Perfect Ocean Blue 993 Cab : question of value?
I saw an 1996 Ocean Blue 993 today,
70,000 miles
1 owner, responsible
no track days
6-speed manual
perfect paint 10/10 (except 1 spot on bumper)
brand new blue top - absolutely perfect fitment (less than 1 month old)
classic grey leather interior
electric seats
alpine headunit (2 yrs old?)
maintained at S-Car-Go (in San Rafael) exclusively
sport exhaust upgrade
pulled front and rear fenders and rolled
turbo twist wheels with spacers
turbo front bumper
turbo-s foglight/intakes
litronic headlights
----> QUESTION: What is this car worth?
anyone want to take a stab at this?

Mike, are you really trying to sell the smurfmoblie after all you went through getting it perfected? I'd think you'd rather get circumcised again before you would sell it. Maybe all that ribbing about the color finally got to you eh?

The real question is, what's the status of the SAI at that mileage? Because if you need a top end done on it (which you probably do, if my own 97 C2 cab is any measure, it had very worn exhaust guides at 60k miles although it ran well, but it was throwing codes), you gotta subtract it off the top. If it's had the top end done properly, and the clutch and suspension are done, too, that's a pretty attractive car there around $35k.

95's don't have the SAI issue because they are not OBD 2 cars ...
The car can still run perfectly well even if the exhaust guides are worn, although it will drink a little oil. It's the failed emissions that necessitates actions, either rebuilding or trying to clean the ports.
Most of the 993's I've owned have always used some oil, a quart or so ever 1000-1500 miles. But since my 97 was rebuilt, it hasn't used a drop ... 15,000 miles later.
