Default WTB C2S

Hello everybody,
Just like title says, I'm looking for a 993 C2S. I am open to all years but would prefer:
Silver, White, Red, Blue.
Clean car and title with under 50k miles, must be manual trans with black or gray interior. I am cash buyer and would pay more or less depending on car and location. I've looked in most sites but havent found anyting yet. pm leads, #'s or cars. Not in a rush and I am located in Northern NJ.

Thanks, Todd

I will keep you in mind if I happen upon info on cars fitting your criteria, but it really is a question of luck, budget. It took me 14 months to find my 4S.

bump for a good guy. Todd was the previous owner of my 4S, a true Pcar nut, and very decent fellow. Those who constantly look thru the classifieds for the sport of it, please keep him in mind.

There is one out there for you but they are getting harder and harder to find. Based on nothing more than my stupid math and wild guesses consider this.

1,752 C2S we sold in the US. <- only factual number in this post.

Assume 1/2 of those have either gone back to European countries or totaled and scrapped/parted out. That takes us to 876.

Assume 1/2 of those are either high mileage cars or low mileage garage queens . That takes us to 438.

Assume 70% of these 438 mid-range mileage cars are not for sale we are down to 132.

I have no idea how many 40K-50K mileage 993 C2S cars are currently listed for sale but I bet its far less than 132. Maybe 10? So where are all the 2S cars you ask? Start by looking in Katy, TX

I figure you have a full time staff looking the way you find stuff Rudy. Thanks for keeping Todd in you thoughts when doing your daily constitutionals.

Ha! The dealer actually got this right. Previous owner must have authored the ad.

Also, the 993 Carrera S has a limited production number which also adds to its exclusivity with 1752 US versions made only in the years 1997 to 1998.

Geez...I'm starting to feel bad that I put about 100K miles on 4 previously owned 993 C2S cars....well....not really feeling THAT bad

That's what I did, not because of rarity of the C2S, but because of price. I found a few C2S but their price were near the TT. The C2S is an incredible nice looking car tough!
