The funny thing is, even if you bought a 993tt for 50k, and it was now worth 150k, would you sell it? I'd have to be hard pressed for money to consider it.

actually, that's tough to say.. i was reading some guys blurb on rennlist about how he went from his 993TT to a 997 something. he said the 993tt isnt the perfect car compared to modern porsches but does have its qualities which makes it very desirable. i dont recall what else he said but he definitely gave a different, refreshing perspective.
i suppose one would have to own it for a period of time before commenting? like any car, after owning it for X yrs, it surely does get stale and warrants an upgrade? (or maybe not in this case)...

Yeah really depends on an individual basis, but for me, I've got no commitment issues if I find the right car. This, a 930, or a high strung as fuck longhood 911 are dream cars, and I could really only get rid of one of them interchangeably for the other if I was ever put in the circumstance. Oh, how it feels to dream.

Even the summer of 2013, I traveled to victoria to purchase a local vancouver 993TT for my friend at 67k. | Wow!!
I'd be interested to know more about the TT that was in Victoria. What a deal! Mileage, year, color, dealer or private?
I have to admit I have been tempted to sell my 993 to a US buyer for $60k CDN and find a similar mileage 964 coupe for $30k. My C4S has 165kms. (Sorry Westopher and Thumper  )
The 993 is a special car but many modern cars will run circles around it. It's all about the driving experience.

I'd probably pony up for a 964 if I found one locally for 30k, pending nothing other than a manual transmission and clean title.

Finding a manual coupe in Canada for around 30k is not easy either. Here is a 91 C4, 175 ish kms. He may list it in the spring. He daily drives it including New Brunswick winters. Accident too. value of 1991 C4 - daily driver condition - Pelican Parts Technical BBS
In 2012 there were a few guards red coupes and a silver one for $25k in Van. I thought that was expensive and didn't like the colors either  | |

Its one of those things, you have to buy the car before it hits the market with these cars now. My e36 was not listed anywhere when I bought it, nor was the seller planning on listing for a while. It took some prodding and asking around to the right people. I feel like good prices can still be had, but it takes some networking and just being a decent person that people want to see their cars go to.

Couldn't agree more! Mine was not listed publicly. I can't stop looking for a 964 coupes so will post them up in the "CL good buy" thread if I find any decent ones.

Maybe just PM me lol. I really have a hard time buying a car I want right now though. I already have one car that deserves a garage thats parked on the street, having 2 seems silly. Although, we are looking at moving soon. As soon as that happens I'll be much more trigger happy.

SR Auto seems to agree the 993 TT is a good investment. They have two for sale. 96 TT 36k miles, $165k USD/ $210 CDN Instagram | |
