Good luck finding a 98 993C2S for a reasonable price.
It took several years for me to find a
clean 993 and when it became available, no hesitation on my part: A quick flight to Vancouver with ready cash.
After many years of wrenching on my 911, I can tell you that there is a huge difference between a 911 and a 993 all around. The 993 is
much more complicated to work on.
Reality?? Whatever the market is prepared to pay is the reality. Most likely, you'll find 993's in the US. In Canada, how often would one see a nice 993 for sale?
This sea-foam green beauty with a clean history was a real surprise.
For a variety of reasons, I'd seriously consider a Cayman before any other water-cooled Porsche. I think the Cayman is under-appreciated but that may change.
Paul mentioned some good reasons pro and con.
And why does Vic Elford drive a Cayman? I suspect that the mid-engine characteristics plus some performance-extras makes it a real winner.
Instead of chasing the illusive 993, consider the Cayman. And no way would I sell my 911 first before buying another Porsche.
