Just in case people are wondering if anyone is still buying anything in this Covid adjusted world, the answer is 'yes'. Plus I feel the 993 was attractively priced, and was a very good car which puled out some good prospects including:
  • Three offers involving 996s. Two were turbos, one a C4s. They were all black or silver, nothing wrong with that at all, other than not my particular preference.
  • Two offers involving 997s. One was a red C4S, very nice, super low miles, priced accordingly (though irreplaceable at miles and options) and the other a somewhat base model black car.
  • One offer involving a 997GT3 car. Above.
  • One offer for a 991 GT3. It was just too new and too costly for me. I was looking at even swap or trade plus cash my way.
  • One offer of a 997twin turbo. It was a 2010 (a .2 mode of course) with the first year offered PDK, 18-way sport seats, sport chrono, natural gray leather in, Atlas Gray (actually more blue) outside. Zero paintwork, clean carfax, crazy detailed service history, fresh plugs/coil packs.
  • Two cash offers as mentioned (though only based on my description of car; neither went to PPI stage because of car above was in process.)
  • Plus two absurdly low offers and a couple PMs half implying I needed to sell the car to eat so they'd do me a favor and 'might' be interested if I acted right. Ok.
You can probably tell which one I chose based on detail above! So yes, about to be a 997tt owner ! It'll be my first (though I had two 997GTS prior. and other elder gen turbos in the past.) The car also has center muffler delete, Turbo II wheels (my favorite of modern era), and some goodies/accessories with the car. Should be here this weekend.

Why did I trade instead of cash out? Well, my garage would have an empty space and that's just wrong. Plus, the tax liability of outright sale and outright purchase means I get to pay sales tax on the entire 'new' purchase, whereas a trade is only on the difference between the two. In this case: minimal. So that was a bonus and possibly worth considering for those of you in a situation where this'd be attractive. Just a thought.

So, hoping the above helps you set the market for buying or selling, for whatever purpose it may serve.
Sounds like a win/win. One of the great benefits of being part of the RennList community.

Best of luck to you and enjoy the turbo in good health - and, don’t forget to post some pics!

Congrats on your transition! As a 997tt owner and former 993 owner, you’ll enjoyed the “modern” features and feel of the car, not to mention its tremendous acceleration. You’re fortunate that your state only requires sales tax on the price difference. My former domicile state of CA would require paying the full value of the 997 to register it. Enjoy!
