FS: 1997 C2S $29.5K
Putting this on Rlist and Pelican First...hope it goes to a fellow P-Car enthusiast here!
FINAL PRICE UPDATE before she goes into storage 9/17/10: 29,500.00
PRICE UPDATE 9/9/10: $30,993.11
Price: $32,993.11
Mileage: 125K miles (yes, that's 125,000 miles)
All factory, save for the addition of a CD changer in the trunk.
Only option aside from the S body is a factory ordered S-Turbo kit...not sure why anyone would order a $7K option on a car like this without getting an ounce of extra performance, the original PO probably traded up to a nice souped up Honda Civic with a huge birth canal like exhaust system.
THE GOOD: Well sorted, recent $4K major service (belts, hoses, electrical), serviced at Automotive Associates. New Bridgestone Pole Positions all around, new Front brakes and rotors Everything works as it should...well most of the time. Shocks have been changed out with factory parts at some point in the past.
THE BAD: Central locking system sticks on occasion, probably a door lock actuator, hasn't been a big enough PITA to bother with. Original paint, front end has been resprayed sometime in the past. PO put an audio amp in and the sound coming from the speakers sucks but if you're looking for a car with nice sound, check out the system in the 2011 cars coming from Hyundai they'll smoke anything Porsche offers. Have some but not all service records. Original PO had it serviced at Porsche so they're probably available from there, second PO was a DIY guy and I've used Automotive Associates since I've had it. Needs new floor mats, the original ones were pretty well worn so I tossed them.
THE UGLY: Ain't nothin ugly about this car. Well...depending on who you ask...a factory Turbo S kit without a Turbo engine could be considered fairly damn ugly.
The true mark for a decent 993 in my opinion is its driveability cross country and i'd not hesitate to do just that in this one.
Why I'm selling: 993 TT...blame UserA...he got one and now I have to have one.
Independent PPI's welcome...there are some good 993 wrenches in the area: Musantes, Automotive Associates and Hairy Dog Grrage. The car is located in central Connecticut.

2S's had "Big Blacks" = Standard 993 Brakes...which are simply great. Most had 18" Turbo Twists... "Big Reds" were only for All-Wheel-Drive and Wide Body vehicles then... C4S and Turbo. At least on cars offered to the US market. The 17" Cup II's w/aero kit is a rare and unique look I sure like, far rarer to see here then in Europe.
