Hi Rennlisters,

Im looking to buy a C2S in Vesuvius or Polar Silver with less than 40k miles (if possible). It must be a 6 speed and in great condition. If any one knows of any for sale or are planning to sell one themselves, please PM me. I love this forum and know this is the only place to fulfill 993 dreams!

Thanks beforehand!

Mike

Nice color choice mike, good luck with your search and you will love the VESUVIUS

Not for sale , but I think mike should get an ideal what color to go with

Not positive, but wasn't the standard silver for the 2S Arctic? I believe Polar was available, but as a special order in '97 and '98

Opo - thanks for the wishes. When I last searched for my 993TT, it took an everyday ritual of checking everywhere I knew and finally, with luck, I found her. Now I know Im not making it any easier by keeping my options narrow, but I hope perseverance will pay off again!

SilverBox - everyone has a price, what's yours?

I can only imagine what vesuvius must look like first hand, guess I'll have to wait till I find one, but so far even on a computer monitor it looks awesome. There's a Vesuvius one on ebay with pretty low miles, but it's Tiptronic...darn! And it has some interior bits that aren't really my style.

I also love Polar Silver. Had to choose between that and black for my turbo. Despite it's popularity, I still love black so had to get that one out of the way. Glad you guys are still enjoying yours and they look great btw! From what I have read, it looks like Vesuvius 993's grew on trees in Europe and not many made their way over here.

Seen the one on eBay , but being a TIP and all that ugly wood trim its going make the car hard to sell....

Mike , patience will pay off and your baby will be in your garage soon, will keep My eye's open for you

Not sure. I remember coming across a lot of Polar Silver 2S when I was in my hunt. It was harder for me to find the Arctic.
But that was over a decade ago so don't quote me.

There is a '97 C4S on eBay right now. Seems pretty solid. Reasonable price. Sounds like it needs a clutch. It's silver, just can't tell from the pics and they don't have a shot of the vehicle codes so I can't tell.

That's a beater. Pics dont do him any favors.

And this one is in better shape. A 98 C4S, in polar silver. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...ht_1127wt_1078

Sorry, don't know if you're dead set on the C2S or not. Some people seem to like the turbo brakes and 4 wheel drive of the C4S.

FWIW, I have no affiliation with any of these, I am just in the market for a C2S or C4S myself, so I look actively.

Yes. A 2S in Polar would be Paint to Sample from a previous model year because they switched from Polar to Arctic as standard in 1997. Lot's of '96 C4S's in Polar however ..

Opo - thanks for keeping a look out. Love the folks' support on this forum!


Matthew-
Yes, Im looking for a C2S only. I have a turbo with awd so thought Id mix it up with a C2S this time around. Any reason why this C4S doesn't speak to you? It looks like a really solid example.

matthewlesko

It is a nice example indeed. I am actually looking at tiptronics as my wife has agreed to the purchase as long it is an automatic. Sacrifices all around, but better than no Porsche at all.
