Default 4s 132k Miles.

Really looking for a 993 I can drive (not a collector) but can’t seem to get away from wanting the wide body

Thoughts on this and price?

^^ Great looking car- I am bias to AR! ^^ some nice options with the wing and hi fi package too. If it checks out ( PPM-wise) i think that's a fair price for the miles.

I have been scouring the 993 market obsessively for six months or more. Granted, I have been focused on cars with much lower miles--typically <50k--but still I see a lot. Personally, for that money, much as I love the WB, I would buy a much, much lower mileage NB. Or, try to stretch money and buy a car with half the miles.

Also, that's a Canadian car and much as I would buy one, many other people wouldn't, in the event you wanted to sell.

If you REALLY like THAT car, I would make an offer in the low $40s, tops.

I would love a low mileage car but I just don’t want to take something that is becoming so collectible and drive the collectibility out of it. I WILL DRIVe IT.

I have have the budget for one nice or two cheap fun cars and will never have space/desire/funds to collect and store rare cars.

I drive 15 Miles each way to work on nice country roads. I live in North Carolina.

Fell in love with 993 4s before I could afford one and now that I “can” they are sky high in value. I just can’t seem to satisfy the itch with any 996-997 I’ve found and man have I been looking.

Maybe be I need to “settle” and get a car that nearly 3 inches narrower.

Yea! Get a driver and drive the heck out of it as a DD. You will have more fun and not second guess yourself in modifying it how you want it to be.

That looks like a good car at a fair price, all things considered. It's one of the lowest priced MT coupe 993s I have seen and the miles are "just getting started."

Totally get your position and I am in more or less the same boat. While I would love to buy a car and not lose money on it, I am not a collector for the same reasons you stated.

So buy a 60k-80k mile car--which is hard to argue is a collector car--and drive the daylights out of it. I believe the depreciation you would suffer in it is far less than buying the 132k Canadian car. And it's likely to have a longer life. And you more smiles, which of course is the point. Enjoy.

A 97 C2 with 15k miles posted on PCA website for $195K. Wonder if they really meant $95K. Sounds nice but $195K? crazy.

I saw that but no photosand forgive me but I don't remember a 'total' clear bra package available in 1997 we were still tyeing the black bra to the front hood on road trips. $195K not even a Turbo or 4S/S?...SMH...

I "think" the clear bra was available. I looked at a 97 a few months ago that had similar options including a clear bra that was supposed to be original.

Ok let's give him that but no photos c'mon? For that price there should be minimum a link to all the info. This ain't Kansas anymore Dorothy... Oh wait! It is from KS....
For that price will go RUF Turbo 993 all the way. There's one right here with modest mileage.. IF I ever were to sell any of my Air Cooled I would be realistic with a premium, not stratospherically dreamy. A 16K mile Carrera S has been on ebay for a while at $120K so not sure where Mr. PCA got his comparables from but I guess Ink can hold anything...

Happy New Year..!!

That one is in the same boat as the '98 C4 Cab with 67k miles! Being offered at $89.5K on PCA. Really a Cab with that mileage? C'mon...

Holiday Wishes....
