Niiice - priced about right, and as Mark says, wide body ones do command a few more readies.

I however have my eye on something else! Yellow in fact!
You crossing over to the dark side mate? I saw your pic on pistonheads at the latest Porsche/ TVR meet.

They are holding their value better than 996s.

Debatable !

Simple supply and demand dictates that, all other things being equal, 996s will depreciate more, Jamie. Around 100,000 996s have been sold compared with around 20,000 993s.

A "straight" 993 C2 with, say, 100K miles will still go gor

Each to their own, Jamie. I personally think it's a much "prettier" design than the 996 - especially from the front.
I think the front looks odd, I like the back though

Car looks and sounds very nice, though seems a tad expensive to me (who knows little about what one of these things is worth )
