Seems like so many turbos have 25-35K miles. Outliers are punished by "the market." 79K is a heck of an outlier.

Sometimes I feel lucky that I'm not part of the "gotta have black interior" cult. While I don't like that crazy moss green and some of the extreme colors, blue is fine with me. Other factors are more important to me.

I could deal with the blue if it was a ragtop. All I have right now is $25k to spend, but with a court date of 11/23 to figure out the dispostion of the 95 C4. When I looked at MO casenet I got the impression that both respondents basically bagged the courts request for whatever paperwork the arbitrator requested.

[QUOTE=TRINITONY;8015113]- and for a few k more, there are better comparables..ie...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996-...item19c025a725 bet he would let this go at high $50's.

I was going to go view the car in person when it was down in the SF Bay Area, but I figured if I wanted a 993TT, I'd rather wait and pay a 10K more for a lower mile nicer example. I'm sure many fall into this camp as this is likely a 2nd car by an enthusiast for most buyers. Of course it only takes 1 buyer.

Of course I can only wonder why it's for sale again???

It is this type of attitude that has caused Porsche to offer so many interior and exterior color combinations.

That is exactly what I did. I also didn't want a low mileage garage queen that I was afraid to put miles on. But, I also didn't want a higher mileage example. For me, 38,000 miles was the perfect number.

If any 993 is going to gain "classic" status first, it would be the Turbos. As such, I would value a highly-modified version at less than stock, not more. If you just want to go fast in a 911, seems like a 996 Turbo is an easy choice and I believe it's pretty straightforward to mod one into a true monster.
