100k cause of a color? Yikes.

[AudiVwMeister]

weighs robbing a bank! hahaha. man i LOVE that car. its close to my dream car which would be 1997 turbo S in riv. blue with grey interior.

100k cause of a color? Yikes.

yep, porsche prices especially for 993s are ridiculous

If you document everytime you start a car, you need to get a life

[CozmoK.]

Maybe this guy is bidding on it....

[ToucheTurtle]

I had a 1:18 scale diecast of that car in that color when I was a little kid.

[Churras]

never tracked, never seen rain, starting log...

Or maybe you just plugged Durametric in and read where it indicates how many times the engine was started? I mean that only takes like 10 seconds to do and anyone can do it.

In any case I found this interesting:

I have been informed that this is the only 1998 Riviera C2S in North America and also the only Riviera Cashmere combination 1998 C2S in the world.

$100k? Yeah I can see that being realistic. This car is going for more money than some of the 993 turbos but on the other hand it's a whole lot rarer.

Plenty of beat-to-sh*t 993's out there you can intentionally rust and put bags in.

Please don't tempt me.

[ThreadBomber]

Wouldn't surprise me if Seinfeld is in on this, actually.

Sweet, sweet car.

[Smigelski]

This 993 also only has 12k miles.

[mikes96GTI]

I think the interior is hideously mismatched to the exterior. C2S is a great car though. I'm shocked at the 100K bid. I wonder if its the low miles, the color, or both.

[spockcat]

I have a tarp in that color. I will be posting it tonight on eBay.

1 million per episode and that was before all the rappers got rich and devalued everything

[kraut_pauer79]

is that Audi's Nogaro Blue with a different name?

[10-25]

Arena Red walks all over that.

Was thinking the same thing.

[DerSpiegel]

Seller is attempting to shoot the moon. Rock on brother best of luck, that car is worth high 40's on the very best day.

993 Turbo will always be worth more than a like-vintage C2S....no matter what the color.

And no, I don't believe the high bid is legit.

Ehh, even higher mileage 993 C2's with really undesirable color combinations are fetching ~30K or even more in my area.

I might be the only one, this shade of blue looks silly.

[GTE77]

not even close.

You know just as well as I do that rare doesn't necessarily mean valuable.

[Obin Robinson]

Agreed. On the other hand I stopped trying to make sense out of the air-cooled 911 market a while ago. The values are all over the place and as cars get wrecked, rusted, or "restored" certain models are getting rarer to find in original condition.

What makes the market even more confusing are the rick bankers, oil sheiks, and shipping magnates that will absolutely have to own a certain car and money is no object. They will pay whatever someone asks and it throws the market value completely off. Sure this certain car is going for a bunch but maybe it's because the buyer has a 8-figure checking account and simply doesn't care what the price is. On the other hand don't expect other 993s to go for anything near to this same price.

I'd rather have this blue 993

[driveareliablecar]

yes! Its all a lie, a big bloody lie! Baaaaahhhghhggggg

[cretinx]

the 993 market is insane.

[Son]

That is a good color to be covered with painters tape on roadtrips.

[a2a4raddo]

riviera blue with tan leather....no thanks.....make that leather light grey or black please. nice car, but not worth 100K imho. At the end of the day...its still a Carrera S.....not all that special and not as fun to drive as a narrow body Carrera.

Exactly what I was thinking. Tan/parchment colored interiors are usually my favorite...but it just don't match right with that shade of blue. That car would be way better with gray or black insides.

[om617952]

Eww! Rather have three 930`s for that price.

[Son]

That car would be way better with gray or black insides.

Also, no sport seats, no care.
