Yah prices are silly right now on all 993s... there was a nice narrow body black one advertised on Kijiji but again, he's asking $90k... i think you'll be playing the waiting game for a while...

I know someone who wants to sell his targa? Any interest?

 

See the one at Porsche London on consignment. $$$$

 

Yes of course, criteria in first post but always open to hearing what's out there within the close realm of what I posted. PM me details.

 

The London C2 was purchased by a Pfaff employee from a fellow that I know at least 6 or 8 years ago for about $60k if I recall correctly. It was immediately offered ‘on Consignment’ at Pfaff Woodbridge for $89k. It has been advertised pretty much every year since, but this is the first time offered at London.

 

Wow... but I guess unable to sell it because of what they expect to get. I like the wording in the listing about the owner is offering it for. Price seems out there a bit though it does seem like a clean car. NB though.

 

‘They are nuts at $149,000. That car is $65-$70k in the States...making it $95k-$100k tops Cdn landed prior to HST.

 

Yeah not sure why they bother. I think it references being a customer car, so maybe some obligation to keep them happy. To me loose a little credibility for being so far off. I was curious to inquire about their thoughts on price just to see what they say.

 

I’d bet money it is the same employee who bought it from the guy I know. They are just fishing...you never know when you might get a bite! Lots of FOMO in the collector car world right now.

 

Pfaff Reserve has sold a few 993 over last couple of years.

I think the silly prices are hear to stay. There were not that many of these cars made in the first place, and at close to 25 years old the number of good examples left are far and few between.

I looked at a lot of 993s in the search for mine. Many of those cars were in rough shape in and out.... not looking anything like the cars we all share pics of on the rennlist forum. I specifically did not want a 95, but ended up with one because of its good condition. My two year search had educated me on the market and I knew finding another car in nice condition with low miles would be difficult.

The cars that *are* in good condition in and out have been cared for and sorted, and sorting out these cars is not cheap. Guys with good, sorted examples know what they have (because they are enthusiasts) and are not in a hurry to lose money on a sale. Low mileage cars even more so.

Porsche does not have plans to bring the 993 back into production. I don’t see hundreds of these cars being shipped over from Europe or anywhere else in the world. Interest in these cars does not seem to be going away.

My thought is anyone who really wants one should consider buying it sooner rather than later.

 

Just to update the thread...

Thanks for everybody's input and help, I bought a car earlier in Feb and and it arrives today!!!
