2003 Porsche 911 Turbo X50

2003 Porsche 911 Turbo X50

Published March 2, 2016 by Rob

Last week we featured a pretty nice Seal Grey 996TT that sold for $44,100. As usual, it was a very nice performance value. As part of that post I spoke of the possibility of these cars attracting the notice of collectors and mentioned that I felt that notice would be – at least for a time – limited to interesting colors and X50-equipped cars. Here we have just such an example with mileage similar to last week’s 996TT and a similar asking price to where the Seal Grey example sold. This Midnight Blue Metallic 2003 Porsche 911 Turbo, located in Texas with 52,694 miles on it, probably has too much mileage to really grab a collector’s attention, but at its current asking price it should fall as another really nice value and all things considered should be a better value than last week’s example.

It’s an all-turbo day for me, and I think this also makes for three straight 911 Turbos I will have featured. We’ve actually been looking at quite a few air-cooled Turbos lately, though a significant portion of those examples have come from the 930. Much of that probably has to do with what attracts my attention most since there are always examples of the 993 and, to a lesser extent, the 964 to choose from, yet the 930 finds its way onto our pages most frequently. Every model deserves its due so for this one we will move to the end of the air-cooled line to look at a very vibrant 993TT. While the 930 captures attention through a nature of almost pure aggression, the 993 elicits excitement through the shapeliness of its curves and the overall beauty of its design. Even the whale tail is more subdued and molded into the 993’s lines such that it seems a natural extension of the rear. Along with those refined lines the 993 also brought with it significant refinements to driveability that go beyond the basic evolutionary steps the 911 Turbo had previously passed through. With twin turbocharging and all-wheel drive helping to both deliver and make use of the 993 Turbo’s prodigious rear-engine power, gone were some of the 930’s more diabolical handling traits. The 911 Turbo had long served as Porsche’s showcase of its ability to produce performance machines that came with few compromises to luxury and refinement and the 993 brought the air-cooled line to its apex.

1988 Porsche 930 Coupe

Published February 26, 2016 by Rob

Last week I featured a Grand Prix White 911 Turbo 3.6 and talked about how the 964 is one of the models I particularly enjoy in white. With this Grand Prix White 1988 Porsche 930 Coupe I think we see a nice contrast in the way the two models showcase that paint. For me, the 964 shows much better for reasons I probably couldn’t explain, but I think much of it comes down to the prevalence of the black trim on each model. Others may have the opposite reaction; I’ve found that a white exterior tends to do that with cars. With their respective interiors we have a much different story. I love the contrast of the Burgundy interior on this 930. It works phenomenally with the Grand Prix White exterior and is far superior to the boring Grey we saw on the 964. So with both Turbos we have a little bit of a mixed bag, at least regarding the exterior and interior colors. Returning to this 930, the mileage here is reasonable for its age, though higher than most 930s we come across. So long as it has been well maintained that shouldn’t be of too much concern and should allow for it to sell at a much more reasonable price than lower-mileage examples.

2002 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe

Published February 25, 2016 by Rob

We’ve had some discussion lately about the possibility of Porsche’s 996TT becoming popular on the collector market, which would then lead to higher prices as larger segments begin to take notice of these unloved, but extremely quick 911s. There is little doubt that the GT2 and GT3 are beginning to garner that appeal, but the Turbo remains less certain. Prices have gone up, but only marginally, and even with higher prices these remain one of the best performance bargains available. I am one that thinks these will become sought after by collectors – not to the same degree as the air-cooled Turbos, or at least not yet, but sought after nonetheless. However, as with many collector vehicles I think for the time being it will only be very low mileage and/or rare color models equipped with the X50 package that we see attract such notice. Examples with a few miles on them, like this Seal Grey 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe located in California, should still come in for reasonable cost. And that’s a very good thing as it means buyers can still get their hands on a fantastic machine that remains in good condition, but without having to mortgage the farm.

The Slate Grey Metallic 1991 Porsche 911 Turbo we featured in January remains up for sale and the price has been reduced by a little bit from $120K to $115K. I thought the original price was relatively reasonable, so as it comes down this 964 Turbo becomes just that much more appealing.
