szabo_martin Report post Posted May 12, 2015 Looking at 993 Turbo values and high milers are going for similar prices to 05/06 Murci Roadsters. I definitely get the appeal of air cooled Porsches hence I own a 1965, but I can't wrap my head around 160K for a 993 Turbo with 85K miles. Do you guys see prices going much higher? They made 1900ish 993 turbos, so not a ton, but there were also 964's and 930's along with the new water cooled modes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
koenig928 Report post Posted May 12, 2015 So far in Canada, the prices have been a little lower here. A 97 was offered last week for $145k and currently a 96 is at a dealer known for high prices, they are reasonable $154k CDN or roughly $128k U.S. Not bad considering some of the prices I've seen in the U.S. I don't see these prices staying high long. http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Porsche/911/Woo...mp;orup=2_15_23 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood996 Report post Posted May 12, 2015 I think they are way over priced... as collector porsche go there are better options out there RS models, GT, and super lights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure what/why/how 993 turbos are up so high. They are absolutely incredible cars but not nearly as iconic as other more rare porsche models. But hey, God bless to anyone who owns one.

szabo_martin Report post Posted May 12, 2015 Prices in the US seem pretty hefty too. I wonder if the prices will ever drop or this is just the way it'll be Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
koenig928 Report post Posted May 12, 2015 Canadian prices are lower. I always compare the U.S market to ours. Especially if the car is rarer in Canada, and I'm likely to buy in the U.S. Even paying our sales taxes, its still lower here.

koenig928 Report post Posted May 16, 2015 Found a Canadian seller on crack: http://wwwb.autotrader.ca/a/Porsche/911/Mo...mp;orup=1_15_23 even for the U.S, his price is too high. Most in Canada are asking between $150k to $170k CDN dollars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyno Report post Posted May 16, 2015 With that color and low miles his asking price is not crazy. I'm sure it will sell! It's about $290,000 USD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about $290,000 USD If it was $290,000 U.S. Id agree, but his price is in U.S. He's asking a little too much even for a rare color. As it sits he's asking $419,000 and change Canadian. Well above what dealers are asking in Canada for these. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

koenig928 Report post Posted May 16, 2015 On the newer cars and high asks, its all credit. The average dentist or professional equal can easily get $500k loan for cars or boats at cheap rates. Credit is already starting to tighten, as it becomes harder to get, these prices will drop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

koenig928 Report post Posted May 17, 2015 I've also seen 930's at reasonable money here, when compared to the U.S. Even better with the 1981 to 1985 930's, most for sale here are Canadian market cars and are unmolested. Most of these in the U.S. are grey market imports and are molested examples. Also the 3.6 turbo's are reasonable here. Id say if you want a 911 turbo Canada is the place to shop.

szabo_martin Report post Posted May 20, 2015 Well to put it in perspective, I put a deposit and order in on a 2016 GT3RS and it was less. I get its a mechanical steering rack and manual gearbox.. so thus a more pure drivers car, but the 991 GT3 would rape it in every aspect.. at first was on the pdk..gay.. boat, but after driving a new GT3 I can say I wouldn't be able to keep up with shifting if driving hard. If you ever get a chance to drive a new gt3 and rev it out to 9K you'll see what I mean. Sucks that with speculators running the show true car enthusiast who were waiting for prices to drop will not get a chance to own them.

koenig928 Report post Posted May 20, 2015 It seems insane to pay more for these little bugs than a Murci or LP570 . . . I am admittedly biased. I agree with you. Murci in CDN dollars is a far better deal then most cars on the market. http://wwwb.autotrader.ca/cars/lamborghini...ue&wcp=True Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostoneman Report post Posted May 21, 2015 They are very overpriced, as are 930's now sadly. They are neither historic nor rare, simply an older variant of a model currently in production.....BUT, as with all things cars....if people will pay the money.....
