What price a 993?

[vinceg]

Am looking to make a long overdue commitment to a 993 late summer time. I have been cruising the respective forums/net sources/ads etc over past 2-3 months looking to refine knowledge & target spec and form views on right price. On the spec side I think I am there but on price side I remain less that clear "" hence would be grateful for any advice/views on offer. I appreciate it all comes down to a specific car in the end but looking to set guidelines here in order to know which cars make sense to chase and which not.

Target spec: 993 coupe, 96/97 varioform, good condition, full service history plus documentation, colour (blue, silver, grey , black), leather + ac + sun, 50-60k miles.

Against this I believe the below would be the reasonable target prices (cash) from limited research undertaken to date "" grateful for any significant opinions to the contrary:

Private

As above £27-29k
C2S + C4S plus £4k on above
High mileage ie >90k minus 3k on above
Low mileage ie <=40k plus 3k on above

Dealer - plus £3-4k on above
LHD - minus £5k on above
Targa "" plus £1.5k on above

fair or off the mark?

Sounds about right to me mate, though left hookers can go for cheaper than you state!

I'm no expert, but I tend to think that for some strange reason there is a widening gap in current prices between the C2 and C2S models. Rarity probably.

A private C2 with say 50k can be found now for around £25-£26k, whereas a C2S with same miles may command £33k. Condition and history are still paramount.

Just my opinion, but if you want the best looker, go for the C2S. But for the best drive then the standard C2, although some may disagree.

How about a 1996 Zenith Blue Targa, superb condition, 57,000 miles, F/O/P/S/H. With built in shower, just paid 28,000 for it and its worth every penny. Go for it, i am chuffed to nuts with mine, water leaks and all.

That is dear. Tidy '98 coupe in Trader this week - 56K, fPsh, Zenith with Grey, just serviced and tested - £24,950. Wave £24k cash about and who knows. They are about for less than £28k.

LHD prices suffering at the minute, a good indication that RHD prices are under steady pressure. Sub 20 grand private now (if not less) for a left hooker with 70k plus miles.
