This has inadvertently become “Red 911 Week” for me here at GCFSB. While I do enjoy a bright Red 911 my interest lies in a few other areas with the car we see here. Most notably this 993TT provides a nice market contrast to the 996TT featured on Tuesday. It is simply amazing to compare the relative value of these two Turbos and there are very good reasons for the differences that probably are not necessary to regurgitate here. We know what’s driving 993 values. I am also interested in the value of this particular 993TT as the bidding has brought the price up fairly high and it isn’t too often that we see these low-mileage examples come up for an auction; typically they are listed with a sky-high asking price, making it difficult for us to get an accurate gauge on real world values. So this one will be one to keep an eye on: a Guards Red 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo, located in Florida, with Beige interior and 23,805 miles on it.

I have said this before and will reiterate it: Red over Tan/Beige always remains my preferred combination for a Guards Red 911. But let’s cut to the chase: bidding for this 993TT currently sits at $165,200 with the reserve still on. A quick perusal of other 993 Turbos up for sale places this one in the middle, though that is in part due to a couple of extremely low-mileage examples priced into the stratosphere. Relative to most, the bidding here is pretty high. Still, I would expect this one to rise some more and a selling price around $180K is probably where the appropriate value lies. We will see if it can get there. Like many other air-cooled 911s the 993 Turbo has shown significant appreciation over the past year so it is worthwhile to consider where the plateau might lie as I can’t imagine the standard Turbo will continue to rise in value so precipitously. The Turbo S may be another matter. For a car like this one these prices mean the mileage will have to stay very low for quite a while in order to insure a proper return so this 993 should be destined to remain a garage queen.

For the price of six or seven 944 Turbos.
Or one 928GTS AND one 993 coupe AND one Euro spec M635csi.
since when are these so ridiculously expensive?? im sorry, this is just overpriced. I get it some of the appeal – turbo, air cooled, low miles, but wow.
I’m so glad that I got mine with 29K miles on it when I did 4 years ago for $100k LESS THAN what the current bid is. But that also means I’m driving it much less now than what I prefer. Like Rob said, it will be very interesting to see where this cray appreciation will eventually plateau.
Anyone who bought 993 turbos between 2006 – 2012 are laughing – especially if they still own them. Good on you Will but keep driving it, thats why u bought it!
