Sometimes I think about those very fortunate people, and probably deservingly so, that every few years would swap out their Porsche 911 Turbo for the newest model year and be happy. Going from a 930 to a 964 Turbo was probably nice, and then going to the 993 Turbo must have felt like heaven. So why would you question your friendly salesperson who only likes you because you spend lots of money with them when the new 996 Turbo showed up on lots and was promised to be the best 911 Turbo yet? I can imagine the disappointment, but then again those same people are probably driving a 992 Turbo S this very day. Not exactly a tragic story.
Still, the 993 Turbo is somehow beating father time and getting more and more desirable every year. What once was a really fun 911 Turbo under $100,000 is now two or three times that, and the really prime examples, like the one we have today, have some mind-blowing asks. How does Iris Blue Metallic with 10,000 miles sound?

This is a really fun color combination wit Iris Blue over a Grey leather interior with Midnight Blue accents. I was expecting all black, but this was a wonderful change of pace. As mentioned, the 10,000 miles is the game changer on this one and the price sure screams that.
A $315,000 ask is a real monster price for a 993 Turbo that isn’t an S. There was actually a time when you could actually buy a Turbo S for that price, but I think we are long gone from that now. Still, I think you really want a shot at a pristine one of these in a different color combo, you aren’t going to be unhappy. It’s only money, right?
