Looks great in the pics! Don't the seats look used for 38k miles?

I own a car that was sold by them back in 2016 and has since had two other owners yet it’s still for sale on their website. The prior owner who bought from them said it was a nightmare to deal with them lies, delays getting paperwork and title to them, scheduling delivery, etc. but the actual car in this instance was as represented and in exceptional condition as it still is today. I have sent emails asking them to remove the car from their site and no response. I’d steer clear unless it’s your dream car and even then I’d be extremely careful and do extensive due diligence as mentioned.
Always wondered why so much inventory there, easy if you are a listing service and consign much of it. Maybe that's why the delays.

Doesn't sound promising to buy from them.

Well optioned WB with low miles (i.e. <= low 40ks on odo) were selling at low $80's pre-COVID. I know 993s have been on the rise since, but no-story specimens (excl sought after colors) have gone up 15%-20% max, meaning they are getting sold at $100k-$110k at the most. Other than the hardbacks, most of the options are not worth real $$.
I may be wrong, but this one looks priced to sit.
Actually, as someone who owns a similar car, I'll be glad to be proven wrong.

I think it’s priced fairly based on the option sticker.

Don't think those seats are original to car. It was listed here in 2012 with 30,880 miles without those seats

Very interesting. And only 8k miles added in 9 years, guess that's possible if not really driven.

Not a fan of the Aerokit.

As others have said, do your homework, but that really applies to any dealer.

When I was searching for my car I visited TG and they had extensive inventory in their warehouse. At the time they didn’t even have a website, so that must be a relatively recent development.

They let me test drive a 930 and 993, and were generally professional.

I ended up buying elsewhere.

Maybe this was already posted, but this one caught my eye. Some paint work and hasn't been driven much for a long time.

agree on aero kit, not a huge fan either, as for 8k miles that’s pretty typical of many aircooled cars, I bought my 3.2 in 2011 and it had only been driven 2500 miles in the past 10 years.

Yeah, it takes away from the awesome design in my opinion. 993s look best without wings and front end aero (turbo included, though I want one of those too).

True I guess for people who have numerous cars. For me with short driving season and a few choices, at least 1 car gets driven very little because 1 is off site.

That's interesting. I wonder if it's a legit ad. Selling on Craig's List? Really? Two photos?

That's a much better candidate for BaT or PCarMkt...or even eBay.

It may be a nice car, but I doubt it brings $100k. I'd say they'd be doing well to clear mid-80s. But who knows in today's market.

Lot of money for a low mileage C2. Maybe if it was a C4S? Then again, you see some crazy prices on things.

Personally, I love Arena red with a black interior. Where does it even say what the interior color is on this listing?
