How Low Will It Go?: 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera 2S Andial 3.8

Edit 11/17/2017: After three years with a over $230,000 asking price with the same seller, ask on this neat Andial-modified Carrera S has finally dropped to $149,993. Of note is that in over three years, the picture, description and mileage have never changed. A neat car, but buyers should do some heavy investigation before the deposit. Is this car a sign that the air-cooling market has also struck the 993, or is this just an aberration?

The 993 is, without a doubt, one of the more desirable 911s in the range of cars that span several generations. Enthusiasts agree, having quickly pushed prices up on these models over prior generations like the Carrera 3.2 and 964. In fact, it doesn’t ever seem like prices on these cars came down much – as soon as the 996 arrived, faithful flocked towards the older models, snapping them up. Especially sought are the Carrera 4S and Turbo models – but there are some really rare gems hidden that pop up from time to time. Obviously, the ultra-rare Turbo S, Carrera RS and GT2 models are a great example – quite rare indeed. I’ve also previously written up an even more rare Andial Twin-Plug Twin-Turbo, one of the reported 19 assembled by the noted factory approved race tuner. Today’s car, like that car, mixes some of the styles of the rare cars that we didn’t get or didn’t see many of. The base is the already semi-rare Carrera 2S; like the 4S, the body shell was shared with the Turbo, but unlike the all-wheel drive variant, the Turbo’s upgraded brakes didn’t carry over. To solve that, the owner of this car turned to Andial – with a host of exterior upgrades to make it look like a Turbo S and a host of RS-spec 3.8 upgrades to make it go well, this is one tidy package – and exceedingly rare:

All in all, the build on this car is incredibly impressive as the Andial cars often are. Rare are the non-Turbo versions modified by Andial, but let’s not forget that Andial was the firm that Porsche turned to when they needed to assemble the 964 Cup cars in the United States. Andial was a defacto Porsche subsidiary that worked hand in hand with their motorsports division before it was really well established in Porsche Motorsports North America – so much so, that Porsche eventually bought them outright recently. The build sheet is undoubtedly impressive and comprises the highest quality OEM pieces. What they effectively built was a Turbo S look RS for the street; retaining some of the best characteristics of both models while also maintaining the comfort of the regular Carrera. The combination of effective and proven modifications into a very desirable, last year air-cooled 993 is intoxicating; coupled with a great color and very low miles, this is a stunning package overall. Does that make it worth $228,000 or more? Well, that’s certainly hard to say – but the twin-turbo car I last wrote up was $60K less asking price and arguably equally well executed with similar miles, and even then it lingered for some time on the market even in more desirable turbocharged form. I can’t imagine that this car will be a quick sale at this price, if it will even trade hands at all. The market is growing, but this car – perhaps a one-off – seems to be quite far ahead of the market right now and would really require a special buyer looking for just this type of car.
