1996 Porsche 911 Turbo

Here’s a rare thing: could it be that with this car we’ve stumbled upon a Porsche 993 Turbo that is priced reasonably? These days when I encounter a 993TT with an asking price below $160K I immediately wonder what is wrong with it. And I asked the same question about this example as well, yet nothing stands out. In addition, this is a paint-to-sample 993TT so it is sure to be of the more rare variety. As always, asking prices aren’t necessarily reflective of selling prices, but there have been examples of the 993TT selling a decent bit above the asking price here. Some of those are ultra-low mileage, but all-in-all this one feels like a reasonable ask. It isn’t cheap, or being undervalued, but it does seem reasonable and may even represent a nice value long term given where the Turbo market appears headed. A thorough investigation to insure there truly is nothing wrong with it surely is warranted, but from what we see here it presents very well.

This is the first modern Porsche I’ve come across with a Linen Grey exterior. We’ve seen it before as an exterior color on the 356 and it was fairly popular on ’80s Porsches as an interior color, but once we slip away from the ’80s it becomes very uncommon. To choose it as an exterior color the original buyer had to be going for that vintage feel and its lack of brightness doesn’t necessarily suit the lines of the 993. So this doesn’t go down as one of the more exciting color combinations we’ll ever come across, but maybe that will just make it a sleeper. It is because of that lack of excitement that the asking price here seems low relative to most other auctions, but I’d imagine a paint-to-sample Turbo like this one probably stands a fair chance of outperforming (on the market) many of the standard colors that we see quite frequently. That could make this a nice buy at this time, or for a buyer who simply really likes this color then it represents a chance at owning one of the last of the air-cooled 911 Turbos for less of an outlay than some of the more popular colors.
