Also consider some other issues besided the obvious economy related ones.

This is a 20 year old car. The buyer pool is pretty small to begin with. Then realize all the OTHER Porsches in the same price range (say $25-35K).. so.. Other turbos, 3.2 Carerras, 964, 993s, 996 (which for daily driver use is superior to the 930, and likely out performs it), Boxster and Boxster S for instance.

IMHO, the buyer demographic for a 930 10 years ago was someone looking for the "hottest, fastest track car out there" type of guy. Now that these cars are older, its less "track" oriented and more concours or "original condition" oriented. They would rather pay more for the "perfect" car than one that has had some kind of accident.

The 930 will appeal to many (I love them, but man I don't want to afford to maintain one). The front spoiler doesn't detract to me.. neither do the Boxed Rockers or fender vents since they were available from the factory back then. The white Fuchs might be a bit much, but again, are period correct. I wouldn't change a thing to "sell it".

Guess the question really is, how quick did you think it would sell ? How long has it been on the market?
