Would you trade you 996 for a C4S 993 ?

I agree with the above. The 996 are better cars to drive and are faster. If you are looking for a show piece or an investment there is more potential with the 993.

Again, it depends on what you are trying to accomplish with the purchase. Both are great cars. It just depends on what you want out of it.

My bro in law had a 993 c4s. Beauty of a car, but noisy, rougher riding, rattling, old feeling compared to a 996. Depends on what you like I guess. Classic air cooled or modern and faster.
I have chosen!

I have had both. the 993 is smaller and tighter - you wear it, not drive it.
however, once the secondary air system clogs up, you will appreciate the 996.
if you get a 996, make sure it has an updated IMS bearing (LN engineering) it will give you peace of mind when you drive.
just my $.02

You want an investment 911, you can do better than the 993 as well, look for old 912's etc. 996TT for fun and value holding and drive and forget good times.

Make sure you spend some time behind the wheel of a 993 before you choose one. The (lack of) ergonomics can be annoying. They made compromises to the driving/seating positions that are surprising for a "driver's car."
