Take some sage advice: list it on eBay with an unrealistically high reserve price you think your car would be worth in your dreams. It probably won't sell. Do this a few times, and see what it tops out at. Average the final numbers out. That's the market price.

If it DOES go over your crazy high reserve price, then you got the highest dream price you thought your car is worth.

Now, close this thread, because pricing threads are frowned upon.

Trust me, this is sage advice

Gray interior is not a favorite it tends to look dirty. Not knowing what work may or may not need doing = $48 - 54 on the high side

And don't forget to add the following statement to your eBay ad, because it will create a lot of buyer excitement:

"One of the last air-cooled Porsches."

It gets them every time.

And... "Just like Seinfeld's"... And... "I think that these cars will increase in value 4 fold over the next three months, gets yours before they're all gone"...

Thank You, All:

I appreciate the feedback… And, sincere apologies if I violated some kind of Rennlist forum decor - I did not mean to create any strife… I just need advice and hope for honest input; from one Porschephile to another…

I only asked about pricing because in the ATL area, 993s seem to be very expensive and I no longer can drive my C2 due to some medical issues (Disabled Vet). While, I love this 993; it is smooth, tight and gets more attention than a 997, I feel it would be better served to sell it to someone who could drive it like it is meant to be driven… So, great hobby, lifestyle, Zen retreat, etc…

Again, thank you for your input, feedback and consideration…


Kindest Regards,

JM

Nope, none smoker… Just a sh*tt* pic… Silver w/Gray interior…

All of this negativity is making me realize that while it selling it is the right move for my family, it is not what I want…

I thought I was "nuts" about anything Porsche and "messed" myself any time I saw something outside of my realm - I was WRONG…

Cheers…

Please DO NOT HATE me - New Guy…

No, the Cups were "lost"…

I know that the originals Cups are so much more appropriate and valued, until you put a PSS9 on your 993, it will make you realize that '18-'19 are required for that beauty…

Thank you…

Cheers…

Looks like a nice, clean lower mile 993and the wheels don't look too bad. I'd advertise here, PCA and locally on Craigslist. Start in high $50's And I'm sure you will get some action. GLWS

Whatever you're ASKING price, somebody is gonna want to work and lowball you. Nature of the beast. Ask 5k more than what you realistically want for the car.
Cars priced to high get instantly passed by...

I'm not much on value threads, but I will bite. Thank you for your service, Sir. I graduated Emory University many years ago and miss Atlanta and the peach tree state. Stone Mountain was a favorite.

Depending on condition, your car is likely worth somewhere in low 50's. If it hasn't already sold through this thread, get a set of black mats from Lloyd's (Darin at FD Motorsport can fix you up), put on a cheap set of cup II's which can be had for $500, and list the car in the Spring. And try to find a nice shaded spot on the grass to take photos of your exterior and interior. This shots in the sun with partial shade do not flatter the car, particularly the interior.

This would be a much better place if everyone just responded like Jim does.
