Julio-

I have retrofitted painted hardbacks on my C2S. Previous owner had them made in Germany by the same guy Opo uses for ~$5700 for 2 (no seat heat). They're gorgeous.

OK, will keep it in mind if I need his contact info for future. Right now enjoying the car as is. What a thrill it has been. Previous owner took immaculate care of it and I am probably more OCD on that! Is any of you coming down for the DRT in a couple of weeks?

Don't mean to hijack the thread but here are a couple pics of the seats being made in Germany




If you search I think there's a thread somewhere on these replacement seats.

Man, they look really good. Is it worth it on resale though? I mean did you have to pay that much extra for the car having the hardback sport seats instead of the regular heated sport? Extra $6k?

Thanks,

Jay777

I'll PM you

OK so getting back to the Iris Blue C2 price topic, how much should it actually be priced at on the private market for that mileage. Give it $10k more for the special interior package. $50k?

I'm not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure this is the car Rudy sold in the last year or so that subsequently failed a PPI by an interested buyer who then passed on it. It's here somewhere in the archives.

Caveat emptor and always get a PPI by an independent mechanic with a knowledge of 993s

That or buy it from a fellow RL, stand up person in conjunction with a proper PPI. I guess I lucked out. Most dealers in Miami that I visited had at least a $20k premium on their offered cars with shady history. I'm very happy with all 3 of my recent purchases. Working my way up to a 993TT silver over red would be my preference. That is Unicorn-ly but let's see what happens in 2018!

The painted hardbacks definitely add value. Not $6K. The belts and calipers are a matter of taste. The Rudy factor might even be a negaitve - Why would guy that collects these like baseball cards sell one?
To me it's a 45K car based on the comps and seat upgrade. JMHO.

$45 is the right price if you ask me. I have a lead for a local (Florida) Tip C2S if anyone is interested. No affiliation just coincided at detailing shop for bra/ceramic coating and spoke to the owner who might sell for the right price. He was looking at my 4S and asked about manual trans feeling. Nothing like it!

I believe Rudy is collecting only wide body cars now. Might be wrong though. I personally like the Rudyfied modifications he does. The dealer is asking way over market value. I think a fair ask would be $49,993.
If everything checks out of course.

Mr. slick

He seems to be doing alot more of the Bimmer thing now. He vouched for the condition of the car, I don't see any reason he would have done so if a dealership had it.
