993 Turbo S - couldn't resist it!



Picked the car up today - really pleased!

I decided that I wanted a car that is rare, built in limited numbers, in immaculate and original condition with a perfect history. The car must stir my emotions, and feel special to be in. Be almost depreciation proof. I want something fast yet nice to drive on the road. And finally, ideally a 2+2 so that it can actually be used, rather than it just sit in my garage collecting dust, only to be used a handful of times a year!

It works for me!! thumbup

An overweight wobbly barge (compared with a RS 993 CS) with a few carbon fibre bits tacked on to justify the whopping big price tag..............The yanks love em


yikes boxedin



Stunning looking car, Guards Red does suit the 993 (My RS was Guards)














Don't have any American blood do you Mark ?

And I was thinking about a 996 C4S. That car is awesome.

How much? They've been depreciation proof for sure.
Do you think the warranty expiration will make any difference?

How Much - I could have bought a 996TT or a 997s for the same money... I have already been offered more money than i paid for it!!

Warranty - Not really - goes with the territory

Very, very nice.

As for warranties, you don't need them with hand built, well engineered 993's (touch wood!)
