Trying to source a LHD 993, anybody have any dealers they can recommend?

What would you price an early 993 C2 manual, allowing some +/-10% for mileage?

I've seem a nice Tip (with 70k for £17k, and a manual with 100k priced at £19k - both at dealers)

prices look OK to me. Check for accident damage like normal and buy on condition.

RSJ have a deserved reutation for quality LHD but you might pay more for it

good luck

Have you driven both? A tip is a 4 speed box whereas a manual is a 6 speed (one of the finest manual gearboxes on any road car).
If you particularly want a tip then go for it (some people prefer them, some people have physical need for one) but otherwise i'd suggest going for the manual.

As for prices, be aware that the lhd 993 market in the UK has taken a battering recently and as a result the prices don't seem to have dropped too much but cars simply aren't selling. As a result you may be able to do some fairly vigorous haggling if you have a motivated seller.

If you need any more help with 993's feel free to PM me, but i'm not the only one with lots of 993 knowledge on PH - there are quite a few others.

Good luck!

*insert sound of riccardo spinning-up, tasmanian devil style, so that he can disagree more vigorously*

It's a public service I do free of charge - as long as I can keep him on a terminal arguing with me on PH he's not on the streets causing an incovenience to the general public.

Do you know how much an OPC charge for a coolant change? It ain't cheap

RSJ dont have any at the moment, but reckon I should be able to get a good one for 16-20k, which seems to be the going rate.

If anybody has one or knows of a decent LHD 993 (Manual!) please let me know!

Clutch at 50k miles is good, but needs door strap (few hundred £££ and front fog light (they're about £130 a piece!) and with those things fixed, good tyres and working a/c it may be worth £19k.

You don't want to know what i just paid for a very healthy 95k mile 1996 RHD 993 C2 that needs a clutch...
