AND PLEASE DO NOT RING UP FOR A TEST DRIVE THIS CAR IS NOT LEAVING THE SHOWROOM TILL SOMEONE HAS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR IT. YOU WOULD BUY THIS CAR ON LOOKS ALONE.
Fair enough, might get rid of a few tyrekickers, but really? I wouldnt be spending £70k on a rare car without a decent test drive for myself, and a good PPI.

Imagine trying to keep the miles down in it! No chance. How unfair is it though to not be able to test drive the car before you buy??? .....Is there any more 993 turbos`s about to even compare it too?


The car suits the Guards Red very well. I love it......Oh shit, its starting again as soon as i get a few quid in the bank......Some one buy it please so I can put the idea to bed already and just keep the X50 turbo

All the best

I have heard various reports on how well they drive. They are quite heavy and have very firm suspension. A friend of mine sold his as, though it looked great it was not much fun to drive.

Everytime I look at it, it becomes even more stylish & sexy....looks better with age.A 996 turbo will never become as iconic as this monster.

Some folks think there only worth £40k biglaugh and would prefer a very common 996 TT which must be worth more as its newer rolleyes

Yup the widebodied 993's do look sweet, but hey i'm biased!wink
The spoiler on it looks naff though, if they have to have a wing it would have to be the TT variant.

still believe its only worth £40K trade and £50k retail...rarity value? dont think so...theirs allways one for sale somewhere...some people might prefer looks over 996,but imo dynamically no way is it a better car...

Don't agree on 40k trade mate, due to the rarity, standard "nice" turbo's are retailing for the late 40's and sometimes more. Car is worth what people will pay, and i'll bet you your Fez it will fetch more than what you claim fancy the bet? wink

is it just me or does the bonnet look high and out of alignment on near side? wouldn't even think about buying this car without a good 30 mins test drive and then ppi if i like it. the sales guy at porsche craft or whatever he calls it now is dreaming. looks good in red but better in black IMO

£70k yikes for a 9 year old car, shortly to be 10 that at the time of launch every single major magazine worth its salt said was bettered as a driving machine by the standard Carrera 2 ... go figure! How the passing of time warps reality, as we look back fondly to a bygone era... when things were bettersmilewink!!!

Look what people are paying these days for 964RS's. The press slated them when they came out. I suppose it proves the old adage "don't believe everything you read in the press"
Some nutters will pay a lot more than that for 993's they must be off their rocker wink
