Overpriced??? Advice needed!

[peroni]

I'm a first time Porsche buyer and have been searching for a quality 993 C2 cab for a couple of months. I saw one today at an independent Porsche specialist that was in mint condition and really impressed me. It's a 1994/5 car that has covered just over 60k miles and has had 4 previous owners. There is a full detailed service history, mainly with Porsche but also a couple of independents and the car has clearly been well maintained and looked after. The car is on at £28k.

I've really only looked at private sales while I have been searching and am not too sure whether the price of this car is what you would expect from a reputable Porsche specialist or if it is overpriced. Do you think the price sounds about right or am I in danger of paying over the odds? All advice appreciated!

For an early non-varioram cab I reckon it does sound overpriced - especially now summer is over. There are a number in the Pistonheads classifieds, some private & some dealer, but none are over £27k. Without any more info I'd say £24-5k sound more like it. Try haggling.

Alot depends on the spec and what has been done and what needs doing really.

On face value it sounds expensive but if its had check straps, perfect body, refurb wheels, bonnet / pu respray, new tyres , new hood, carbon sports seats., climate ec etc etc

There is no such thing as a cheap 993 !! You either buy one for 22/23 and then spend 4/5k getting one perfect or you buy a perfect one for 26/28ish.

I would reccomend looking in the classifieds and then getting it inspected by an independant there really are some great cars in there ( including my 993 cab for sale) so I may be a biasd.
