No affiliation but this looks like it might be worth a call for any one in the market.

Yep...it's off the market now. I was emailing the seller about it and within minutes of my email he had a deposit.
Sigh....back to square one. 😢

Looked clean and stock...but my guess is if suspension is factory there is a lot more that is needed. Could be looking at $8k+ worth of refreshing if you use an indy. Given you're in CA with the smog/CEL issues, why not consider RLer's Foxman's 95 OBD1 coupe listed in the classified section. It's a $40k car plus $20k worth of recent work for $0.25 on the dollar; so at $45k you're all in. Plus black interior is much preferred over tan (just my opinion of course

Appreciate the advice u7t2p7. Truth be told I've had black cars all my life and just need a change. Otherwise, I would love to get into foxman's car!
I may end up regretting this though.

Looking at a current RL ad for a silver c2s with high mileage. Appears to be in good condition. Any thoughts on that? I've been reading a number of threads now and you seem to very knowledgable of the current market. In fact you all are knowledgable, so I appreciate the advice I'm getting here and there. Thanks

wonder if it sold for $40K? Good looking car and wonder if those leather rings around instruments were OEM?

mos60n

$49k. That was his buy it now price.

That was a good deal for a low mile 993 but I question if it was owned by a 70 year old lady its entire life. Come on, really?

waizone

BTW - Six Gun, evertime I see your car and garage floor I drool. Looking good

Leander

Why not? She'd have been in her early 50's when she bought it, which seems entirely reasonable. We original owners have to stick together!

Thanks for the kind words Waizone, as anyone who owns one knows,
Black cars need a clean room for a garage.

+993

Whoever buys Foxman's car will not be disappointed!

I'm a bit biased as "my keeper" is a 130k+ miles silver/black C2S and is paired with a 125k+ miles 964 coupe. As these cars age, condition trumps miles. Having the top end done is a big plus. The car seems fairly priced less a few grand for incidentals such as proper wheels/tires and sprucing up of the interior.

Thanks u7t2p7. Just spoke with the seller. Car has been spoken for with deposit already. Damn!

I would concur that more money would need to be spent to make it a nice driving car, but if the story is accurate, she sounds like a beauty. Cheers

The good ones are sure going quickly.
I must say it is nice to see a high mileage S go fast. These are great drivers and with a higher mileage / lower entry fee example you don't need to be as concerned about values. Just drive, maintain and enjoy.
