I read an article in a car magazine from a few years ago (2006) about buying a 993. In the article they said what You should expect to pay for a 993 and added "but less if it's white".
Aren't white 993s super cool?! Are white 993s more attractive now than 10-15 years ago? I remember rejecting white 993s when I bought my first 993 but now I find them super cool!

Now it's one of my favourite colours for 993s! Is it just me or have You and the market also changed Your mind about white 993s?

I wouldn't put to much stock in an 11 year old article relating to 993's. The "market" has changed in so many ways. It's MUCH more about condition and provenance today than anything else.

I think it's totally dependant on the buyer. I would never buy a white car, but some people go nuts for them.

White wasn't my first choice for a 993, but it's grown on me. I wasn't exactly spoiled for choice back when I was looking...

White is an excellent choice. Maybe I am a bit biased.

Don't understand the reasoning behind this post. Honestly. It's like asking the question why not to use a certain position during sexual intercourse...

All a matter of personal preference and taste!

I would actually prefer a white 993 over my arena red...but color choice wasn't a luxury when I was looking to buy.

I wanted a white one 9 years ago but the red one had everything I wanted on it already.

White was low on my list when I was searching for the perfect (for me) 993 in 2009-10. In the end I found the right car (mileage, condition, provenance, options etc) and it just happened to be white. With the right accent choices like black wheels and exhaust tips I think the car looks very contemporary now. No regrets.

i've owned this one since 2005 and FWIW specifically sought out a white on black example. Zero regrets.

Really? Like this is the first personal preference choice question ever posted on rennlist?

I was looking for a white 993 when I bought my car.

It's common knowledge that the white cars got the strongest engines during manufacturing.
Other colors got less than optimal power plants...

So then we repeat and explain!
Are white 993s more popular now than say ten years ago? Are people paying more money now than they where prepared to a few years ago for white cars if compared to other colours? There are trends you know!

Like dark brown metallic, huge in the 70s and early 80s, then gone for decades and now popular again!

Interesting discussion - I would actually prefer a white 993 if given the option; but that's just me!

Yes white is rare on 993's . Every third car is silver or black. Just like the 3.2's in the 80's where every third (or second) car was Guards Red.
White looks good on a 993....not so much on an 80's 3.2 or on a 964. These are opinions, of course.
