993 Turbo S

[hobo]

What kind of money do these command nowadays ?

RSJ have got a speed yellow one coming in shortly, 98 plate, £60k. Is this about right ?

Also, are they worth the extra over a standard turbo ?

[Rob_T]

hobo, if you look at their website they have a rather special gt2 for similar money... go on.... you know you want it...

[hobo]

Is that your old one ?

Saw it advertised elsewhere not so long ago.

Why did you get rid ?

Anyone got a pic of a 993 TT-S ??

Looks exactly the same as the car I have for sale (page 2 classifieds), however mine is a non-Turbo.

I think I'd pass on the GT2 for the 993 Turbo S to be honest!

The yellow one is my friend's car. I think he had it in with joel before. My mate's gf is giving him grief as he has the 993 tts and a 360 spyder!

it would appear that you have spent too much time interferring with sheep in the valleys of late, or you are a hormonally imbalanced woman. either way as a result you appear unable to assess the automotive world in a rational and logical manner. dial 999 and ask for an ambulance immediately.

Apart from the suspension i think the 993 Turbo S is an awesome car, and will no doubt hold it's value exceedingly well.

Buy it, get some PSS-9's, and keep the standard shocks and springs for when you come to sell it.

"I think I'd pass on the GT2 for the 993 Turbo S to be honest! "

Yep - me too...;-)

But also this one is possibly still about from Porsche&911World classifieds...and nothing to do with me.
993 TURBO S 1998, UK car, 2 owners, 34K miles, black/black, immaculate, usual Turbo S spec, FSH, Tracker/stereo, rare and special car, offers c. £60K.

Also, I'm sure someone was selling a latish reg lowish mileage blue Turbo S for 40 something K this month somewhere but the price seemed low so possibly a misprint.

[clubsport]

I saw this car for sale when it was for sale at RSJ about 18mths ago....It is one of the genuine 31 rhd 450bhp Turbo S cars,,,
Price is about right for a the car being sold with warranty & dealer facilities...try finding another!!

If you fancy blowing some dough Hendon Way Motors have 2 for sale. As usualy no prices unless you phone up but from pressing my nose against the window they look fairly clean

If it is my friend's TT, it is already extremely low in the suspension deoartment!!

john, i think you misunderstood me, i don't like the turbo s suspension because it is too crashy, whereas pss-9's give you at least as good control/damping but with better comfort and you can have it as low as a ROW spec turbo s or as high as a US spec turbo.
loved the new issue by the way, esp 993 vs 996.

Cheers Pete. I think it/we are getting better. Still some annoying typos - two technical typos, and two layout errors - bugger!

Glad you liked it - looks like we're stirring things up in the Porsche mag world anyway - some interesting things happening at one of the other mags......

- You definitely need to brush up on your sales patter Rob!

(It would appear that I'm not the only one who'd go for the 993 either )

PS: More room for my wooly girlfriends in the back of the 993 as well
