    First, I have to say I'm a fan of any 993 so I'm biased. Don't know this car, but obviously well cared for and looks to be in great condition. With that kind of care, mileage wouldn't bother me at all and seems very very fairly priced given how rare it is.

    I hear you there, brother! 993's are one of my all time favorites...likely my favorite all-around car, really.

    Thanks for the input. I was thinking the price may be a little on the high side, but then again, the condition and maintenance of the car is waaaay secondary to mileage, IMO. Plus, I guess I'm a little skewed by the fact that I bought my coupe for $30k...of course that was two years ago. At any rate, my Dad is interested in this one. Finding a car for him has been a loooong operation; hopefully, he will finally find one he wants to buy!!

    Couldn't agree with you more! Just took delivery of my second turbo and I can't think of another car I'd rather have!!

    I watch this market pretty closely and as you know it's been going nuts. Totally agree about mileage on this one being not as important and again, given that and the rarity, I think it's a decent price. Tell your dad to go for it!

    Bummer! Don't give up.

    Thanks. It's a 97 in Glacier White.

    Believe me, it's a dream come true of mine! Will post some pics shortly.

    These cars are a serious addiction and I love it. I actually have 2 Turbo S' To this day the cars continue to impress me and they are 20 years old! Of course there are many cars on the market that are faster, more technology, etc. But this car is the absolute perfect blend of power to weight, technology and of course classic Porsche feel.

    Couldn't agree more. While I have only a lowly C2, I think about that all the time! Just a freakin' perfect car!! :)

    Two Turbo S's?? Seriously? My hero!

    Like I said, I have an addiction. They were cars I listed after when I was 16. I even dragged my dad to the dealership to buy a 993 tt over the 500sl Mercedes. #richpeopleproblems. So as soon as I could afford one, I bought it (they were a lot more affordable), and the second one was a fluke. One to drive and 1 to look at. Actually, they both get driven

    There actually is a white one "for sale" right now but I'm not a buyer at that asking price. Guess the yellow one will have to do for now.
