What's it worth? 98 - 993 Cabrio
I am out of garage space and am considering selling my 993. I am the original owner. Bought it new in 98. It's got 44k on it. Always garaged. No accidents or dings. Interior is flawless. Only mod was suspension lowered. It's been so long I don't recall what system. It is one of the very last 993's built.

I am only looking for some opinions from knowledgeable Porsche owners. My local dealer is working some numbers for me and I want to be able to keep him honest.
I haven't yet decided whether or not to sell the car. There was a time when I told my wife that at the end...I want to be buried in my 911.

I'm no expert, but original owner has value, especially if you have all records from new.
Options? Pic of option sticker?
More pics would be nice too. Interior, etc.
I'm not a cab man, but my GUESS with the miles and apparent great condition, mid $40s.
Total guess, so please don't flame me too badly. I don't follow cabs but thought someone should get the ball rolling.
My guess is you will be able to do better here v dealer due to their need to profit on every transaction. Plus, looks like a car that belongs in a Rennlister's hands.
Better yet, keep it another year. I bet it won't be worth less...
Good luck , whatever you choose. Now, someone who knows the single owner cab market can chime in

FWIW, the "whats my car worth" threads have received their share of criticism on RL from some (but not all of course). Those who are critical of them tend to feel these are just "trolling" threads designed to gin up interest in the car and potential buyers, perhaps even a bidding war. Especially given that there are tons of ways to determine the value of your car (search the RL classifieds for one) without having to post a thread asking for input. Be prepared to get flamed by some as a result. That you have been a user of RL for 10+yrs without ponying up the $$$ for a membership,relatively small number of posts, minimal details/pics likely won't help either.
That all being said, as an owner of a 60k '98 Cab myself, I love your car and given the 1-owner status, good color combo, (hopefully) documented service history, etc. I'm thinking low/mid 40's too.
What's the build date and last 4 #s of your VIN?

Guys, go easy on him, he might just BE a member....
Read the notice at the top of the page.....perhaps your "lifetime member" status got blown away accidentally. Click on the link there. For other issues, submit a post to the Rennlist Member Help (Help for Members Issues Only) forum.

I see names here yet of people that I know and have done drives with over the years. And I did pony up the $$ for a membership. If it expired I wasn't informed. But as I already stated I thought I had purchased a lifetime membership.
