Default 98 C2S - is it worth 75k?

They want close to 75k for this car which seems like 10k too much. Anyone disagree? I do like Slate but haven't ever seen it on a 993.

That is steep; turbo pricing and the mileage is not super low. But sport seats, very rare color. I will say that is one of the best Porsche dealers I have ever been to. And in one of the most beautiful places in the country. Great 993 but only you can decide if its worth the money. Good luck!!!!

Great color + 1998 C2S + hardbacks= very desirable...

However 45k miles while low isn't enticing the the keep it in a bubble and wait for 6-digit values crowd. The aftermarket carbon fiber, grey interior and modest option configuration don't help it's value. I think in today's strong market that's a high $50's to low $60's car, but even at that they will have to be patient and find the right buyer.

all those pics...and not one of the option sticker.

Very pretty car, but...is that carbon oem, looks kinda funny to me.

perfect ride height, and looks like spacers on the rear wheels to me.

Authentic Big Red's, or simple paint.

option sticker would tell ya

$75K, to someone...IF they can find them

$65K, still TT money

a solid $55-58K car with that mileage IMHO

My man Jeff back in the hunt. Been wondering what is in your stable these days. I think it's kinda high but 98' C2S cars aren't readily available especially with sport seats and 993 WB cars have jumped up $5K in the 15 months that I sold you back your Targa and picked up my 97' 2S.

Keep us in the loop.

It's not slate gray, it is black metallic.

Yup. Not slate grey, higher mileage. $55K. More, if you're desperate for it.

I think it seems high. I just bougt this 96 slate grey tt with Ruf bumpers & steering wheel (still have the OEM stuff) with 31k miles for $77k. I think the dealer is $10 to $15k too high.

Nice color. Not the best interior combo. And the price is crazy. Otherwise, a great deal.

I thought about offering to pay $75K, if they guaranteed to buy it back in three years at $70K. Oh...and that they provide an extended warranty with that price. What do you think?

For the same $75,000 I will sell you my '97 993 TURBO which is also metallic black paint/black interior (mine also has the metallic black sport seats!) and nearly the same miles (mine has 57 vs 46).

Oh, and mine has red seat belts and Fister D exhaust as an added bonus ...

Now which car would u rather have at that price??
