Is that a stock steering wheel for this car?

I’ve wondered the same thing. That car has been on the market for nearly a year. Maybe I missed the story too but I didn’t find anything from a quick glance. This might be the bargain compared to the peach that is on BaT rn.

Hey, with that 4.0 (showing white wheels),... what color rims do you end up with, when you get both Option 347 (Wheels painted in GT Silver Metallic), and Option 430 (19" GT3 Wheel Painted White with Center Lock) ???

Does 430 override 347?

regarding market pricing for our 10 - 13 yr old 997 GT cars,... have you guys been following the 991 GT subforum discussions on pricing for .1's & .2's?? Theres a lot of talk over there on the rising prices over the last 4-5 months. Definitely right about excess cash out there. Wonder what the actual Spring is going to look like...

Hey KDAWG, I can't remember, do you still have your '91 964 Turbo?
yes sir. Can’t shake her, I love that car. Inline with these conversations I was considering putting a large number out there to see, but I know I would hate myself once it was gone.....

I am looking for one. I spoke to Michael before he put it on BT. His number was a bit lower to me. I didn’t want to pay it, probably worth it in today’s market. But too Rich for me.

I sold my '94 Turbo at the peak and never looked back. I missed it for a while, then I purchased a 997.2 GT3RS and that more than filled the void!

They are fun old-school turbo lagging fun cars to drive though. It was a tough decision but my gut told me to let it go.

You'll know when the time is right.

Lance, how would you compare the 993 Turbo to the 997.2 GT3? I’m despairing of finding a 997.2 GT3 with all the options that I want in the right condition, am considering the 993 Turbos as well. Seems like many more 993 Turbo “garage queens” compared to the 997 Gt3’s which makes sense I guess.

'94 is a 3.6L 964, not a 993😉

I really like this car. Great spec and very high MSRP for a 997.1, $138k.
GT silver with yellow accents looks phenomenal.

I've driven both a 3.6l '94 964 Turbo, and compared to my '91 3.3l 964 Turbo ... the driving difference is minimal .... verses comparing a 993 Turbo to a 964 Turbo, in which case the 993 Turbo (which I have also driven) is much more smooth, less of an "event" in my opinion, and less raw. I prefer the 964 Turbo, and will keep mine. Very few of those for sale at any given time. And I actually love retaining both the 997.2 GT3 and 964 Turbo. Having both gives my wife & I pleasure to drive off & on & swap back & forth. They are very different, but both exciting & enjoyable to own.

Ed, Btw, keep in mind that there ARE indeed some Euro 1994 993 Turbos which were produced,.... prior to the US receiving them in 1995

1994 was a very interesting transition year for Porsche

manhattan_trout :: If you yearn for a high rpm screaming NA engine like with the 997 GT3,... then switching your search to a 993 Turbo will not appease your lust. just my .02 opinion.

I'm not really a silver car but this was a nice example. I remember it didn't fly off the shelves at $95k when it was for sale over the summer. I think this is someone testing the market (which they might get)

I know we have buyers with different budgets and different use for their purchase. If you are looking for that one owner, under 10k miles, perfect paint and interior, garage queen, get ready to pay a premium price for this.

The majority of the cars currently available have multiple owners, some miles and possible a few blemishes. These cars are 10-14 years old and most have seen a track, even if the seller denies it. I wouldn’t run away from these kind if cars unless I’m looking for one to keep preserved for the next buyer. Most of these cars are meant to be driven and are not investments. The good thing about cars that are not perfect is that you won’t feel guilty putting some miles on them. The bottom line is that the price should reflect the condition of the car.

In speaking with a high end car dealership owner, he told me that even new cars from the lot may have had a panel retouched after incidents that occurs at the docks. In these cases the factory is not obligated to tell the dealership of the repaint or incident and most dealership won’t find out about it.
I agree with you 100% You would not believe why 3 people passed on my 997.2 GT3 RS before I got to it. I was the 4th interested buyer and locked it up ASAP back in May of 2013.

Buyer 1: Didn't like that it had some wear on the steering wheel alcantara and a slight dimple on a rear bumperette (on a 59k mile example...and I have both flaws on the car to this very day).
Buyer 2: Sat in the car, pushed the clutch and thought it 'felt funny'. I had a thorough PPI done and the clutch was fresh and perfect
Buyer 3: His wife thought it was too much money and he should try to buy a cheaper 997.1 version instead (mine was the lowest priced 997.2 RS on the market at the time).

I have not once regretted buying the car, and I'm going on 8 years of prideful ownership right now.

The 964 Turbo was raw and fun to drive, but you're well aware of how it drives - can't imagine it's much different from your current Turbo. The 997.2 GT3RS I haven't had an opportunity to drive yet due to our crappy weather. So I honestly can't provide you with the driving experience review. However my 997.2 also has plenty of modifications as well, so I'm not sure it would be a fair review.
