For all the Turbos, Club Sports, Slantnoses and miscellaneous other exclusive 911 models, there’s still something special for me about a standard, unmolested Carrera. Like many P-car fans, one of my favorites is the 993. This car struck a great balance between classic and modern. It’s been 15 years since production ended but these cars have firmly established themselves as a modern classic. This 1997 911 Carrera for sale in Miami is not a garage queen, but a moderately used example that would be attractive for someone seeking to use their classic 911 as intended.

It’s rather impressive that these 911s have retained the majority of their retail value from new. Few other cars of that era can brag about this, but perhaps it speaks to the brilliance of this particular Porsche. The follow up act of the water-cooled 996 series was less than well received, which helps to bolster the image and value of the 993 series 911. Depending on mileage, you can still find 993 Coupes in the $30,000 range. Considering comparable 911 Carreras I’ve seen lately, the asking price for this car isn’t too far off, if perhaps a few thousand dollars high. Perhaps the uncommon color is being taken into consideration, or the full documentation that is available. However, give it a few years at most and I’d suspect a 911 like this will have no problem pulling $50,000.
