- The G series is now a tractor by modern standards. I genuinely think they are overpriced now for the experience you get. If it ever needs an engine rebuild you're gonna regret not selling it, also slower than the 993. Sell it while the market is nuts.


#2 G series (overpriced IMO, take the $)
#3 993, it's has cost issues but it's so pretty and is a nicer car overall
I agree with all of this except the "tractor" comment. With some judicious suspension work, a g body is a razor. Unlike anything you can get today, except miata's, s2000's and the odd lotus. But they are very much overvalued. At the end of the day they are amazing cars at 30k, at 50-60 they're just a trinket.

I've not had long term 993 experience, but believe its got the 911 attributes with enough modernity to make it less of a toy and more of a "car" without being too far off the mark, so yeah, despite its value it would stay.
