Default Where to Buy: 993 C2S

A little help please...I know patience is the key, but....

97-98 C2S (98 preferred)
Black Interior
Manual
Limited Slip Differential option
No black exterior
Less than 50k miles
No silly modifications, repaint, mechanical issues, collisions, etc.
Prefer white, silver or red exterior...but would consider others, just not black (it was 105 degrees here yesterday)

These requirements have proven to be challenging, even in this market...

thanks!

No, Tiptronic was available for the 2S.

Here is one but not "exactly" what you are asking for. To find your exact car may take a while. After you click on the link scroll down a few posts for pictures of the car.

There very much are tiptronic c2s

It is actually very easy to find a c2s, just not one that fits my description. The Premier car is tan interior and no LSD. The other car is wrong color combo, etc.

Believe me, I have looked in the easy places...!

Most of them are totally worn out by 20K and either need a set of new plates or wholesale replacement with something MUCH better,....

You've been on the hunt for a long time Jonathon. All I can say is keep in there. The GR car you had is still one of my favourites.

Maybe. You read the requirements and tell me? Is this unobtanium?

By the way, the one source I havent figured out is how to do a national Craig's list search... vs. having to just pick states and cities one by one

just emailed them. thanks. please keep them coming, especially any Craig's List finds, because maybe that is the great untapped source for me... wish I could search the nation at once for 97-98 Porsche 911 that would be very helpful...any way?

Certainly reads a little fishy, but worth further investigation. Hope its genuine as the car does 'sound' very good.

I think you're going to have a hard time fulfilling all your criteria especially the LSD/ABD feature. If thats impt I'd be tempted to get an aftermaket system installed as chances are the factory part won;t be working properly anyway.

In my year of searching this was one of the best spec'ed C2S's I came across. I think they were willing to come down to $47K but that was 6 months ago. It has LSD, sport seats etc but grey interior.
