MR901 Posted 24February, 2021 Report Share Posted 24February, 2021 I paid 71k for mine in 2006 & at the time recall looking at a mint Turbo priced at 120k but couldn't afford it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911virgin Posted 24February, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 24February, 2021 what 993 is yours MR 901? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR901 Posted 24February, 2021 Report Share Posted 24February, 2021 It's a 1994 C2 manual & had approx 140km when I bought it....that was high KM at the time but it was a locally delivered car, great colour (special order metallic black on black) & had full service history. I looked for about 12 months to find it & at the time felt the price was about right (market was 60-80 pending condition & configuration). Hope that helps....

911virgin Posted 24February, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 24February, 2021 can you remember if targa's were a bit more or a bit less than $60-80K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 24February, 2021 Report Share Posted 24February, 2021 ADM cars mid 70's. UK/Singo cars 15 to 20 under that. IIRC Targa's quite a bit less due to the very complex roof mech and some parts NLA I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also turned down a mint 3.0 Turbo for $45,000 & an Australian delivered 73 2.7 RS for $280,000 because I thought it was a stupid amount of money & no Porsche would ever be worth that 😳 I think we all have lots of these stories....ha ha....love, money & cars never run on time !!! wegentop, JWM and cafe_racer 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pampered and, even then, he was "going to keep it forever". He had a lot of fun out of it, but I heard he sold it about a decade later for $100K, which was big money in those days. I suppose if he put it all into the Melbourne property market he would probably still be in front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npvpositive Posted 28February, 2021 Report Share Posted 28February, 2021 And let's not forget when the 964 was so unpopular you could barely give them away. I remember a Porsche dealer telling me they didn't want to take a 964 Turbo as a trade-in because they were too hard to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamr Posted 28February, 2021 Report Share Posted 28February, 2021 1 hour ago, JWM said: What was the reason they were so unloved back then? The same reason that the 996 was so hated .. it was a change from the “traditional” 911 ... Different body, suspension and it wasn’t an impact bumper 911. When the 996 was released, everyone realised that the 964 was a far closer relation to the G series than these monstrosities, so we’ll hate them instead .. Now look whose laughing ... both 964 and 996 owners!! 😅 luzzo and JWM 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asn993 Posted 10March, 2021 Report Share Posted 10March, 2021 I paid $105k (asking 110) for a 94 993 in 2004 from a luxury dealer. Standard spec, manual, silver with blue trim and 50,000 kms. I sold it for $80k to the local Porsche Centre 2 years later. Lost my job and as it was a business use vehicle I needed to exit quickly so did not advertise. By memory they advertised it in the 90's.
