.), ignition, clutch? These things can add up quickly if not factored in. If you do most of your own work, that's a +. If you have to pay others, that's a -. '95=OBD1. That's a big +. If it's a very early '95, no SAI, another +. If it doesn't have the dreaded IMMOBILIZER, that's another big +.

The carfax says that the title has been issued on 04/25/1994.

Should I worry of something ?

Not to worry a lot of the 993's were built in 94. IIRC they were released in Europe in 94 and 95 over here. If the title issue was that early you have an OBD I car and I would venture to say a non-drive block car. All is good IMHO I hate (as do others) drive block.

PM back at you.

I wouldn't worry about the title date, just indicates that it was an early MY95 build, which means no worry about the immobilizer.
