As I mentioned earlier, your unsolicited thought is welcome. IF.... BiG IF, I sell, trust me it will not be to a dealer. And it is both or nothing...… KOW, do not need to sell, just understand that our time with these cars is ephemeral….. and interests wander off.

But in the interest of maximizing sale price and clientale, and given most non-dealer buyers in the market are looking for 1 but not 2 p-cars (there're only so many Rudys out there...), would you not be hurting your own bottom line by insisting of selling them as a pair?

@Mdude: Simple answer is no. When I joined RL my signature line was empty. Buyers like me may be in the oddity but they are out there. So I respect the singular position of 1 vs the two, it does not mean that anyone needs to abide by it. This would be akin to dating that hot lady that also happens to be a single mom. It is a package deal.

Much as I would love for that to be the case, I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from one data point. But we can hope.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a 65k+ mile narrow body grab anything close to $60K, this yellow one probably will surpass that. I guess that is pretty healthy for a single marker transaction. I’m loving it. Let’s keep being optimistic.

Buy the seller not the car...
Don’t think a ‘regular folk’ on BAT would’ve achieved that sale price for that car, despite the ‘95 OBDI and Speed Yellow color rarity.
US 993 owners should be happy to see this. I know I am.

Reach out and get to know him. He seems like a great guy and very knowledgable on how to sell these cars. He's an enthusiast and a great marketer--wouldn't be the first person with those traits to make money.
When I was a kid, I had a skateboard business. I used to buy new boards all the time, use them a few weeks or more and sell them for more than I paid for them. It's called a business. If I had been called a skateboard flipper, so be it. (I was a skateboard flipper--I did kickflips all the time!)

New to this 993 thread. Have 97' 2S Coupe, low miles (less than 50K), 6-spd manual. Lost file with specifics but have the clean title. Don't need to sell it, even in this environment, but my wife has been patience with our order on a 992 which is on a ship in the open water as we speak. I'm looking forward to the comparison between the 992S against the 991.2 GTS that I sold last year. From the posts I have seen here it sounds like a close match, except maybe more comfort in the 992 (please no rattles).
Getting back to the 993, it is about a 8 out of 10 on both interior and exterior. It will not easily be made into concourse condition, but neither is it 'diamond in the rough'. Middle of the road $50K? (I know the market used to higher).
