looking at purchasing my first 993 wide body next week and in a bit of a dilema about which car to go for.
example 1 is a 993 TT up for 31k with 100k miles but with a full fPSH blue with silver leather. Honest straight car.
example 2 is a 993 c2s up for 34k with 60k miles blue with black leather and full turbo kit also fPSH.
The 993 tt seems a lot of car for the money but has anyone had any exprience of high mile examples ? how reliable are they and what about re-sale after 12 months with 115k on the clock ? do they all typically need top end rebuild around 100k miles ?
I know the c2s is a differnt car altogther but im looking at keeping either for about 12 months seems like the c2s will hold its money better they seem to be in great demand at the moment...
decisions decisions.....what do you all think ?
 
Isn't the TT missing it's service book/stamps? If so and you are thinking about resale in 12 months then you should bear in mind it will put people off buying it.
 
Has full set of stamps.. however the only thing bugging me is the mileage. I have rang a few dealers and they say they would not be able to sell it on without some sort of warrenty and cars over 100k miles will not be warrantable...
 
Hi surinder Both turbo and c2s are in very high demand right now, both shouldent lose much in 12 months depending on use. But to be honest 12 months is a very short amount of time to get all the benefits of these cars. For me the first 12 months was the most expensive, but only because I didnt do my homework or have the car checked out mechanic wise.Typical beginers mistakes. Its worth having them checked out, I know that some specialists will do this for around £150-£200. I took on someone elses neglect and had to put it all right. But if you get a good one it will be one of the best ownership experience's you can have. My advice is go for the one you really want, and dont pine for it a week later.
 
will not be buying either without a PPI report but if this pans out would a high miler 993TT sway you over a c2s or 4s.

The servicing costs is roughly the same according to Northway but I suppose what I'm saying is, is there going to be a market for a 993 TT when its pushing 110k miles ? even if its cheap. The C2s will probably still be woorth 30k all day long at 70k miles...

Nice car btw Dongawoy .. if you want to sell it give me a shout...;-)

I can only speak as a C2S owner although a friend has the TT and I would always go on mileage and condition.

There is no doubt at all that the TT is an incredible car and whilst it doesn't exactly make the C2S seem slow it is rather humbling. C2S is a bit more raw and TT a but more GT. I would love the shove of the tt which I guess everyone would but I'd still go for the better car, in terms of mileage and condition.

So, despite the lower mileage if there was little to choose between the two condition wise and especially if the tt was the better of the two I'd go the tt route. But it would have to be better to turn my back on the C2S with 60k
 
If you intend to keep the car for only 12 months and are concerned by resale price, then I would recommend the C2S. A TT with 100,000 miles plus will take a big hit on resale while the 70K C2S will be appreciating/holding its value. This assumes all other things are equal service history, condition etc.

no its a std 993tt. like i said tempting at sub 30k but i think if i purchased it, I'll be thinking of big bills come service time... nice car thou..


now what about high mileage c4s's seem to be a fair few of those about.. running costs less than a turbo and should hold its value better what do you think ?
 
You need to be looking to keep these cars for a few years and condition and history are important. Reliability in both is excellent and remember that the Turbo cost £35/40k more than the C2S and is over engineered, repairs and services are going to fairly similar as a lot of the Turbo parts were used in the 'S's. Northways are experts on both so I would be inclined to go on which car they think is the better one after they have inspected them.

I cant see how you wouldnt be able to sell the TT for around £30k (within £1/2k) in a year or two's time as 90k cars are over £35k. likewise the S you should still be able to get within £1/2k of your purchase price.
