I wouldn't spend more than $27-28k... You can buy clean 993s with less than 80k miles for $30-35k all day long depending on where you are at.

Thank you guys. The windshield was replaced at a local shop that does all the service for Porsche of Greenwich. I actually took it to Safelite and they installed the wrong windshield and did a horrible job. I complained to the insurance company and told them it was not up to par. Took it to the shop Porsche recommended and they did an awesome job.

High $20's -- but might take a while to find an enthusiast buyer who values the mods, especially the mix-n-match interior.

I could be wrong, but it seems like your precise and fastidious behavior in caring for this car will carry over to your next vehicle. Then you will obsess over it too.

I wonder why you don't just drive the car and enjoy it. I can't imagine a more fun car to drive every day.

Then again, if you want something different then go for it. Personally, I have done this before and regretted it because I was just chasing an unattainable goal--a nice car that I don't obsess over.

So now I just drive the crap out of this car and use the money I would have spent on a new car on the one that I already love.

GLWS, it's a great car!
Slightly modified opinion, but along these same lines...

The only thing that worries me is the accident on the record. I know 993 people are crazy about that. It was a minor accident and repaired the correct way but do you think this will effect the selling price?

What offset Turbo twist is that? Do you need to roll the fender? GLWS!

I am confused at the valuation being thrown around here. What is the $10K above market value in mods consists of? RS kit is not OEM. How much return does one expect on a maintenance item? $0.50 on the dollar?

At the end of the day, it is a 140K mile car with accident history that is maintained well. What is that valued at?

1) I'd have seriously consider your car if I were in the market.
2) $30k sounds fair.
3) 140k ml on odo makes yours a PERFECT DAILY DRIVER!! Look nowhere else.
4) Yours is the 1st 993 I see w/o leather seats. Are those aftermarket?

Oops, thought yours is a WB. For NB, take $2k off so I'd say $28k; and this include benefits of the top end rebuild. If not, it's a $22-23k car.

Sidenote: what's the tint doing in CT...?

Only a $2k difference for a WB?!

I would expect this car to sell around $27-28k as it sits. If it were my car I would put the stock seats and steering wheel in and sell those seperately.

I think you could sell it pretty quick for 30k. Perhaps too quick. Might take a little while longer in the low 30's. Depends if you can find someone who falls in love with your mods. That would be worth a several k to them right there. Rebuilt PSS9's is a big plus too. How many miles were on them and did you notice a big difference after the rebuild? (I have Pss9's too)

The car looks great and that's impressive list of maintenance. Good luck if you decide to sell.

A $10-12k diff can easily exist for cars w/ odo in the 40k-70k range.
At >140k ml, that diff is down to $5k max. I took only $2k off because of the value of MODs over stock, most of them are tasteful.

With all due respect to the 'potential' seller, you and I have no skin in this and so can pontificate all day...
