^^^ Well, here's my original motivation for asking about this. I got interested this morning again because one came up on eBay in Denver at the Porsche Dealer. I thought it might be the Speed Yellow one I saw for sale at European Collectibles a couple of years ago, but I think that car had more miles. I had a friend email and ask my opinion on value but he's going to pass. Might be a good find for somebody here ...

That seems like a nice car. Wiper delete and no cell phone thingy are also a positive but to a lessor extent than a sun roof delete. It's a tasty car if you are comfortable with yellow. If you live in a ghetto-esque neighborhood lower key colors are best. If I'm not mistaken that price seems really good if there is nothing wrong with it.

I can't recall the rennlister's name at the moment but the red andial car with turboS ducts I recall was sunroof delete...he bought a vette...his name is on the tip of my tongue. he also had just rebuilt the engine before selling.

Its got rear wipers or else a bottom storage cubby would exist.

I would like to think anyone who is considering a 993TT over a 997.1TT today realizes the significance of a sunroof delete option therefore I am betting on more money.

JPP that is the same Speed Yellow car I looked at a few years back ... I was wrong on the model year but I compared the VIN the listing has with VIN I have in emails from the owner at the time....

I would specifically ask for the option code sticker and its contents

Only1Buck

I have maintenance records on it from the owner who had it at the time I looked that cover the period 5/2/98 to 5/12/09 and the mileage went from 7,219 to 28,082 over that period.

Work was done by SunSet in Beaverton OR.

My last correspondence with the person who owned when I looked was 4/03/10....

Only1Buck

Last but not least the option code sticker picture I was provided....

JPP

Wiper is there:



So .. we're looking for 652, right? Is that it 4th over from the left? It's too blurry to read ...

Beautiful SY TT. Pretty rare IMO and well priced!

I think the option sticker reads 454, 680, 688, 708, 939, 982 which are:

Code Option Description
454 Automatic speed control
680 Digital Sound
688 Radio cd CDR210
939 Soft leather rear
982 Supple Leather Seats/Trim

and as I sit and type this I feel like an idiot.... if I was ordering the car and I wanted a sunroof that would be option code 650 because the sunroof was an option but if I didn't want a sunroof which option would I select???? hmmmm if to get a sunroof that is option 650 .... let me go look at my car's sticker

Only1Buck

My option code sticker


Code Option Description
09991 manufacture from the exclusive-programme
139 Seat Heating - Left
340 Seat heating - Right
373 Left Sport Seat w/ Power Height Adjuster
374 Right Sport Seat w/ Power Height Adjuster
454 Automatic speed control
520 Controle d'habitacle (Alarm)
688 Radio cd CDR210
XE3 993: Dimming Rear-View Mirror

My point being there is no option code for sunroof delete because to have a sunroof you have to option the car that way ... am I missing something here?

As far as factory sunroof delete, some numbers from the new Turbo book (worldwide numbers, not just US) - counts include all variants and GT models.

1996 - Total worldwide 993 Turbos (inc X50 package, GT2, GTR2 ) = 3931 units
1996 - Total worldwide 993 Turbo with sunroof = 3163
1996 - Total worldwide 993 Turbos with sportseats = 1126

Percentage of Turbos in 1996 with Sunroofs = 80%
Percentage of Turbos in 1996 with Sport Seats = 29%

1997 - Total worldwide 993 Turbos (inc X50 package, S, GT2) = 2052 units
1997 - Total worldwide 993 Turbo with sunroof = 1796
1997 - Total worldwide 993 Turbos with sportseats = 574

Percentage of Turbos in 1997 with Sunroofs = 88%
Percentage of Turbos in 1997 with Sport Seats = 28%

Cheers,

His car unforunately was crashed by the new owner, there was a thread on it also awhile back, a shame.
