WOW! I love 993 Turbo S'. I wish I could buy that car right now. Definitely will be a classic and a collectible (not "collectable").

I love Linen or White interior with carbon fiber. I think the contrasting colors look sick.

that is a gem - less than 5K miles! He paid $160K and is looking for $100K eight years later. I paid ~$160K and would kill to get $100K after three years (and that's including $50K in after market stuff!). There is a lot to be said for limited production - the S is very unique, although I don't think it can match the performance of a 996 - it is more of a true sports car. Not forgiving when mistakes are made which is the way it should be.

IMHO

I was watching SpeedVision yesterday and one of the commentators made the comment very low mileage is just as bad as very high mileage.

Yeah, this car has been on eBay a few times, it's not really the crown jewel of TurboSs. The fitment of the front bumper is terrible, it definately has some accident history. If I was in the market for a car of this caliber, I wouldn't bother with anything that's even been so much as dinged in a parking lot.

Too bad about the title issue.....I saw a Turbo S the other day and wanted to stop the guy and make him an offer to buy it right there.
