MarkHOST
I think the one example I have is when I graduated grad school, I was going to buy a car.
MarkHOST
I cross-shopped a 993 Turbos, C4Ss, and i ultimately for the same amount of money bought a two-year-old audi s4 the b5 s4 yeah so what an idiot so like one there was like a sport somewhere between 40 it was like 10 grand swing 40 to 50 was a uh in warren in factory warranty b5 s4 and then uh 993 Turbo.
MarkHOST
What color is your car? Arena Red.
MarkHOST
I still have the email, my Gmail.
Doug DeMuroHOST
There's a Supra.
Doug DeMuroHOST
The 993 is gone.
Doug DeMuroHOST
Are you g-
FilippoHOST
Well, it's...
FilippoHOST
I'll give it a run.
KenanHOST
Of course.
Doug DeMuroHOST
Are you thinking about, are you thinking about throwing down some money on the 993?
KenanHOST
I wish I could.
Andy AbramsGUEST
When he's shooting down, I don't know if it was a Berlinetta or a GTS, but it was yellow, I think.
Andy AbramsGUEST
Porsche air-cooled 993.
Andy AbramsGUEST
So bad boys had the turbo, and that was the fastest production car in the world.
Andy AbramsGUEST
Now those are like 300,000 plus for a 30-year-old car.
Andy AbramsGUEST
So
Andy AbramsGUEST
I ended up buying all three of those cars.
Andy AbramsGUEST
And I have my 993 and I'm about to sell that now too.
Andy AbramsGUEST
Okay.
Bill PatelGUEST
I knew that's what I just had to find a way of making it work.
Bill PatelGUEST
I can't remember the exact date, but it was simply with a 993, which back then were the cheap Porsches.
Bill PatelGUEST
Every 911 has its cycle.
Bill PatelGUEST
And when I first started, the 993 was the cheap car.
Bill PatelGUEST
I bought one, sold it, didn't make a lot of money on it.
Bill PatelGUEST
And this was when I would just buy it and drive it myself and then eventually sell it after six months or a year.
Bill PatelGUEST
Those were my three things that I used to check.
Bill PatelGUEST
Every night before I went to sleep, I would check those three sites.
RiriHOST
It is the 964 generation.
RiriHOST
The 964 generation slash 993 generation.
RiriHOST
And I'm going to explain why that happens.
RiriHOST
Technically, two new ones were introduced, but they weren't really that new.
6 MINS LATER
RiriHOST
and that's what i mean it's that whole even though it's not american it has got that level of loyalty that you know what when we need a good european sports car we go to porsche because they do they know that's they go to porsche no i know it's poor shot but americans don't do that they call it porsche to be honest that's how i know my closet american because i call it porsche too
TeeksHOST
yeah because i'm a bad man
RiriHOST
also just before we leave the air-cooled stuff 1993 there were some there were some special edition porsches in 1993 there was the 30th anniversary career 4 to celebrate 30 years of the 911 it was based on the turbo and it had four-wheel drive as well but um they got rid of the turbo So it was naturally aspirated, but had the turbo body and four wheel drive.
RiriHOST
It was only available in three colors and there was only 911 made.
Warren MadsenHOST
... yeah, I saw a car come up on, uh, Built For Backroads the other day.
Warren MadsenHOST
It was a zenith blue 993 that was well-prepped.
Warren MadsenHOST
Um, and it wasn't super low mileage.
Warren MadsenHOST
I wanna say it was, like, 80, 60, something like that.
Warren MadsenHOST
So again, that's not the kinda, like, collector car grade mileage.
Warren MadsenHOST
But it's asking 130 for it, which i- Right on the surface you're like, "Dude, this is just insane where 993s are," but whatever.
Warren MadsenHOST
It seems like a good buy at this mo-
Art CervantesHOST
Yeah
Richard MeadenGUEST
Yeah.
Stuart GallagherHOST
Um, and we have a, so a 911 993 Turbo S, and then we also had TVR Cerbera as well, and sort of the end of-
Richard MeadenGUEST
Yeah, we wanted that
James TaylorHOST
...
Alan GalbraithHOST
Huh.
John FicarraHOST
But when the, the later car, like the 993 came out, the turbo had all-wheel drive.
Alan GalbraithHOST
Ah, there you go.
John FicarraHOST
Right? And guess where, guess where that came from.
TimAUDIENCE
Hello there, how are you guys? Thanks, guys.
TimAUDIENCE
Yeah, I've got a 30-year-old 911 Porsche, a manual coupe, the old 993, the air-cooled.
TimAUDIENCE
Ooh.
Trent NikolicGUEST
Now,
Trent NikolicGUEST
Keep talking, we're listening.
TimAUDIENCE
I've got a couple of other toys.
TimAUDIENCE
What I was looking at was, and it's a big jump in price, is whether to get rid of that car and buy the 993 Turbo, which is like two to three times the value.
TimAUDIENCE
Yeah, big difference.
