Okay so its a wide body 993 big deal, with a rare engine, but the V5 will say carrera 4S simple as that.
Serious chancers/jokers

At that money look at what "serious" pork you can buy!!!

errrr.... could be a v nice example but fully agree they have been smoking something when the asking price was decided!

Yeah a nice low mile example £35-42k max.

If you are a 993 enthusiast with dosh surely you would buy a proper one (Turbo or an RS) or save a little more maybe and buy the ultimate "widow maker"

[Kananga]

totally agree...

then again, we'll probably be proved wrong when someone in Asia/Middle East with more money than sense "snaps it up" ?

Fool ready to be parted from money required.......

That is very special in my view, but £125k? Not a fooking chance.

£60k? Maybe.

The 3.8 litre engine was a ten grand upgrade.
A russian guy who bought my savanah trim came over from deutchland to pick it up, along with a siver wb car that had side damage, all repairable. He payed 16k for it.

Well what do you expect from this outfit,in my past post i mentioned i was after buying a SV they have for sale,started at £79k then £85k then price increase to £90k and now it has come down in price to £86k and guess what no takers! On Thursday i got a call offering me the SV, which again i offered £75k at which point they mentioned the Porsche at which point i started laughing!
At £125k the turbo's at Paul Stephens is a bargin!

[Err Indoors]

£125k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



40k tops, its a fkin mass produced C4S for Christ sake big fkin deal with a 3.8 lump in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a load of muppits it has to be a mistake

[alcatraz236]

must be a mistake, £35-40k max

The engine was cheap at £6320.64 + VAT, was it not?

Im not sure, I think its more the mileage thats the main thing. The engine adds value of course and probably more than the initial cost.

But then you could have safely invested 6.3k + VAT in 1995 and easy had 15k+ now.....

..Oh dear....very funny.

[Guyr]

Must be an error, when for much less you can buy an RS engine with a whole RS actually surrounding it.

Why do people not understand that rarity does not alone create value.

[jackal]

misprint

Only a complete and utter mug/looney would buy that over the best RS or the best TurboS the market has ever seen.

I love the way they fervently state the price of the engine, conveniently fogetting that its a drop in the ocean compared to their asking price. Kind of patronising in a way.

Still, they can ask what they like and there's one born every minute, love is blind etc..

Perhaps this is a fake company financed by PS and all the other top price dealers to make their cars look good.

No fake company for sure,i have been up there looking at the SV which was supposed to have been a 6.0 and when i got there it was a 5.7 and there explanation was, the person advertising did not know the facts about the car.
Saying that they have some very very nice cars. (which are overpriced)

I had not seen this thread and posted on the other one. As I said the engine upgrade was very popular in mainland Europe at the time. So these are vry common in the classifieds on the other side of the channel. These people selling this car are really leaving in dreamland.

I think they've gone beyond dream land to be honest, this is probably IMO the most over priced 911 i have ever seen full stop, as mentioned earlier you could buy a proper RS 993 and a C4S for the money advertised, it has to be a mistake, its worth ringing them to ask what they have been smoking?

hmmm looks like Peter Tognola's old car. Nice and a 4s with factory 300bhp engine rare but at £125k just silly. £60k max but personally I'd rather take a 996 C4s with sports exhaust for £25k. Far better car to live with although I'd love to have the 993 parked in my house somewhere a bit like a piece of art - really does look the biz.
