1-owner 1995 Porsche 993 Carrera 4 for sale. Vin: WP0AA2998SS322021
It passed smog with flying colors and has a clean California title, title in hand. AutoCheck (same as CarFax) and recent PPI is available upon request. A detailed description is for you below.
Car has 70,950 miles, in classic Polar Silver over black leather. 6-speed. Four-way electric seats, automatic speed control, sunroof. Car was originally purchased in California (San Diego) and had most of its miles in Los Angeles. Car went to NY a few years ago and was a weekend driver, around 1000 miles / year. Garaged (of course). To give you an idea, the car had its 60,000 mile service (with 64,000 miles) in 2007. A photo of the service paperwork is included in the gallery link below. Car was shipped back to California (Los Angeles) in December and is garaged in Venice Beach.
The Good:
This 993 is in beautiful shape and has been dealer maintained until January where it is being attended to by Claudio of Foreign Sports Technicians, a master mechanic of air-cooled Porsches in Santa Monica. He describes the car as very solid and very very strong. It's fully stock and unmodified except for the stereo system and speakers (I've kept the originals and no holes were drilled, original wiring harness is uncut). Car has had a new clutch (under 12k miles), distributor service, new alternator, new belts, new fan belt sensor, the oil-filler pipe had a leak that has been fixed, passenger headlight fixed. Engine has not been steam cleaned so you can clearly see the work. DME relays replaced, wiring contacts for rear spoiler motor repaired. New tires (less than 800 miles on them) and new alignment. If you live in CA, registration is paid until 02/2014. AC is cold. All trunk shocks and deck-lid shocks were replaced (isn't that a treat). Visor clips replaced. Sun roof seals replaced. Engine has 3 small drip-free leaks, common even in cars that have 6,000 miles on them (check the comments on the PPI, it's in good shape and they're over the timing chain cover). Inflation kit, jack and tool kit are all intact. The interior is absolutely amazing and looks brand new. All "must do now" repairs have been completed as best as I know. And yes, the sunroof pulls fast and does not leak. Photograph of option sticker is at the link below.
1995 Porsches are OBD-1 cars and therefore do not have the carbon build-up issues that require later 993s to have top-end rebuilds before passing smog. That's around $8k that you don't have to deal with. This car does not have the engine-light problem that the later cars have.
Reserve has been adjusted for the following:
Everyone is pretty clear on the value of these cars. 1-owner 993 with 70,000 miles goes for between $38,000 and $41,000 miles depending on its options, color and paint shape. The reserve on this car has been adjusted for the following finds: The PPI has revealed a leak in the front oil cooler as well as a leak in the rack and pinion steering that will need repair at some point (no drips on the garage from them). As well, I used insurance to pay for paint repair on a scrape up around 2008 which reports on the AutoCheck / CarFax. Hint of paint repair and a tiny bit of overspray is visible on the driver's bumper / fender (please see photos). There are 4-5 small paint chips in the driver's door (though no door dings). There is a very small half-moon on the passenger's side windshield that is barely visible (even hard to photograph). As with nearly ALL air-cooled 911s, the door strap latch is broken and it's up to the owner if this bothers them. The driver's front-seat-height switch only goes up, I have the replacement switch (cost $100) which simply needs to be installed. There is a seal around the driver's door which has worn though it does not leak (check detail in photos, cost is $35). The passenger window switch works intermittently ($30). I would suggest changing the battery. Though it is very new, I think that it's best to change it considering the new alternator (per Claudio). There is a small dime-sized rip in the stick shift boot which happens on all of these cars from putting them in reverse.
I ENCOURAGE you to contact the mechanics who have seen this car personally and ask about it. Really though, if you see the car in person and test drive it, you will get it. It's impressive in real life. Even smells fantastic. It's a beautiful, guilt-free daily driver.
Car was recently featured in "GoPro's Photo of the Day" twice and is being considered to be included in Porsche's book about the 50th anniversary of the 911.
I live in NYC and the sale is being handled by my family who lives in Venice Beach where the car is stored. He knows the car as well as I do and we're both available to give you details. He works very long hours so we would appreciate serious inquiries only.
There is a gallery of around 70 high quality photographs below, including details of bumper scratches and the underside of the car.

Will be happy to see this go to another air-cooled aficionado!

Watch Porsche legend Jeff Zwart frolic in the snow in his 356
Wed, 14 May 2014Racing driver Jeff Zwart picked up a 1953 Porsche 356 Pre A to use as a historical prop in a Cayenne commercial, then decided to keep it when the filming was done. Then, explaining to filmmaker Will Roegge that his vintage toy does really well in slippery conditions, Zwart throws it around in the Colorado snow - on pencil-thin studded tires on 16-inch wheels - to prove the point.
Don't expect roostertails in this winter wonderland video, however; with just about 60 horsepower at sea level, gumption drops to about 40 hp when playing at 9,000 mountainous feet. But that's still plenty to work as a testament to the phrase, "If you've got it, flaunt it," and you can watch it below.
Porsche 911 Targa Turbo for Geneva debunked, 919 Hybrid and 911 RSR racers coming instead
Fri, 28 Feb 2014Porsche has proven adept at making sure there is a version of its venerable 911 for practically any wealthy driver's desires. If you just want a great all-rounder then buy a standard 911; open-air driving, then the Cabriolet is for you, and if you need a compromise between them, there is even the new 911 Targa.
Gossip earlier this week surfaced on various websites that at next week's Geneva Motor Show, Porsche had designs on introducing an even higher-performance Targa variant, a Targa Turbo. The rumored mashup would combine the wide body from the 911 Turbo with the super-complicated power roof from the Targa (see right). Assuming no changes in power, that would mean 520 horsepower or even 560 hp in a Targa Turbo S model. Unfortunately, we're hearing that this tasty bit of scuttlebutt is incorrect. Autoblog asked Nick Twork, Porsche North America Product Communications Manager, about the rumor, and his response couldn't have been clearer: "Totally false."
Twork did elaborate that company will be "debuting the Porsche 919 Hybrid, our new LMP1 race car" at the Swiss show, and Stuttgart has also announced this morning that will show its 911 RSR racecar, too - either of which we reckon is a lot more exciting than another Targa variant.
Porsche Supercup racer dies in crash in Australia
Tue, 15 Oct 2013Even with great strides made towards increasing the safety of motor racing, fundamentally it's still a dangerous sport. And now it has claimed another life.
That life belonged to one Sean Edwards, an accomplished GT racing driver. Edwards was killed at Queensland Raceway in Australia, riding shotgun in a Porsche 996 GT3 while acting as instructor. The driver was airlifted to hospital with critical injuries. Sean Edwards was 26.
The son of former F1 driver Guy Edwards (whose car he drove in the filming of Rush), Sean won the European GT3 Championship in a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and drove a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 to repeat victories at the 24 Hours of Dubai as well as this year's Nürburgring 24 Hours. Edwards had been competing in the Porsche Supercup, whose standings he currently leads with just two rounds to go, and could be crowned champion posthumously.
