Default Opinions on these C2Ss in Canada?

This appears to be a competitive price for a clean, low mile car:

Much less costly but twice the mileage:

I'd go with the silver one. Looks like whoever owned it upgraded it nicely.

Also as much as I like Arena Red I'm not a fan of tan interiors.

If these cars are canadian check the drivers door jamb for the maple leaf
I would go with the silver price is about right for a canadian car high for a US import.
nice color combo low clicks the two cons, non stock wheels (they look good) comfort seats.

The arctic silver 993 lists.. leather interior. I don't see it, check the door handle picture. Back in the day the Full Leather interior option was in the $3,600. area. Additionally, the factory CDR-210 didn't offer Sirius SAT feature... and I'm not sure how this could be AUX'd in . . . Picky, picky, bitch, bitch...

A starting piont would be to have the as built spec's...of both 993s.

Question: to tell if one has full leather option when the build sheet w/ option codes is unavailable, can a proof be the stitch lines on the dashboard seams, like this one:

They both are US (import) cars.

I would say that is correct - so that means both are not full leather.

+1 on the silver too. If you can get that in mid high 50s consider that a good deal here pending mint shape.

The silver car does not have full leather, you would also see double stitch on the door handle and storage bin lid. I rarely see full leather in NA cars, out there just not in high numbers.

C2s or WBs in Canada are commanding a premium, value is holding strong. Not sure if your set on a C2S, but this 4S is nice at Weissach. Asking $62ish, which is good pricing for Weissach. The mods are nice too!

While the silver one is definitely the nicer of the two I think it's much too steeply priced.

I bought my 98 Silver C2S with very similar options (but no upgrades, it was fully stock) and similar mileage this September for over 15k less than what they want for this one. I think it will sit at that price for quite a while.

The market is extremely strong right now - you could sell a C2S with 25K miles to a dealer for a number starting with a 6.

A 993 factory full leather interior has leather door cards / handles, this arctic silver 993 example does not. N'uff said.

When a 993 example doesn't have an original 993 OEM wheel set, do you deduct from the asking price for this?

Thanks guys.

I'm not that fond of what I believe are Champion wheels but it's a bit of a non-issue as I intent to go with three piece turbo twists. I just don't want to pay a premium for wheels I'm going to try to sell.

Hi,
The silver car is local to me. It's at the dealership so I wouldn't expect a lot of movement on their part but they will talk.
The local indie is Forward auto ask for Gary.http://http://forwardcars.com/service/ They're less than a block from the dealer and have an ok relationship.
I can do a Rennfax but things are busy until the weekend.

Jim
