Looking at a 97 Speed Yellow C2S (private seller) with Lo Mi's. I love the color, which I guess should be "enough", but also like to drive my car(s) and eventually sell them. I know it is not Silver nor Black, but would value the opinions of other Porschephile's.

Also, any way to look up product numbers by color?

Thanks

Speed Yellow is considerably more rare than silver or black. More so on a C2S. I'd be on that like a fat kid on a cheeseburger.

If it's air cooled and a WB it doesn't matter if it's purple you won't get hurt on it. What is low miles? 8K or 28K are two different animals.

I don't think your going to have much luck looking up #'s by color. Many are even having challenges with finding proven documented #'s by models.

I'll even say to add a bit of premium for SY, at least I know I would pay more for it esp in a WB or TT, it's really not very common.

At the end of the ownership, is $2K-$5K-$10K(?) difference going to matter? Meaning you'll be at risk of missing a mortgage payment, or explaining to your wife you can't take the extra vacation?

It's: 1. widebody, 2. low miles. (Assumed more-or-less stock, clean title, no "oops, forgot to mention it was repaired in the past", etc.)

Thanks for the perspective guys.

What color is interior?

Why the hell would you care what others think? By the time it comes time to sell, the way things are going now, there will be 0 difference what color the car is. I venture to guess that it would not matter what condition the car is, how many times it's been hit or if it has 500K miles and no engine.

Personally, I've owned my SY cab for 4.5 years after owning an Aventurine cab for 6 years. I like both colors for different reason, but SY always bring a smile both to me and to those around. That is enough in my book. If you like it, buy it, own it, don't worry one bit about resale value. In the case of 993 it'll probably be there regardless.

I have a Speed Yellow 993, it now sprouted a yellow New Beetle right next to it!
Once you go yellow, there's no looking back!

Not being a fan of yellow cars....if there was a car to buy in yellow, it's a wide body 993!

P-daddy

I'd pay a little more for SY!

RodKnock

I agree. However, I'd work the "yellow is a tough sell" angle to get the price down.

SY rocks!
specially with a grey or blue interior.
be brave.

I should have bought SY when I had the chance go for it! It will be sunny in your garage all winter long!
