100% agree! I was lucky enough to have bought my 993 in 2007 when the market wasn’t so crazy. 15 years later, just oil changes and other maintenance bits, I now have 110k miles on it and love driving it today as much as I did the first time I sat in it! I don’t care what it’s worth now because I’ll never sell it! Great video 👍🏻
WOW! You had perfect timing on your 993! 💯 Most owners hold on to their 993’s for a loooong time, I can totally see why! Great story man, keep it forever 🙌🏻 Steven Hughes thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Just bought my first air cooled Porsche this year. 993 C2. Loved this video so much. You hit all the reason to own one, drive it and have fun and not lose money. Thank you!
Congratulations! 🍾💥💥 That’s the BEST OF THE BEST! At first, it’s a very different driving experience… but after a few days, everyone gets hooked! 🙌🙌 Daren Kirbo thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Enjoyed your pitch, thanks! But I believe there is a side-note to make here. I own a 993 and a Boxster from the same year, 1997. Although they came from the same production-line in that same year, there are clearly many differences. Forget the obvious for a moment. Reason why Porsche was not making money on the 993, was not just quality. It was to a large extend the build complexity and inefficiencies in the manufacturing process. Take off a door-panel from a 993, then do the same with a 986, and you will understand. Does this all translate into value for the owner? No! Just look at the crappy way the storage bin in the doors of the 993 are constructed. Most are broken by now. Or the 5 separate instruments in the 993, with the fogging tacho, versus one unit in the 986/996. Which can be switched from miles to km and it is very easy to add the boardcomputer … try that on a 993 - good luck! Like many, my 993 is incontinent whereas my 986 ran more km’s, but without ever dripping any oil. With the help of Toyota, Porsche cut lots of waste out of their manufacturing process from 993 to 986/996. This waste did not add value to the owner of the car, just cost. There is a very relevant point that you are making. The big difference was that Porsche also changed from an engineering-led approach to making cars into one that is Marketing-led. Success led to higher production numbers, which meant lower cost per unit and hence higher margins. My 986 and 993 are both fantastic cars. The big differences in my view, owning both: 1. Price and cost to run a 986 Boxster are much much lower than the 993. Both don’t depreciate, we’ll see how they gain value once the next generation is used to electric rather than petrol. The investment-to-fun ratio today definitely favors the 986. 2. Experience: the 986 may be the better drive, but the 993 provides an unbeatable experience. Its rear-tail-handling, air-cooled roar, odd seating position, etc. are unique for these (true) 911’s. Indeed, the 993 is the last and best ever built by Porsche to give you that experience.
They are a huge outlay at the start, but over time you will spend a small amount of money on maintenance, but you should get that back when you come to sell it, so apart from the huge outlay, you should in the long term get your money back
Very true 💯, you’re investment is always secure with a Porsche 993. And few investments are as fun… a huge factor in any purchase! Andrew Nichols thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Agree 100%. It is the most beautiful Porsche and also as safe investment as possible when it comes to a car. If well cared for the chance is you get your money back or even make some profit. The biggest value for me with my 993 Targa is the fun factor, but it’s good to know the initial investment is solid. Will I ever sell it? Not sure….
YEESSSS! The 993 Targa’s are incredible, the driving experience is taken to another level with all the Sun coming in the cabin. While it’s hard to put a value on FUN, these 993’s aren’t coming down in price…especially the nice ones! I say they’re worth every penny 🙌🙌 Henrik Falkner thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
I have a 96 993 C4S since 2003 and the quality of this car is superb. I had an 86 Carrera and you are right that both cars share many of the same parts. Have a great day. PS: I used to live in Miami, too!
I owned a g series but always craved the most modern of the air cooled. Sold it 13 years ago but have finally, with the stars aligning around home, family and work got myself a 96 993 C4. It has the varioram and also the shorter ratio'd geared g64/21. Couldnt be happier. Have watched this video many times as its nice to hear someone praising the car. I also love the fact it sits in the "i know my stuff and love the car for the car" bracket and not , "i have #$%loads of cash and want the latest ". Cant tell you how many times through drive throughs or on the freeway I get a comment or a cool hand signal from passing cars.....it also sounds cool. Need a video comparing the r107 Mercedes and the Porsche doors. I have both now and the merc definitely has nice door action.
Sounds like you’ve got a great one! 🚀🚀💯💯 Check the vapor barriers on the doors, it’s a plastic that almost makes the door act like a boom box….if it’s missing or falling, the door effectively looses bass when closing. The R107 is the Hollywood Mercedes, and a bank vault 👊👊 Mercedes used make the best in the world back then. Yeap, it needs a video 🙌🙌💯
Your channel is outstanding. World class content and delivery. Congratulations. I’ve owned 5 Porsches and today have a beautiful Panamera. Hope you’re able to do a Panamera video some time soon!
@@HernanSpeed Love my Panamera. Your praise of the 928, which was spot on, showed you’re objective and not one of those “front engine Porsches aren’t real” guys. I’ve had a 914, 944, two Boxsters and the Panamera, which is the most bulletproof of any of them. Looking forward to your insight.
We LOVE the Targa’s… we’re in Miami! 😎 The Targa’s have haven’t gotten the appreciation they deserve, but that’s starting to change 💯💥💯 One of our favorite models in the line! J.D. Thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Yeap, the Targa is more than just a Targa…it’s a Panorama roofed car! I also like cabriolets, but they’re darker inside than the coupe with the top up….less glass. So when you have the top up, it’s a not as airy. But the Targa is amazing all the time! 🔥🔥🔥
Huge enthusiast, I’ve owned almost every type of car. Started with the Porsches, but it’s just the beginning.. Much more to come! Thanks for watching John Mcloven! 🔥🔥
Great color! 🔥🔥 I’ve seen 993 Twin Turbos with Arena Red paint, it totally makes the car stand out in traffic. Take good care of it! 🚀🚀 Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Yesss, and original clean 964’s are getting harder to find. Lots of people are backdating them to make them look older, it’s huge here in the USA! Gotta love the 964! Thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
Great video. I suppose everyone watching this already knew all that because if you watch this video, you're already into the 993 :-D But great explanation and very clear ! You made me want to buy one. Friendly note: I struggled to understand what the lady was saying and it looks like she came from a totally different video (sound is different, background, etc). Note sure it's really value added for your videos to have an interviewer.
Hi Ben! Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it! It’s the same background, the entire video was over 44 minutes long… Too long. So I had to cut it down to a more algorithm friendly 10 minutes. Will get better as a shoot more vids, learning as I go! Thanks for watching Ben Verguet! 🔥🔥
Do not believe that any Porsche is cheap to run. An oil and brake fluid change costs me €1000 at my Porsche dealer. Parts prices are extremely expensive. I love 964 and 993’s but prices for these cars are so bloated that it makes absolutely no sense to buy one at this time unless you have money to burn.
Friend, the money is only burned if you do not recoup the funds when selling. With these cars, you sell it for more. Prices keep going up even in this economy, it’s actually accelerating….because it’s a safe investment. A new Honda is cheaper to run, but you loose a half of its value is a few years…now that’s burning money 💰 Porsche’s do not use special oil…oil is oil. How much you pay someone else to change it is another story. Tony Hirst thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
@@HernanSpeed I paid €185,000 for a 992 GTS do you expect me to change the oil? There's a lot of air cooled cars sitting on Elferspot now that are not selling at current prices Given current economic and geopolitical conditions worldwide my feeling is that it would be foolish to pay bloated asking prices. Basic 993's and 964"s with 150,000km + are listing for €130,000 and up. This makes no sense.
Yes because it’s the winter season, it happens every winter…year after year. Living in Miami, it’s summer all year. See these auction results from 4 days ago, no economic concerns here.. Prices keep going up rmsothebys.com/en/home/auction-results/mi22
La 993 è una bella auto di qualità e utilizzabile io ne ho presa una e c'è l'ho in garage insieme a una fantastica alfa romeo gt 2000 veloce del 1972 verde pino, quando però parliamo di auto più bella sono d'accordo se parliamo di Porsche ma se parliamo in totale allora ci sono auto di un'altro livello come le Ferrari lì parliamo dì un'altro Pianeta come fascino prestazioni e marchio, infatti è il mio sogno come la stragrande maggioranza di amici quando facciamo raduni Alfa Romeo e porsche, comunque sono felice dì averla come il gt alfa e quando posso ci faccio volentieri un giro con entrambe, i prezzi credo e spero manterranno su questi modelli perché sono auto importanti importanti che non esistono più la 993 è raddoppiata di prezzo negli ultimi anni stesso discorso per il gt 2000 veloce alfa, e per tantissimi modelli che iniziano a essere fuori budget purtroppo, comunque godetevi le auto quando potete e buona guida a tutti!!!!
The most important information according Porsche 911 (993etc) is: Driving a Porsche 911 is a sign that you don't have a taste of your own! Most buyers of a Porsche 911 in Europe are old men who have just retired. It looks so ridiculous when they can hardly get in and out..
It's because the young men can't afford air cooled Porsches. How many young men have the extra 100K to buy one? They drive 996's and tuned old BMW's. Hey, I speak from experience.
I think you have great info content and knowledge just love the 993 but I'm so thrilled with my 2010 997.2 Carrera Cabriolet widebody in artic white ! Cheers brother
Nice video but personally I find the 993 to be an ugly car. It just seems like Porsche wanted to build the 996 but the technology wasn’t there yet. The 964 is iconic by design but the 993 is a bit off, from the front and side it’s proportions look off, the shape of the 996 headlights but with round ones fitted, then the front looks like it’s from a different era to the rear. The interior is complex yet no better quality, in fact the 996 interior was designed for the 993 but Porsche didn’t have the money to make it a reality at the time. The 964 marks the end of the classic 911 the 996 the beginning of the new but the 993 just seems like the awkward bridge. Not one thing or another, old technology but trying to look modern and not quite capturing one or the other slow. Nostalgia for the time is what makes them valuable, it only takes looking at forums from the time the 996 came out to see how people said it was another planet of handling, speed and responsiveness, when people talk about the 993 it’s emotional but no one ever can say it was a better driving car. Maybe that’s what makes them so unique but personally I’d go pre 993 or post but put the 993 as the worst 911.
Ben you make lots of great points! A Porsche 964 3.6 Turbo with 18” Speedlines is my all time favorite, like in the Bad Boys movie!! You know what I’m talking about 💥💥 Ben Terry thanks for watching!! 🔥🔥
You're pretty much alone with your opinions. If you take a non-Porsche person out of the street and ask him/her to say which is the best looking air cooled, 95% of them will say 993. 964 and G-body are both great lookers though. 996... well... there's a reason you can buy four or five 996's for the price of one 993 or 964. Nobody wants them.
@@HernanSpeed In 1996, I was moving TONS of WeED from AZ, Tucson, where I live to the East Coast. Since HS I always loved working on cars. I also have my true dream car: 1956 Chevy Bel-Air Convertible w/a Continental Kit. Owning my 911 is a pain in the royal AsS. It's like leaving a child in a stroller out in the middle of the freeway. It sit in my garage w/evaporative cooling during the Summer months in Arizona. Zero rust. No one is allowed to drive it but me! The attention it draws, & I'm afraid of someone keying it. My grandson will eventually own it. He's 8.
Sounds like you’re Grandson has got a cool grandpa! I know about the upkeep, it can be a pain…especially if you want to keep it in pristine condition. I’d go for the Bel-Air! It’s got room for real adults in the back, an incredible cruiser! 💯💯

I traded my 2007 BMW 335 for a 993 straight up in 2010. Everyone said I was stupid.....now my car is worth over $100k and the 335 is worth $10k. Lol
Indeed!! This is what I’m talking about!💥🔥💥🔥
NR1416, thanks for watching! 🔥
That Beemer is probably not worth even that much. Nobody wants those. Air cooled Porsches, however, continue to increase in value. Always.
There is no comparison, but even worthless the 335I was a blast to drive!
If it’s a manual, it’s a fun time for sure! 🙌🙌 But part of the fun is also not losing money on a car, it lets me enjoy it more 👊

Enjoyed your pitch, thanks! But I believe there is a side-note to make here. I own a 993 and a Boxster from the same year, 1997. Although they came from the same production-line in that same year, there are clearly many differences. Forget the obvious for a moment. Reason why Porsche was not making money on the 993, was not just quality. It was to a large extend the build complexity and inefficiencies in the manufacturing process. Take off a door-panel from a 993, then do the same with a 986, and you will understand. Does this all translate into value for the owner? No! Just look at the crappy way the storage bin in the doors of the 993 are constructed. Most are broken by now. Or the 5 separate instruments in the 993, with the fogging tacho, versus one unit in the 986/996. Which can be switched from miles to km and it is very easy to add the boardcomputer … try that on a 993 - good luck! Like many, my 993 is incontinent whereas my 986 ran more km’s, but without ever dripping any oil.
With the help of Toyota, Porsche cut lots of waste out of their manufacturing process from 993 to 986/996. This waste did not add value to the owner of the car, just cost.
There is a very relevant point that you are making. The big difference was that Porsche also changed from an engineering-led approach to making cars into one that is Marketing-led. Success led to higher production numbers, which meant lower cost per unit and hence higher margins.
My 986 and 993 are both fantastic cars. The big differences in my view, owning both:
1. Price and cost to run a 986 Boxster are much much lower than the 993. Both don’t depreciate, we’ll see how they gain value once the next generation is used to electric rather than petrol. The investment-to-fun ratio today definitely favors the 986.
2. Experience: the 986 may be the better drive, but the 993 provides an unbeatable experience. Its rear-tail-handling, air-cooled roar, odd seating position, etc. are unique for these (true) 911’s. Indeed, the 993 is the last and best ever built by Porsche to give you that experience.

La 993 è una bella auto di qualità e utilizzabile io ne ho presa una e c'è l'ho in garage insieme a una fantastica alfa romeo gt 2000 veloce del 1972 verde pino, quando però parliamo di auto più bella sono d'accordo se parliamo di Porsche ma se parliamo in totale allora ci sono auto di un'altro livello come le Ferrari lì parliamo dì un'altro Pianeta come fascino prestazioni e marchio, infatti è il mio sogno come la stragrande maggioranza di amici quando facciamo raduni Alfa Romeo e porsche, comunque sono felice dì averla come il gt alfa e quando posso ci faccio volentieri un giro con entrambe, i prezzi credo e spero manterranno su questi modelli perché sono auto importanti importanti che non esistono più la 993 è raddoppiata di prezzo negli ultimi anni stesso discorso per il gt 2000 veloce alfa, e per tantissimi modelli che iniziano a essere fuori budget purtroppo, comunque godetevi le auto quando potete e buona guida a tutti!!!!
Ciao da Miami! Hai fatto dei punti importanti! 🙌🙌

Happy New Years! 🍾🎊
The 944 also saved porsche
This☝️ is very true, not many people know this!
Ramiro Barao thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
The most important information according Porsche 911 (993etc) is: Driving a Porsche 911 is a sign that you don't have a taste of your own! Most buyers of a Porsche 911 in Europe are old men who have just retired. It looks so ridiculous when they can hardly get in and out..

It's because the young men can't afford air cooled Porsches. How many young men have the extra 100K to buy one? They drive 996's and tuned old BMW's. Hey, I speak from experience.
I think you have great info content and knowledge just love the 993 but I'm so thrilled with my 2010 997.2 Carrera Cabriolet widebody in artic white ! Cheers brother
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Nice video but personally I find the 993 to be an ugly car. It just seems like Porsche wanted to build the 996 but the technology wasn’t there yet. The 964 is iconic by design but the 993 is a bit off, from the front and side it’s proportions look off, the shape of the 996 headlights but with round ones fitted, then the front looks like it’s from a different era to the rear. The interior is complex yet no better quality, in fact the 996 interior was designed for the 993 but Porsche didn’t have the money to make it a reality at the time. The 964 marks the end of the classic 911 the 996 the beginning of the new but the 993 just seems like the awkward bridge. Not one thing or another, old technology but trying to look modern and not quite capturing one or the other slow. Nostalgia for the time is what makes them valuable, it only takes looking at forums from the time the 996 came out to see how people said it was another planet of handling, speed and responsiveness, when people talk about the 993 it’s emotional but no one ever can say it was a better driving car. Maybe that’s what makes them so unique but personally I’d go pre 993 or post but put the 993 as the worst 911.
Ben you make lots of great points! A Porsche 964 3.6 Turbo with 18” Speedlines is my all time favorite, like in the Bad Boys movie!! You know what I’m talking about 💥💥
Ben Terry thanks for watching!! 🔥🔥
You're pretty much alone with your opinions. If you take a non-Porsche person out of the street and ask him/her to say which is the best looking air cooled, 95% of them will say 993. 964 and G-body are both great lookers though. 996... well... there's a reason you can buy four or five 996's for the price of one 993 or 964. Nobody wants them.
I own a 1996 Porsche 911 Twin Turbo S.
Ufff! That’s the top one right there! 💯🚀🚀 Take good care of it Santiago!
Thanks for watching! 🔥🔥
@@HernanSpeed In 1996, I was moving TONS of WeED from AZ, Tucson, where I live to the East Coast. Since HS I always loved working on cars. I also have my true dream car: 1956 Chevy Bel-Air Convertible w/a Continental Kit. Owning my 911 is a pain in the royal AsS. It's like leaving a child in a stroller out in the middle of the freeway. It sit in my garage w/evaporative cooling during the Summer months in Arizona. Zero rust. No one is allowed to drive it but me! The attention it draws, & I'm afraid of someone keying it. My grandson will eventually own it. He's 8.
Sounds like you’re Grandson has got a cool grandpa! I know about the upkeep, it can be a pain…especially if you want to keep it in pristine condition.
I’d go for the Bel-Air! It’s got room for real adults in the back, an incredible cruiser! 💯💯
