Default Current 993 Prices

What should I expect to pay for a C2 coupe?
Read the sticky but most of the info is not too current.
Anyone have one for sale?

That is a pretty broad question. High mileage cars with cosmetic issues can be had in the low 20s. Perfect low mileage C2s are upper 30s and low 40s.

^^^^^What Greg said. BIG price deifferential from bottom to top. Mileage, condition, history, options, colour, many factors will determine price.

I bought a cosmetically perfect '96 C2 four weeks ago for $21k. Has 103K miles, sport seats, PSS9, MY '02 rims, full service history etc. It looked about right for the market price. But - prices can vary wildy depending on condition.

I sold my C4S recently with 102k on the clock for 22.5 but then it did stay in the family so the price was a little skewed. Mechanics were perfect and interior/condition was 8/10.
Once the car goes over 100k, seems like prices drop but if you get one with records and was well cared for, the mileage shouldnt scare you. These engines last a long time.

I am always surprised at the price ranges given in response to these types of questions. That is, they are low! Coming from owners of the cars you would figure pride would skew the suggested prices UP!

In any case, I think the above suggestions are on the low side myself. Have a quick look around and see what you see. The examples of low $20s above I think are exceptional. You'd probably be able to find a nice car in the mid thirties if you are willing to look around and travel to get it. I agree the range is broad, though I would start at about $30 and go up from there.

Ummm... hight mileage cars with cosmetic issues can be had for $16-17, not low 20s. Low 20s buys you a very good driver with 70-80K miles and without major issues. A really low miles perfectly car would be in the upper 20s, although it would not be easy to sell. This is all for regular 95 C2 coupes with sticks. Tips are a bit cheaper.

Pride... Pride has nothing to do with facts. I sold one and bought one juts this past April.

I have not seen any 993 6 speed coupes go for $16-17k. Maybe ebay specials with prior accident damage. Really low mile perfect 993 for upper 20s? Where were these cars when I was in the market? FWIW I sold my 993 C4 coupe with 55k miles for $36.9 in May.

I have seen them as low as 12,000 with a clean title and as high as 55,000 for a NB Coupe.

Giving the age (history) of these cars added with the cost of service and parts, your going to see large price gaps.

This time of the year I see them pop up for around 20% under fair market value.

You can find a very nice driver in the low 20's if you look.

Deekay.. White coupe, PSS-9's, MY02's, Hardback sport seats 22,000... That was a great buy.

Some times a 993 can be so great that the buyer has no issues spending at the top end as 55k can't
even buy a new pickup truck.

I don't subscribe to those numbers either, especially after KBB re-evaluated the models market value. Only cars with some major stories are going to be that cheap.
