    I’m over Bring A Trailer too. Waited weeks and weeks to go live with my 991.1 GTS and nobody could give any clear timeline. I had to move before going live and pay $2500 to ship the car. Bastards.

    In September there were clean C2's with similar mile closing for nearly $130k, and most of the 993 that have been selling for less have been higher milage or C4's. Also, it seems odd that SC's in the same condition are bringing similar money to this car. Maybe that's apples to orange, but what do you think the market is saying about 993's?

    Porsche didn't offer 993s with black stone guards - Easy to change the guards and wheels. 993 - OBD2 993 cars will ALWAYS be an issue in CALIFORNIA - Unless you have ave a family member who can do your smog check. If you live in CALIFORNIA buy a 1995 993.

    They did offer stone guards in black but no one optioned their car with them. Everyone choose to either get clear or color match. yes color match was an option too. If you ever decide to change the original guards, be very careful. After thirty or more years they can bond to the paint. Ask JP how he knows. You're right that the secondary air unit on the OBDII cars are a constant problem even after they have been repaired. A repair that costs ten grand BTW.

    I disagree all the boxes were not checked lack of service records and maintenance hurt this car driver condition does not make a market. Proof being a g body car sold for more than this car the very next day, if an aircooled has condition- color- miles- documentation it will still bring all the money

    I truly think so, I believe any generation of air cooled 911 that is a collector grade car real condition #2 or better perfect paint low miles etc. etc. will bring the big money. I think the problem is some people think driver level cars should do the same only a very small percentage of cars are true #2. When they become available they continue to set strong numbers regardless of what generation the car is.
