Default 1996 Zenith Blue 993tt

Why has this car been on the market so long, is it because of the price, color or is there something more to the story?

I say, color, economy and price. In that order. Ray has a good rep. Interior color is more an issue than the exterior, IMO. At a price, it will sell. I never get the impression Ray is ever in any hurry. I've seen him hold 993 Turbos for well over 12 months.

Are you two talking about the same car? I thought the turbo at Ray's (RPM) was Horizon blue. What Zenith Blue TT are you talking about, clubrcr ? The one in the classified with the grey interior for around $70k?

I made what I thought was a generous offer on the Horizon car. Ray seems not to be in a hurry.

No, I was talking about the one in the Rennlist classifieds. It has been sale for quite a while.

Jim, this one:

Sounds like a great color combo. Zenith is a great color. Heated Sport Seats too. Yes, this car has been for sale for well over a year. If I remember correctly, the orginal price was about $85K. Now Alex is down below $70K.

I am in the market for a 993TT. Although the color is rare, IMO, I don't think it is desirable. I would prefer the dark blue, red, speed yellow/fly yellow or even a rare gray exterior. Also, at $70K, it is on the high side. I am looking in the $58-$62K.

Obviousley, color is a very personal choice. But, I think Zenith Blue is a great, and fun, color.

I think if you had cash-in-hand, and could close a dealer quickly, and drama free for a seller, you could get an advertised $70K car for your price range stated above. Good luck with your search. The journey is very fun!

whatever happened to the Amaranth Violet that Alex Wald had listed? I emailed him to ask if it was available but he did not respond. It also had a grey interior with sport seats with about 27,000 miles on it

The Zenith Blue TT with 27k miles is still listed on the Pelican - is this the one you were referring to?

Nice. I would love to have the $$ for that one. I am partial to "Different" colors. Kinda makes it even more exclusive
