Well priced 993 turbo

[Phooey]

This seems stonking vfm. Nice colour for the 993 too. I reckon it'll be snapped up fairly quick!

If it checks out, it certainly is good value.

I dont like Ocean personally, but many do.

Now that's a nice car and better value than that 964 turbo 3.6

I think this is great VFM turbo depending on what it's had and what it needs

Both look good value.

Can be expensive to run though(i've sunk over 30K into mine in last two years including a 15K engine rebuild).
They're starting to get old and everything needs refreshed to keep them driving well.

Which is why I said "depending on what it's had and what it needs"............ if it needs an engine rebuild then adding £15-20K to the asking price makes it poor VFM, imo.

True, I keep telling myself that nearly everything is brand new and as the car is a keeper it will even itself out in ten years (maybe less).
I'd cry myself to sleep every night otherwise!

when above £40K these cars are difficult to sell privately (as any other car) in the current financial climate.

The high mileage (139000) one was featured in one of the magazines recently. The article stated that a leakdown test had shown that a top-end rebuild would be needed before too long....

There goes another few grand off the asking price then!

I don't think they would be any more difficult to sell than at a garage tbh. A young modern car i would agree - possibly because so many are financed nowadays, but something like this would normally (i assume) be bought without finance, used as a 2nd/3rd car, by a person who has a high(ish) knowledge of the brand and model, and also wants/hopes to cash-in on the rising values and avoid any dealer profits.

£7k is nothing to spend on these cars. Pretty sure that just bought a new exhaust system and a couple of other small "touch up" items.

Nothing was done engine wise. Would want to set aside a good £10 - £10k for a top end at some stage, new turbo chargers etc etc etc.. could easily sink £20k into it.

Would think the one with 70k on the clock was a better one to go for, although its been for sale for a few months now.

Can someone tell the seller that the interior is not Marble grey... it's Classic grey.

[Crimp a Length!]

Good value IMO, think prices have steadied out a bit.........

[jackal]

Is it good value ?

Not so long ago there were plenty around at late 30's and henry punted a silver one out for 38 or so iirc.
