Thanks Brendan for the kind words. That photo of the RS brothers brings back great memories. I am very happy to have sold it to you as we've kept in touch and I know how much your are loving it....and what's not to love?

This is a "I need to learn from my mistakes thread for me"...

I bought an identical arctic silver/black 98 C2S in similar museum quality with ultra low mileage in 2004 for $55k. I sold it a few years later with still low miles for about $65k. Fast forward almost a decade and commanding 3-4x that? Whoa. Not questioning pricing. Just kicking myself for ever selling!

Beautiful example. Everyone goes frenzy over the sport seats, I actually prefer the way the standard seats feel in this car. They are lower to the floorboard, lighter, simpler/subtle and very comfortable.

Good luck with sale. That's a beautiful one and it looks perfect.

Thanks Nizer! Hope you have a nice Holiday. See you at Sebring in Feb?

All PM's last 3 days responded. Sorry for late replies. Been traveling.

Nizer

And congrats on another GTC5 Championship.

how is the car still not sold? are you all kidding me?

@daedton: Red Belts and Carbon aluminum handbrake/shifter are aftermarket, right?

Didn't realize 993's had gotten into that price range, even perfect low mileage cars...Turbo's yes but non turbo's as well?

Are 993's still appreciating as we speak? Seems like the collector car market has leveled off the last 6 months or so, is that not applying to air cooled Porsche's, 993's in particular?

GLWS!

Sellers would like to think so. The market doesn't appear to agree.

Anonymous918,
The handbrake and shifter are factory items.

Nizer,
Thanks. Appreciate it! Got to meet in person some time!

daedton

Red belts factory too.

Being that this is a 98 (last year), an 'S', super low mileage, and near perfect condition - Yes a non turbo can hit turbo range.

I know 993 Turbos are like the holy grail right now but personally, I would take this 993 over its turbo counterpart. I just love the way the 993 S looks and sounds!

Beautiful C2S, I'm sure you will find a willing buyer at a price that will make everyone very happy. GLWS.

I know the topic of the shifter, brake handle and seat belts already came up and the items in the car are OEM products but judging from the window sticker they did not come with the car as it was originally manufactured. Same goes for the wheels since the C2S came with 17" Cup II wheels.

Am I missing something here with respect to the window sticker matching the factory options?

mooty

had 993TT, in stock form, i would take C2S (which i also had).
and in this car, i take this one simple based on who the seller is.

Many familiar with the 993 era will remember this that Porsche had a Tequipment Brochure featuring lots of cool factory parts for these cars. I think I still have it. This shifter/handbrake are NLA (no longer available) and were ridiculously priced back in the day. I think they were a $1000/piece! It's not painted sliver it's real aluminum/carbon. Anyway, when I bought the car in 2003 I had a feeling that there were several factory items that would be very hard to get/expensive ummmmm, like about 13 years on. So I bought these along with the Sport Seats and the red belts. When I bought the car it had 7k miles on it. I replaced the original shifter/handbrake and black belts with these items. As Mooty says, it's SIMPLE. In any case I have all the original items as new in a box. They'll go with a sale if one happens. I'm totally fine keeping this car. I'm not entertaining any low offers. But enjoy chatting with all the rennlisters. I fully get about the asking price....debate on value etc....It is pretty SIMPLE in the end. This is the one you want or there are others with different options/color combo's/miles/# of owners out there to buy. Like many looking at this, I have a collection too. You can see it below. Happy to just have this piece of art in the workshop if it doesn't work out since I can go on the track with the 993 Cup where it lives and feeds on asphalt Nothing EVER going to be bad about holding onto a wide bodied, last year air cooled made time capsule. Happy, Happy Holidays All!
