Been offered £43k recently, prices for low milers are firmer! Will not sell for any money (within reason) as waited so long to find the right one!
Best not use it then.

You see i would have sold and bought a higher mile one pocketing 10k. But thats just me. Different folks different strokes.
Same here to be honest, you can get a lot of car for 43k.
Thought i'd done well to sell my 993 C4S for 35k, bottom line was it's Carrera at the end of the day.

Total load of bollax.
Massive rip off for a relatively boring looking car in my opinion.
Ha ha i know its all the proper GT performance it has it needs them to keep it on the road I guess
I had a 993 C4S once looked the business from the back and sounded glorious with the RSR pipes but boy was it as dull as dish water all talk no action scenario, even the trouble and strife thought it was a boring car.
Everyone to their own i guess.

Just look at the prices on the web site - I think Nutley needs to become Nutty!!!
A 1999/2000 Ducati 996 SPS is almost £12K - ridiculous, plus the bike has had the original Termis changed which on an SPS is not great. I sold my 2000 SPS Red Bull Rep (only 20 ever produced) for £8k and that had the same mileage with full dealer history and BSB riders provenance too.
I just can't see a standard 993 being worth any more than mid thirties on a good day.
Yes it's very clean but as has been said you would not dare drive the thing as the value would depreciate with every mile you drove!! Standard 993 or 997 GT3 - hmmm - I know which one I would have and still have enough over for a few great trips to the Nordschleife - oh yessss!

C2s and c4s are quite different in my mind. I would never have a c4s...
Yet.. Own a c2s!

As previously said, thos particular debate has been done to death. I think the car in this thread is worth 45k.

If i had no c2s, i would pay that.

It took me ages to sell my nice well maintained 139000 mile 4S in Ocean Blue with nice black interior.
The price- £23500! The prices for these low mileage cars are purely speculative, just hoping a mug will come along.
There are so many mileage snobs around this model and so much bullst by people who don't really know much about these cars.

Just the reason I looked for and bought an over the 100K 993. I wanted a car I could use without worrying of piling on the mileage, also a 105K mileage car is alot cheaper to buy than an 85K mileage car. ...... 20K mileage difference and probs 5 grand cost difference.

Who says Nutley is Nutty and lives in La La Land.
I see a deposit has been placed on the 993s at almost 60k
Nice work if you can get it.
Could not pay that myself.

I rest my case - more than one Nutty unless of course it's a collector.

It's a museum collector's piece at that sort of mileage and price. Not for use on the road by real people. But if you happened to want a brand new 993, this sort of example is probably about as near as you can get today.

Some people who want a 993 don't want a car has covered 60k plus. They don't want a 996 or a 997. Who can afford a 991! I can see someone paying collosal money for the right car and using it. The naysayers here may not like it, but if you WANT nay NEED a 993 and conventional mileages don't appeal then Nutley have your car/s. where else do you go to buy one, there are none for sale.

You only need one person to buy a car,and they are not making any more 993s,the sparkly low miles examples will always command a chunky price,might bug some people but it's true...

It does seem to bug people on this forum, however I guess they have not tried to find a pristine one in todays market, I looked at some dogs before finding mine, how many reasonably priced low miles cars come up for sale, worth the premium in my experience, each to their own and I like a time warp car over a leggy money pit! With just 181 c4s over here, and only a few more C2S, there aren't many left with low miles and in original good condition. Nutley car was fab!

Ticks all the boxes for me, good colour too, should sell fast, speak to Cameron Cars or Mr911, they always seem to sell these and might have a customer waiting!

Nutley have a very good reputation for quality stock - he's also happy to hold on to cars until the right buyer comes along - he's had this 968 sport up for ages at just under 20K but there's no doubt it is a rare and beautiful thing http://www.nutleysports.co.uk/Porsche968Sport-Blue...
