Default Any 993Turbo S for sale?

Anyone know of a Turbo S for sale. Stock preferred. White or arena red would be perfect. These don't come up that often but wanted to check if anyone knew of a private sale opportunity.

Thank you in advance

I think there are at least 6 for sale right now. None is white or arena red. I think they are all either regular black or arctic silver.

Two at a Porsche dealership in Delaware
One at Sloan in CT
One on PCAR Dealtank
One at a non-Porsche dealer on Long Island NY.

Is this a good list of options on a 993 Turbo S? Any notable or must have ones missing?

If you could find one with sport seats, that would be a plus.

Are you sure that is a Turbo S? Power looks wrong, and virtually everything there listed as an option was standard on a Turbo S. My Turbo S has all of that stuff, and my options list did not include any of it. That spec could be one, but I have not seen the Turbo S equipment listed like that before.

On a separate note, have you seen Arena red with grey? You should see it before you buy it. I passed on a Arena Red TTS when I got mine because I only wanted that color if it had a black interior. Personal preference of course.

Hello...I am posting some pics of the trunk sticker that lays out the options, the interior and the car itself. Is something off?
The wheels ofcourse look to be painted aftermarket. They gray is not as good as black as a color choice.

As a US car, you could get a Certificate of Authenticity if you have any doubts. The window sticker might tell the story as well.

The wheels could be original. That was an option although I don't see it on the list you provided. It might be one of those option codes under the hood. The only thing that looks significantly off in the pics is the steering wheel. I think the Turbo S carbon wheel had stitching on the airbag section. The car also appears to be lowered and the corner markers in the US were not clear. Radio also looks wrong.

Sorry I can't be more help. It does look like it is a Turbo S, but I also wonder about the absence of a clear story. If I was selling a Turbo S that had a replaced steering wheel, I'd be prepared with a reason. Perhaps they do have the whole story, I don't know.

Pic of (what I believe to be) the correct steering wheel:

Attached is cert of authenticity. Also a few more pics. Car was in San Antonio last and then exported to Europe in 2015.

Just a guess, but perhaps a previous owner did some mods and a later owner tried to bring it back closer to stock. That would explain the steering wheel and the wheels. The steering wheel is clearly not correct. The wheels may have been original, but seems like they were probably bought later and painted to match given that they are not on the COA.

Side markers, radio, rear bumperettes, and suspension are the other items I see as non-stock here. The suspension, depending on what they did, may be a positive, and aside from the steering wheel and wheels, all of the items can probably be brought back to stock pretty easily.

Hope you are getting a steal. Looks like high miles and some work to be done. I'm guessing under $400. Under 300 would be a steal. 500 would be crazy in my opinion given what else is available. Very rough numbers of course. I am no market expert and only know about them because I own one.

83k miles and wants 400k for it + whatever it takes to get it from Europe to Texas. Probably another 10% all said and done so around 440 I am guessing.
Can't seem to find a Turbo S stateside that is not black or silver.
