The arena red 993 looks excellent value if everything stacks up, but you won't really know until viewing & getting decent inspection done.

Wood trim could be swapped out; seller is desperate to sell or something's not right.

Did you realise that link shows your postcode? You might want to edit it (and ask those who've quoted you to do the same).

The car isn't dear (subject to it being all good), but my guess is it would be easier to sell a silver, black or blue one at few grand more...

cheers for heads up

right y'all can you pls delete the linkies and erase all mental trace of my postal code!

Its certainly a low price for a 65k miles car!

Either its the bargain of the century or something else...

Agree...was too slow this time around.

You really can't assess these cars from a description. Some owners think rust bubbles and paint problems on a car that is more than 10 years old is perfectly acceptable and still constitutes excellent condition. If you are looking for a 993 and you spot what looks like a bargain, I suggest you go view it pronto. If it checks out, get a PPI and get your deposit down quick.

As someone else posted, someone got a bargain if it was a good one. However, there are a lot of ropey ones out there.

Here's another low priced 993 although it is a tip, but that's what some want; if anybody out there is after a tip 993, it may be worth a look:

Just noticed on the PH advert that the engine does'nt appear to be a varioram which seems strange for a 97 car.

Good Luck.

Yep, defintely a pre-varioram engine which means that the original engine has probably been replaced with a second hand engine of the wrong type.

What this does to the value is up to you.

Should be quite a bit of room to negotiate on this car if anyone is after it.

So what do you reckon EC paid £16.5K, good valet and some nice photos and its £24K. Nice work if you can get it.

if they did and the bob watson service was done before they acquired it then its a great result for them...as and when it sells that is!
