I have a used set too, but from a 17K mile 1996 C4S = same shocks as Turbo to my knowledge.
$100 + shipping from 92084.

Not for the superior handling characteristics - selling - yes. For relatively low mileage car they probably do not add much value. I added just after purchase - for me driving they have been great - highly recommend. Will get back today to other posts- appreciate. Tom

The shocks are really hard to come by. Apparently the part is being redesigned for Porsche and not currently available. Since the original part is prone to early failure, I doubt you will be able to find a set of shocks that are in good condition. But if you can wait for the new part to be released, it will do the trick and probably last longer.

What do you think perfect set with under 20K miles would be worth?

From jdoc1949 "Hello, I am looking for some shocks as they are all "mismashed" on my car . 1995 convertable with 85,000 miles. Should I just get shocks or change springs and shocks"

Gotta go with ronnie993tt on this - would not waste time, part or labor $$ on OEM. PSS10s with dropped ride height. Certainly other options but tremendous upgrade!
