Used values rising and values of late 993s higher than early 996s because regarded as the last classic air cooled rear engined 911 and more reliable than early 993s.

Bad

Monster 408 bhp four-wheel-drive Turbo not a very nice drive.

All 911s still have floor-hinged pedals.

Very likely to have seen a few track days.
