I've been giving it a lot of thought lately. I originally bought the car with the intention of tracking it but never did. I love putting around Wilmington in it as it's a tremendously entertaining drive. However, with the Boss inbound by June, I'm going to run out of garage space and something has to go. I tried to justify keeping the 993 as a daily driver and the Boss as the weekend/track car but it just doesn't make sense.

I'm a bit sad. The car has 111,000 miles but needs nothing. No accidents, full service history since new, the suspension has been refreshed within 1000 miles (PSS10s, spherical front control arm bushings, Revo motor mounts, rear toe arms replaced, M030 sway bars), and the top end was rebuilt at 70,000 miles.

The door check is going to be fixed shortly and I'm going to touch up the front end (111,000 miles of road debris and rock chips).

This isn't an official "for sale" thread as I don't have time to sell a car until late April due to work schedule. I just wanted to throw it out there. I still may keep the car as I don't know if I can emotionally depart with it.

It's beautiful. Use your bonus and build another garage.

RENNDIBBS on this Mr. Bonus. It is after all MY car and you were just HOLDING on to it for me, surely Kevin passed on my contract and first right of refusal on future sale....right???!!!!

Now I just got a C2 but there will always be room in my garage for this special car.

PM me when you're ready to part with it, i'll make it a very easy transaction and would be happy to leave you a deposit today sight unseen and no PPI necessary

Only 111K miles?? What did you and Kevin do? Put it in the garage and look at it??

Such a gorgeous car - hope you decide to keep it! If not, GLWS.

I don't know if forum banter is a legally binding contract but I would be willing to hold the car until after April 15th (no deposit required) for you and give you first dibs assuming you will offer me the same right to first refusal if and when you ever decide to sell the same car.

I'm always interested in seeing how higher mileage cars are being priced. Do you have a ballpark range for what you want to get?

I have seen Ian's car about two month ago. Very clean and good looking C2S.

More importantly, a really good guy.

I guess my 9:41AM PM is not going to be considered?

MrBonus

I haven't gotten to all the PMs yet. Hold on. I'm creating a list. I'm not trying to put anyone out here. I didn't expect this much interest to be quite honest.

haha, yeah, Im guessing my PM is much farther down the list than I thought. I guess a nice looking C2S with high miles and the right maintenance will get lots of looks because it is assumed the price will reflect the miles.

MrBonus

I got 5 PMs on the car. I'm sure you all will understand why I would sell to one of the previous owners first not that you aren't all fantastic potential buyers.

skl2

absolutely.

Thanks Ian. Appreciate it!

Chao, are you looking for a 993?

Any idea about Montreal yet?

Hi There,

I am looking for a more weekend Sunday driver because of spending less and less time with my C2 and its got a lot of track mod goodies. I missed a set of gray euro GT3 seats about one month ago or current car would be perfect for 15% DE car and 85% street. My PSS9 and GT3 sways are set to full stiff and have not adjusted..

Montreal is a go but Wife wants to spend a week up there. She found that if you book those hotels for the week, it is still regular cheap prices. F1 hotel rates are applied to bookings where you arrive on a Thu for the weekend. Therefore, she wants a week vacation in Montreal and still spend the same amount of money for hotel.

Need to buy tickets soon. See you April 2nd and let's map out a plan..
