Boxster S or '97 993 Turbo..... The Choice I Made

So…… 4 years ago on May 1, 2011, I retired. At the time I had five cars including the Boxster and a 1997 993 turbo. To be honest, I enjoyed the Boxster more than the 993 turbo. The turbo was a very special car, but I enjoyed the mid-engine and top down driving of the Boxster more. So, in November of 2011 I sold the 993 turbo with 41,000 miles on it for $68,000. At the time it was a reasonable price.

Fast forward to today… my prior 993 is on eBay with 51,000 miles….

Porsche 911 2dr Turbo | eBay

The fact that in 3 ½ years the value of the 993 has gone up $50,000 is….. disturbing. There is no way that car is worth north of $100,000. No way.

But if I had to do it over again I would have hung on to it... and sold it now!!
