Nice car in a quite lovely color. However, my price analysis is not as favorable as some of the other ones above.

90,000 mileage will bring the price down quite a bit. I know it's not crazy high numbers, but for 993 it is a bit too high. Remember that lots of people are purchasing these cars as collector vehicles with the potential of resale. And 90k mile car will mainly likely attract your regular Porsche guy who is looking for a driver and won't pay crazy money.

The Carfax issue is big, and no matter how well this minor damage is documented, it will always be a turn off. Your regular Porsche enthusiast won't mind much, but the doctor & lawyer types that want an air-cooled, and are willing to pay a lot, will walk away.

And finally, the car is Canadian. That's "north of the north," and no matter how much assurance you give that you have not driven this vehicle in snow and/or on salty roads, it will still bring doubts. Especially when the car has travelled 90,000 miles.

I am not trying to be negative but rather give you some of the key facts to consider when pricing this car. I sale air-cools for living and I guess have a good grasp on what people like and what turns them off. However, every car deal stands on its own and you might have someone offer you the $70,000.. But in my humble opinion, in the current softening market, this car is about $47k - $52k (considering that the Carfax does say that there was an accident, or minor damage)

Perhaps your best bet would be to sell this car on Bring A Trailor. Their selling platform gives you chance to interact with potential buyers and you will have plenty of time to truly describe this car and clear up any negatives there might be.
