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. Thommo66, Tips, SS 3 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Tips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS 3 Posted 10June, 2021 Report Share Posted 10June, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
