1998 993 C2S - Good/ Bad?
Hey Folks:
I'm looking at a low mileage 98 C2S. Pros? Cons? Fair market price? Thoughts are much appreciated. |

Not a lot of cons to that!
Fair market price, that's a tough one, prices have been falling dramatically. There was a really nice one that went quick (to a reseller) on eBay for $35K, low miles, original paint, etc. etc. (might have been a '97). |

Approx $35 - $45K depending on condition.
For me, the "S" widebody is more desireable than a C2 from 95-97, and may demand more $$$. If I am not mistaken, all 98's have the widebody option.

I think the C2S widebody is one great looking car! One would think that they would hold their value fairly well too.
all Pros...no Cons

JMO but the turbo and S bodies look like a caricature.
The 2S has no suspension/engine/brake advantage over a n/b. It is heavier and has worse aero. If you like the exagerated hips, go for it.

Pros: like the shape, truly last of the air cooled variety and last MY for 993 so colllector car status is historically worth more than any other 993's.
Con: it's value will be determined by its originality and mileage and condition so the owners will be afraid to drive them for fear of dents and other minor annoyances of owning a garage queen. But to truly use one is to enjoy and get the benefits of other's depreciation at this time. |
