Huge WTF were they thinking with those yellow seat backs..
That car needs some serious PPF alternate color wrapping, seat backs included. I would wrap it silver and change the floor mats, save the wheels and get some solid spoke 993TT stock refinished wheels. I can live with the rest. This one is akin to a Green/Green/Green 993 Turbo S that sold at Marshal Goldman recently for $750K. I mean who specs a car in all green? Same guy that specs a car in all Blue. Will be fun to watch. 993TTS is Holy Grail of aircooled so a piece of history for sure.

Lovely looking example of a low mileage 95. All stock which probably means there's a fair bit needed for new suspension as well as any other bits and pieces.

Can't get over the Red.. but at 1/184, 185 if you count project Gold 993TTS, this will make someone very happy. I would have to trade half the stable to get into one of these and I am not ready to do that any time soon. Link below, no affiliation:

Very cool car. Red grows on you--ask me how I know.

That car has been sold, registered, and or serviced in more than ten states and at least one Canadian province. It reminds me a bit of the Meissen Blue 997 TT I had that sported only 5,500 miles on the odometer and had travelled twice around the world on the back of a truck.

I can't get over the fish-like gill on the rear quarter panel--so cool.

Saw this yellow 993 at a Kentucky Jeep dealer on FB marketplace.
They are asking $40k.
Not the best carfax though...

That one has been listed for a while now. Just looking at pictures of the interior, it looks pretty beat up

it might just be me, but nothing about a 993 being available at a jeep dealer makes me feel positive about the car. could be a great car, could be a good dealer - it's just a circumstance that makes me wonder how it happened. i would proceed cautiously on that one.

Guy was probably upside down on a loan and needed to buy a new car to bail him out of it. That is if a lender would loan money on a car that was previously totaled.

Yeah, I personally I have a rule not to buy cars that have been totalled, but thought some folks would like to see a bunch of pics of a yellow 993.

Hi, this one caught my eye:

https://www.snbmotors.com/details/us...e-911/63583094

Was looking at 2014 CPO, not a DIYer, but have reliable independent mechanic for any work. Appreciate any ideas and input. Seller has lowered price to $37,000. Thanks!

You're new to this forum but don't know if you're new to air-cooled P-cars.
If not, from a pure price-point anything between $33-36k sounds reasonable for a higher-mileage tippy.

If, however, you're new to 993s or earlier P-cars, then you should:
  1. Read up on this forum.
  2. Find a local air-cooled specialist to do a PPI (google Rennlist 993 PPI Phoenix); figure that would cost anywhere between $300 to $700. Don't go to a Porsche dealer...

Patrick Motorsport is nearby and has a good reputation. Maybe consider them for a PPI. I have no affiliation but my friend had his 964 worked on recently (suspension, alignment, steering rack) and is very pleased with their work.

Contact Scott McIlvain at McIlvain motors. He can do a PPI for you as well in Phoenix. They do great work.
