Default Wow....$195K!

Just because they're asking $195K doesn't mean they'll get it...but if they do, it's a testament to the steady increase in Turbo prices.

Enjoy....

It looks like a nice example. However I can't get over all the gray in the interior. I guess I am one for contrast.

It is just an asking price. Seems like a lot of fishing going on with these cars as the market is tough to judge.

Personally I hate this as I had to adjust my insurance value and it increased my yearly outlay by 33%. I just couldn't think of not being able to replace it if something horrific happened to mine.

With some "exposure, contrast & saturation" photo adjustments, they sure made the least popular Arena Red color look good

"Least popular"????? I think it's beautiful. I'd take it over a GR any day. Rather have it over black int. though.

"Kills Bugs" color is least popular? Arena with black is stunning IMO.

I'm thinking the "least popular" comment was made with a tongue firmly planted in a cheek.

I am sure plenty of you love the Arena Red.. I am simply going from what's out there for sale at what price. And the Arena Red 993s are not moving as fast and are usually sold at lesser price. There is Arena Red TT for $85k with 70k on the odometer that has been sitting on the market for months (clean CF, clean title)... If it was silver or black, it would have been gone immediately. Also, according to the German market (not that we care, of course ), the Speed Yellow and Arena Red 993s are least sought after.

Even as the owner of a metallic black on black 993tt (the fastest BTW), I love Arena Red right up there with Ocean Blue, my favourite.

Interesting... Perhaps I should let the 4-5 gents that have contacted me in the past 2 years with serious offers to purchase my car (should I ever decide to sell) know that they would be much better off with silver or black.

Guess I'm stuck with my arena / black turbo.

Long considered Steve's "Rufus" to be the best looking 993 around.... and it's very Arena Red.
