I bought my 993 in 2013 for less than $8k. Super sketchy looking, poorly done Craigslist ad. Bought without a PPI for that price, and the issues it had were easily addressed. Turned out to be a real cream puff, and I still have it.
I remember when you first posted about this..... unreal. Probably looked at Kelly Blue book and went off that! OOF.. Best deal ever..
I bought my 1996 coupe from a RL'er in January of 2006 for $39k shipped to LA from Kauai.
The car had 64k miles, a Batphone console, Big reds, RS shift rod and lever, RS motor mounts, MY02 wheels, PSS-9s, KLA strut bar and Euro TT sways from Gert and Tarret droplinks (I think). He was the second owner and put like 20k miles on it in a year and a half tearing around Kauai. It was a lot of money for that car at the time but it had all of the upgrades I had wanted and the owner was very hands on and meticulous (I think he had records of every time he checked the tire pressure). My avatar pic is from the dewy morning I picked it up at the port of LA. What an amazing drive home it was that day!
96 C2 Cab, 89k, $34,000. Bought it March 2020, right before the world stopped. Sweated out the delivery, but luckily it was on truck with a driver from Springfield MA who wanted to get home.
'95 C2 Cab. Bought it December 12, 1997 with 50,891 miles on it for $32.5k. Only mods were an Alpine head unit, Polk Audio speakers, big amp in the frunk and narrow body hollow spokes. I'm 3rd owner, car was sold new at Hoehn Porsche, Carlsbad, CA. Now just over 96k miles.
March/April 2020, 80K GBP, roughly 98.5 USD. 1997 993 C2S manual. I HUGELY overpaid because I was inexperienced, in a hurry, it was day 1 of lockdown, and I was bored.

IMO the price sounds reasonable. Why do you think you overpaid?
yes i'm gonna be that guy to revive a 15 year old thread but I'm curious if any of y'all still have your 993s
Did you ever think of the pain this might cause to some people?
My 993s are long gone, including "the one that got away".
On another note, great to see so many familiar handles and avatars from the mid to late 00's...

My best bought 911 was probably my 96 Polar Silver C4S which I picked up in '07 with 81k mi for $32k. The car was in excellent condition, was owned by a PCA instructor, had a top end already done and came with a one-inch stack of receipts.
Sold my 95 C4 around 2013 for what I paid for it 6 years earlier after 60.000 mi of daily driving. it was the most reliable car I have ever owned, and some of the most fun.
It was replaced with a 2008 BMW M5, as the kid and wife were having a hard time both fitting in the 993 at the same time.
Sold the 97 C4S around 2016 so my wife could go out on her own to start her own business.
In 2018 I got a 2016 991 GT3, and have been very happy with that, but do miss the 993's
