Russ Posted 9September, 2014 Report Share Posted 9September, 2014 what's special for this particular model? did you not read PF lol - it's basically a Carrera RS with impact bumpers! (engine is the MFI 2.7 with the 7R) thin gauge steel, thin glass, bigger brakes, different suspension. There are a few on here too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonoz Posted 9September, 2014 Report Share Posted 9September, 2014 My mates happy. He paid less than half that, so in theory he is more than $100k ahead. Better than Poseidon shares the old Porsche caper is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 9September, 2014 Report Share Posted 9September, 2014 In retrospect it was obvious they were a sleeping bargain. Essentially they didn't have the RS name and they had impact bumpers. Seems like a good car to own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonoz Posted 14September, 2014 Report Share Posted 14September, 2014 JZM now two 993 RS's for sale, the black UK RSCS for £339,900, and a blue UK RS Touring for £249,000. The white Japan delivered LHD 993 RSCS passed in at auction last week at £215,000, so I wonder how the market is looking? If JZM are right with their pricing, then 993 RS's are worth a lot more now than even the most recent sales have indicated. Just how long can this madness continue, and who the heck is buying these cars? UAE, China, Russia? Where do they go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JV911 Posted 14September, 2014 Report Share Posted 14September, 2014 Just curious; what did an 993 RSCS cost new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonoz Posted 14September, 2014 Report Share Posted 14September, 2014 $219,900 for a RSCS, and $209,000 for a RS Touring according to Red Book. A manual S was $192,900, and a manual Carrera was $181,900. Best one was the the Turbo at $299,900. Guess which one was the one to buy if you look at todays values?

JV911 Posted 15September, 2014 Report Share Posted 15September, 2014 RSCS or RS given the others are trading at ~half their original list price C2S - $90k ish Turbo $150k ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 15September, 2014 Report Share Posted 15September, 2014 who the heck is buying these cars? UAE, China, Russia? Where do they go? People with lots of money, into dry storage next to the wine collection. When the US printed a few trillion dollars to fight off deflation, some of it was always going to end in hard assets. Central banks are like teenagers driving Gt2s on an oily skid pan where the steering column has been replaced by a rubber band. Prone to inaccurate inputs, massive over corrections and messy crashes.

Simonoz Posted 15September, 2014 Report Share Posted 15September, 2014 Ah, so they do go to Margaret River after all! :-) My wife is finding this thread very amusing. Could just be the lovely Robert Oatley Great Southern Riesling she threw down though.... People with lots of money, into dry storage next to the wine collection.

Simonoz Posted 19September, 2014 Report Share Posted 19September, 2014 Hexagon. Theres a thread on Pistonheads where they discuss the Hexagon strategy. It seems to be that Hexagon buy all the Turbos around, price them all very highly, and wait for them to sell. Lately there has been chatter on the UK forums about the market having topped out. Hexagon have auctioned two Turbos that failed to sell by the look of it, so the chatter might be right. Having driven two Turbo S 993's, I cant see the S premium charged as being worthwhile. I dont like the tails, the yellow calipers, or the front bumper as much as the standard Turbo pieces, and my standard Turbo felt just as quick, so for me, they hold no interest at all. In the US they sell for enormous money, so what would I know? I wouldnt mind those side vents though, and if my Turbo ever got damaged, could put them on without remorse.

clutch-monkey Posted 19September, 2014 Report Share Posted 19September, 2014 what do the side vents do? i know on later cars they feed the intercoolers but afaik 993 items are still placed under the tail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonoz Posted 19September, 2014 Report Share Posted 19September, 2014 what do the side vents do? i know on later cars they feed the intercoolers but afaik 993 items are still placed under the tail The vents don't do anything. They are not ducted to the brakes or the intercooler. They are purely for aesthetics. Rare for Porsche to waste energy on something like this, pretty as they are.
