that is a high price for a 4s auto!

Its true, to a collector of cars that uses it daily atm - his words "I can't believe how nice these cars are to drive such a good experience"

Anyone on this forum with a '96 or '97 S4 manual ?

Yes, I have a 1997 C4S Manual,107K's,Ocean Blue Metallic with dark grey leather. I heard all the talk at PCV meetings about 993 S types and started to look late 2013. I saw a Black C2S Tip with late 70's K's for $85K at Lane's? in Richmond, but wanted a manual. There were none about, so I put an ad on the Club Marketplace site in WA, Q'land, NSW and Vic and bugger me about two weeks later I got a call from a guy in Kew.(Vic) and that was in 2014,before they went nuts pricewise. 

I put new Bilsteins on it, a few little dings fixed, aircon fixed and drivers electric seat cable replaced. It's a beautiful car and I like it as much today as the day I drove it home. I've done two return trips to Sydney in it and it's a bloody dream to drive on cruise at 125kph.

Gorgeous Car, Love a 993 Widebody. Pictured downstairs at Duttons

Just a curious observation... the Badging looks a little odd.  A 993 Carrera S normally has the 'S" closely following the Carrera. This looks more like the spacing for the 4S, just missing the '4'...

yep, sellers market. Mate told me Sunday he was thinking of selling his low Km turbo off market due to an incoming car purchase, I offered it to a couple of people, then he tells me the next day it was sold to another friend. It was a superb example and went in the mid to high 3's.

Thanks for the intel

@KERMIT nice story.  Would be great to see it one day if you’re up for a coffee n cars catchup when we get out of lockdown 4.0 !   I passed on a very nice Aust delivered ‘96 black on black 4S for 165k with less than 100k on the clock in 2018 which I should have bought.  Been toying with older models like a ‘88 3.2 Carerra but I keep coming back to the 993.  I’ve driven a number of 993’s now so I know what I want.

Turbo money 

I saw a pristine example almost exactly the same as this one; 96, S4, same colour,manual at PCM in 2019 where they had bought it, spruced it up to as good as it gets and put a sticker of $196k on it.  The asking $$ for this 993 is off the charts bizarre !

interesting to see if it sells for that price.........would be an Oz record price?

Gotta be for a 4S.

If it was a 2S I think the seller might have half a chance at that ask. 

Never know. Crazy times

World record !!   ... it should start with a 2 not a 3.  It’s a fishing line to see if there’s anyone with more money than sense who will bite around such a high anchor point.   I’m all for us P owners making a healthy profit or return on our investment if or when we can get it but this just takes it to another whole level of gaming the market.  Let’s see - will be very interesting to see what it sells for and when.

Huge asking prices and you would think that they won’t be achieved, but who knows.
Its funny I did notice around 9 months ago that the 993 was starting to receive a lot more interest in the US and UK; via YouTube forums and press articles which then was being reflected in rising prices. As always it took awhile to filter through to us in Aus.
