Default Looking for 993 Turbo any color

Been searching for a 96 or 97 993 turbo. Found one that said private seller, but he ended up having a dealer's license, so that doesn't work. I live in AZ, so no sales tax if I buy from a private seller, so that is my preference. Anyway, looking for a nice original copy with less than 60k miles (prefer 20-40k). Want sport seats and no wood paneling inside. Like most colors (don't prefer black, but would take it if it was the best option). Any ideas out there? One of the hardest things is trying to figure out what these things really sell for. Prices for very similar cars range from $125-225k. Are these guys asking $175-225 really going to get those prices? Or are they waiting for the idiot?

Thanks in advance.

Prices in your desired mileage range can vary greatly so $150 - $200 are possible for a lower miles car

Looks like I'm narrowing down to a car. Have a price negotiated, just got to send him a deposit tomorrow and then fly out in the next week or so and finalize a deal (once I've seen it and drove it of course). 96 993 TT.

Intercity's bid was $1795 from Dallas to Phoenix. Does that seem about right? Haven't contacted Reliable yet. Definitely going enclosed. Car is Red/Black interior. I found it first advertised on Hemmings.

Maybe consider flying to Dallas and road tripping it home!

Get a quote from Angles Trans. Make sure the new car is also insured on your policies.

If it was a 300-500 mile drive on nice windy roads with pretty scenery, that would be a nice idea. But have you seen I-10 between Dallas and Phoenix?! No thanks. Much easier to fly. I'll probably regret it later though when it takes a month to get a shipper there. Reliable's bid was $1356.

Going to put my Polar Silver over Black up soon if your deal falls through.

Well, looks like I'm an owner! Wired the cash this morning. Then called Innercity to pick it up and they had a truck in Dallas and they are picking it up today! Definitely excited. This is the one I bought. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds...3/2118054.html
