It comes w/a free crack pipe so the next morning after the purchase you can "smoke up" as you think about what you just spent on it

Let's face it, the higher the price asked for these cars, the better it is for us.
I personnaly think it will sell. Don't know the exchange rate of sterling v dollars but would guess it's about the price of a nearly new 997 of which there are many available. Much harder to find a nearly new 993 with that mileage.

I think it is unique and factory but unique decreases it mass appeal hurting price. Probably really a 55k car IMHO.

Anyone want me to do a Rennfax? I am local. LOL.

Could be on consignment.

I agree, not much to like about it except for the odometer.

A price that would even make Sloan and Ray Joseph would blush!

Yes it will. But not anywhere close to that price. Similar money would get you a low-mile Mk.1 997 GT3 and change. Or, you could get a true "garage queen" 98 C2S (low miles and desireable options/colours) and a decent, average mileage cab.

I wouldn't necessarily say that...I much prefer the regular (non hardback) seats... But that price, for that car, is ridiculous by any standard. I wish him best of luck on the sale though.

Ok I've been doing some calculating. $99,000 is approx £68,000. With all these options, this car probably cost £85,000 ($122,292) in 1998. My argument is that you will just not find a car with such low mileage (it's new). For those comparing this car to a 997 gt3, well I would like to have both and it's likely that whoever buys this already has a 997 (and a Ferrari).
The pink carpet and the rear spoiler deffinatley have to go.

Could be another "honey, I can't sell it for what's it's worth. Looks like I have to keep it."

Doesn't appear to even have a cd player. I bet cassettes sound great on the hi-fi option though...

Now that would make sense!

Purple or pink carpet? WTFingF?!? Has anyone ever seen another 993 with pink/purple carpet?

$125k MSRP? Why? What were they thinking when they ordered this with that hideous carpet? I know, they weren't thinking. They were high...

Reduced $30K.......still a lot of $$$$ for a car that seems to have an identity crisis.
