Hello!

Looking for a 1997/98 993 C2S in silver, black or white.

Car should be original with all papers, keys and service records.

Thanks

Good luck!

Not sure if the white 1998 C2S was sold by Luus. A few rennlisters were inquiring about it. Low mileage but pricing was up there.

Who has their original switchblade keys intact??? By becoming a member, you can view the classified section of Rennlist.

nice car but it should be a manual shifter.

Thanks anyway

You might be better served by educating yourself before looking for a 993.

The chances of finding a car with all service records, papers and keys is small. Further, once you learn more, you'd realize that the original keys don't really matter and have little value to anyone else but you.

If you take the time to understand what's important/not important to look for in a nice 993, you might be able to make a better decision and also save yourself some time.

What is your budget for a C2S?

Also, getting a car with the suspension already upgraded is a major plus unless you plan on buying a car with as little miles as possible and then not driving it.

@ golfballdeluxe - Can't understand that you say it's not important to have papers with a car showing the service history? In fact it does add value to a car if the history is documented. Wouldn't it be strange to have no records.

@ Onami - budget is 50k +, depending on the car.

first thing is to better define how you intend on using the car...in other words, are you looking for a garage queen, or a driver?

Then narrow down exterior/interior color preferences

then "must have" options

Looking for your specific car, for your specific purpose, , in your particular price range...will take some work.

That being said, great cars, owned by great people-many right here on this forum, are available quite often. Naturally, the wide bodied cars are more rare, and more expensive. That being said, there never seems to be a short supply of them on Autotrader, C2S and C4S that is.

Better define your perfect car, then share as much detail as you can with this group. Honestly, you'll be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and helpful group of folks (as in helping to spend wheelbarrow's full of your money )than right here on rennlist.

Good luck, and welcome

I didn't say having records isn't relevant, but it's far from required to make a good purchase on a solid 993, which really should be your goal. If you read what I wrote, you'll see that.

What I said is, after around 15 years, many of these cars will have changed owners many times. The cars that come with ALL of the original papers and service records since new gets rarer and rarer with the passage of time. To discount a great example because it doesn't have ALL the original documents/service records/keys will not only make you miss out on many great cars, but also make your search much, much more difficult.

Further, I cannot understand your interest in having all the keys, and them being original. I've never seen anyone else express an interest in that.

What you should instead be looking for is a nice example within your budget that passes the PPI with flying colors; hopefully it also has all the major mods, i.e suspension etc already done. The rest is only important to someone who doesn't know yet what's really important to look for in these cars.

Service records/original papers/keys are nice, but nowhere near very important to have, compared to a stellar PPI and a fair price. It will, however, wind up making your search much more difficult with little change in the ultimate outcome.

Did you look at Luus' white C2S. From what she has posted so far, it seems like a very clean car.

I think records are very important. They speak to the type of owner (s). Originality equally important. Original keys are not. Both of my previous C2Ss were purchased in the mid to high 50s, years ago. You should be prepared to pay mid 50s to 60s for a really pristine example with the kind of records you are talking about.

Luus car is really top notch. The best. If you like tan interior I would not hesitate.
