A 993 is a beautiful 911 IF photographed properly. This has not been IMO.
25K surely in these mad days seems a good price for a manual NB compared to lesser previous model aircooled 911s out there?
Yes the body could be rusting the suspension shagged, but I'd bet a fair wedge it wouldn't require as much work as a comparable mileage earlier 911.

187K miles for a 993 engine, it's barely run in yet.

I'd have a good look at history and invoices to show what has been done/replaced. I spent over £50k on mine a few years ago getting it from around 80k miles to 218k. Did include a £15k engine rebuild though, and was my daily.
However it a different world regarding value now, but just be aware you can spend money on old high miles cars.😨

I have a 993, having owned it for 8 years I am out of touch with prices as I have one I don't look. I paid over the odds all that time ago to get what I felt was a nice one.
Has the market realistically moved (not just sellers speculative pricing) up that much that moderately high mileage cars can command asking prices into the high £30 000's?
If so all I can say is WOW.

This appears to be the case. IMO the 993 is still the air cooled bargain for what you actually get. Has the market realistically moved (not just sellers speculative pricing) up that much that moderately high mileage cars can command asking prices into the high £30 000's?

I also still believe that they are the prettiest 911 to date.

IMO they are also the best of the post 73 aircooled.

I think PH members should add a footnote to all posts declaring their current car! IMO they are also the best of the post 73 aircooled.
. Previously I've also owned a 2.7, 3.2 and a 964 ....... Compared to the prices of those these days, the last of the aircooled 993 still seems a bit of a 'bargain', and IMHO really is the best of the bunch.
I see its still for sale.
