993 sale prices circa 2005?

[911virgin]

anyone know approximately what 993 carreras, targa, cabs , turbo's, CS and 4S were bringing around 2005?

[MR901]

I paid 71k for mine in 2006 & at the time recall looking at a mint Turbo priced at 120k but couldn't afford it....

[911virgin]

what 993 is yours MR 901?

 

[MR901]

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....

Cheers,

Matt

can you remember if targa's were a bit more or a bit less than $60-80K

[Uncle]

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.

16 years later, I paid double for a C2 manual with 130,000 km, 😫

Do you have a time machine? Buy some Apple stock while you're back in 2005... 😂

If it makes you feel better I sold a 911E for $12,750, a 912 for $21,000 & a 76 Carrera for $49,000. 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 !!!

A friend bought a 73 2.7 RS new, tourist delivery from factory. 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?

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.

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!! 😅

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.
