Found a 993 TT nearby. Arenared. Ruf engine conversion. 112000 km on tacho. Question is : How much more is car worth for the « engine » mods ? Please give estimate in % aswell what you guess in $$.

It is important to know how many Km have passed since that conversion was done. There is also a possible premium for other Ruf mods... body, suspension wheels, brakes, interior, etc. Typically, the Ruf modifications add value to a car, as much as 50% of the COST of the mods, but greatly dependent on when the engine was converted. I can't speak for the price of a 112,000Km 993TT in Sweden, but in the US, that car in stock, nice form should bring about $65,000. With a fairly recent Ruf Turbo R engine (engine only), I would expect the car to bring about $80,000 to $85,000. If there are other Ruf mods, add about 50% of the cost of those mods.

Of course, I'm just guessing, since so few of these cars come to market.

I'm not sure of the answer but one of the factors will be when the conversion was done. If recent (not too many miles ago) that would enhance the value.

These days? $150,000 ask.

Hi,

I bought mine with the RUF conversion done 3,000 miles / 6.5 years before I purchased it and I paid (i) price for a similar stock TT in the US, PLUS (ii) about 50% of the total cost of the mods made at the time (Seller had started off adding 100% of the cost of the mods).

Ultimately, I was lucky to have two data points of sales less than 1 year old in the US / Canada and that helped me a great deal to negotiate the price down to what I thought was reasonable.

Hope this helps - Pm me if you want more info re actual purchase price etc ...
Oh, one last piece of advice: if the car checks out ... BUY IT! :-)

Good luck ...
