Anyone seen this car?

I know the Turbo S is rare, but are people really paying $136K for these cars?

Yes, collectors, do a search in the 993 NA forum and you'll see.

 

There' one advetized in autoweek in the 80's. Higher mileage though.

found another one on cars.com for $102K

 

Does one not find it surprising that a 993TT-S is being advertised on craigslist?

 

I don't know about that Craigs list car, but the autoweek car is 89.5 w 60k miles, and the cars.com car is a potential odometer rollback car in an off color combo (not a clear carfax to my knowledge). If the autoweek car is the one that Park Place had a year or two ago that was the same color and same miles, it had other issues that would explain a low price (like it needed new turbos, etc.).

There are a couple of legit places to get a TTS (aside from buying directly from a collector). All 5 of the legit TTSs for sale in the country right now are listed by Richard Sloan (that I know of). This craigs list car might be legit, and, if so, is fairly priced. Check out

In Germany a 993 Turbo S with more than 50,000 miles recently sold for $170K. With half of that miles or less you'll have to pay $210K at a max. But Europe-wide there are only very few available (usually 1-3)

So - sloan actually is a shopping paradise

When I was looking for my car, I specifically wanted an S. However, here in the UK, to say Ss are a bit thin-on-the-ground would be putting it mildly. I know of one that came on the market about a year ago (11,000 miles, silver) and sold for upwards of $175K. Other than that, they come up very infrequently, and very expensive...

I had to settle, and truth-be-told, I'm not unhappy I did (I'd be killing myself over adding even 1mile to a real S)...

So two find it surprising. It's just that car collectors (the main purchasers of low-mile Ss) tend not to be the "young, hip, urban" crowd that craigslist seems to cater to.

 

Same at autotrader.com

Speak for yourself!!!!

 

I should've said "most people would not think car collectors would be in that crowd." While there may be collectors who frequent sites such as Craigslist, I would personally consider outlets where those who appreciate what a Turbo S is would be more likely to find it.

 

One more S just listed that makes Sloan look reasonably priced:

Is that the same one listed on the classfieds yeasterday??
