@u7t2p7 Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
1st off, ultimately your cars, your decision. I respect that.
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.

Looks like the 993 market is alive and well on BAT

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.

The salvaged car sold for $40k. I see a few more on the money as well. As of late, looks ok.

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.

Seller is local to me, I see him always listing P cars. Looks like he flips them, dont know if he puts any money or not to them.

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!)

Thanks buddy. , i figured this would be discussed here, that was a fun auction, and it went to a great buyer FYI, he already has a Speed Yellow GT4 and loves these cars.

I don't "Flip" anything i buy cars that i personally like, maybe 1-3 max a month, i spend a lot of money & time sorting them out, cosmetically & mechanically whatever they need, i drive the heck out of them and put them through their paces, then i make very detailed transparent ads and list the cars for sale (i have a dealers license) If you're local, there are a few enthusiasts that live here in Belmont Shore, Long Beach.​​​​​ Turning your passion into your daily work is a lot of fun! ..

^^^More power to you, sir! A "passion" makes for the start of a great business model ...then comes the hard work!

Honest entrepreneurship must always be applauded, if not admired. Well done!

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).
