That's about average for the car and yes, it is a very rare car-only 182 were built. One of my all-time favorites!

Yup, very rare indeed being the pinnacle of the last air cooled 911's. Not to mention fun as hell to drive. Although I'd be concerned about dry rot with a car this age and so few miles. Porsches were meant to be driven.

The 993TTS are very rare, there are only 2 in Kuwait. Ive searched for a couple of TTS online and they are priced as a Exclusive 997S which can reach up to 150usd heavily optioned.
