Is the white instrument face original? Can't seem to find the "Carrera S" sign on the Tach

No HTwo O

Very nice car. GLWS. Very desirable color combo.

1) Get the ding and scratch fixed, document with photos. Use the best shop you can find. The next owner is going to want it fixed in the end anyways.
2) Don't remove the +$7k factory aero kit
3) Vacuum the interior, and re-shoot those photos. Maybe even buy new Lloyd's matts. You can't try to sell a car for near $50k with a dirty interior.

My C2S had the same White faces from the factory without the "S" as well.

I would defiantly fix the small issues as the price to fix is far less than the drop in value in the car as is. As for the wing, that is a harder question. I think that most people who are looking for an S in that price range would be looking for a split grill, but a non-enthusiast may favor the wing. That said, the non-enthusiast probably would be looking for a Tip Boxster instead.

If I was buying this I would look at it like I was paying $40K for a low mile S and then spending 9K in work for the upgrades that you already did. Hopefully there are people who will look at it the same so you get the $49K.

My apologies if this is how it comes from the factory. I thought they would be the same as the black gauges (bearing "Carrera S" in the Tach)

1) Have it detailed professionally if it is not your thing, but you definitely don't want to show those pictures to a prospective buyer as it does not signal a meticulously maintained car.
2) That is a high-dollar, factory wing - keep it.
3) I would fix the imperfections professionally with before/after pictures. If you don't fix it prospective buyers are just going to beat you down on the price. It was not in an accident - so there is nothing to hide.

GLWS - Beautiful Car!

Sold my 22k mile 993 today. A fantastic price for a narrow body 993, $49,900.

Almost $50K for a NB?... well sold that man.

Good advice. The other thing I'd consider would be replacing the MY02 wheels with whatever is on the options sticker (I'd guess hollow spokes given the high-option level of the car). A low-mile car is usually bought by someone looking for that "close to new" experience so looking like it did on the showroom floor is ideal.

WOW! Glad to see people understanding that a low-mile 993 is worth $$$ in any form. What you get in the driver's seat is the same whether WB or NB. And some (like me) might prefer the NB. I love them all but, just as many (probably the vast majority) prefer the WB's hips, I prefer the simplicity of a spoilerless NB coupe.

My (now his) 993 is a fine example for sure. Multiple first place winner at several PCA events.

Not as much as you would get for it if it had the hardback sport seats.

Had the same setup in a '97; that fixed wing, despite the $7K option price seemed to take away from the value. The one I had, the wing was installed at the factory. Doubtful if Porsche would have installed the wiring harness required for the retractable spoiler; the manual switch certainly wasn't there.

With the cosmetic work needed, list for $40-45K

This very car is back in my possession; I confirm the Script is not there....thanks for taking such great care if it Kevin, I love those RS door panels .

These gauges are part of the 'Aluminum Look' package and although they look 'white' are actually a light silver color and for some reason, they came from the factory without the Carrera S script on them at the bottom of the Tach like the black faced gauges that came standard.

I'm starting to miss the car, Bart.

I hope you're enjoying it.

Minor issues - fix them and list for $49,900....tell the people you came down from $52,900 because you fixed a tiny scratch and dent.

Remember, you only need 1 person to buy it.....it doesn't matter what the rest of them think.
