Seems fair. It is a Porsche. Even the Porsche forum can't help but keep on about how the arse has fallen out of the market. wink

This is true. Very true. I deserve to suffer for having such a car in the first place. hehe

The porsche forum hasn't been a porsche forum for months. It's been simply a collection of threads generally written by people wondering when the bottom of the market will occur, so that they can go and buy a car for cheap. It got dull after the 2nd thread...

I'd have thought £19k was closer to the mark for a 993 these days?

Fairly sure smile Its insured with an agreed value of £65k.

2 years older with more miles. Also, its not one of only 12 factory standard 450bhp X50s in the uk.

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/573102.htm

LHD, less miles, but older... £80k.

The valuation was so bad it actually made me laugh. Just thought, I put on the fact that it has 3-6 months tax. That means the car itself is worth £5! woohoo

And there's an admin fee of £9.99!

webuyanycar.com said:
Based on a purchase price of £95, an adminstration fee of £9.99 inclusive of Value Added Tax would apply. This would be deducted from the final purchase price.
