Was thinking of swapping the car out for a 911 turbo but was soon out of the question when I saw the prices they are asking for them,couldnt believe my eyes, it will take a lottery win to get the 964 or 993 examples and the later ones have the ruined styling. Oh well lets carry on dreaming.......
Porsche thoughts, soon dismissed.
- Thread starter goon
- Start date
The prices & availability of any 964 & 993 have gone off the scale last 18 months
You only need a quick look at the relevant classified section of 911uk.com which reveals just 2 x 964,s & 3 x 993,s
2/3 years ago the same sections would have 15 or 20 of each available from £10k on 964,s & £15k on 993,s
I,m talking non turbo of course as those model,s have always held "special" rates of £25k upwards with no sign of them relenting .
A great way of enjoying an investment though

should have been followed by "providing you get lucky with no engine meltdown problem,s" 
The net is full of arguement & debate over this but in reality it would seem luck is a major factor in watercooled ownership up to 997 Gen2 :wink:
997 gen 1,s did go sub £20k ( viewed one myself 2 years ago at £18750 ) for 80k examples but seem to have strengthened also

The turbo has a different far stronger engine. If it's a 997. I would only ever consider the Turbo. Plus I like the lights.
I reckon that 911 bubble will burst sooner rather than later. They are wonderful and for every day a 996 Turbo S is a fantasy, but its just so tatty and naff in and out... feels like 1980's kitchen Appliance and looks even worse. Just not Worth the money...
