If they get the asking price, perhaps the dealership can afford to get their premises repainted?

Haha! I was told when selling my Aventura tip, no one wanted it.
Personally, I think it's one of the best 993 colours.

As for this car, not even a mention of any suspension work?
The bushes & top mounts will be well hard and crusty

Purely testing the market surely?

If it was a manual they'd have a chance at that price….

I fear if it was a manual it would be +50%.

That's high mileage and a damn high price. smile

I was at Hedingham in 2013 and as I parked a guy pulled up in a (I think) 8K mileage 993 tip. It had spent most of the previous 16 years or so sat in a garage in central London. It was its first trip out in years.

That was a one owner also, but for the life of me I can't remember the colour.

Like your manual 993? wink

Keep talking those prices up. A manual 25k mile 993 C2 isn't a £80k car, let alone a £120k car!

As for this tip in possibly the 2nd most undesirable colour (turquoise is worse) they've having a laugh.

Yes, but I take no pleasure in talking up prices. It doesnt help me. It is was it is.

I find that hard to believe but, as a 964 C2 and 911T owner, I hope you are a right smile

nothing wrong with Aventura Green in my humble opinion - mine is a manual - 110k miles, big history file, all the usual 993 bugs recently attended too, drives perfectly - value ?, certainly not what some chancers are asking !

Looks lovely. I like Aventura.
I'm genuinely unsure of current values for these now. I don't see me ever selling mine so makes no real difference to me however I'd hazard a guess at somewhere between 35 to 45k for a mint C2 manual with 110K miles.....?

agree, sounds like a plausible spread for a car with some cosmetic patina as befits a 20 year old car - I wouldn't sell though, the car has a greater value than that in terms of ownership enjoyment and as a drive.

Picking up a Avanturine/Aventura (?) C2 this weekend - so wishing the week away!!!

Needs a tidy-up cosmetically - but seeing what it can look like makes me excited for the challenge ahead.

Looking at this pic I believe its got the wrong paint protectors in front of the rear arches. I guess they could have been changed over the years for better protection though.

Well spotted. Owner too mean to pay for two bonnet struts... wonder what else he hasn't bothered with over the past 20 years?

Aventura is the european name for the colour. For some reason it was called Aventurine for the american market.

'Go figure', as they might say.
