You are bidding on a very nice, increasingly rare 1996 Polar Silver Metallic 993 Porsche 911 Carrera with only 36,199 miles. This car is factory original, clean and in excellent running condition. The reserve price is set at a very reasonable level. I reserve the right to end this listing at any time prior to the reserve price being met.
History of the vehicle - I purchased the car in South Florida where (it is my understanding), the car was originally acquired by its primary owner in 1995/96 up until a few years ago when he transferred title to his family in Georgia. I can tell the original owner cared for this car as it has been well kept. The family sold the car to an auction house and was subsequently purchased by a Miami dealer and sold to me in 2012. The reason I am selling the car is simply because I don't drive it enough to justify the vehicle storage which is limited at my home.
Maintenance - The car is stored in a climate controlled garage and has never seen snow or ice. According to a relative of the original owner, the car was maintained by a Porsch facility in Miami. I spoke to the mechanic that maintained the car and he remembers the car and its owner. He stated that the original owner was meticulous about the maintenance of this vehicle and verbally gave an overview of the regular services preformed. He could not release the service records since they included personal information on the owner. I also had the car inspected by another Porsche shop in Miami and it checked out. Since I do not possess the maintenance records, I took the car to a local Porsche dealer/service center this summer and had an inspection done as well as the extensive 30,000 mile recommended maintenance (per the manual), just in case it did not get done previously. I also had new Michelin tires installed. I will include the receipts for the recent service and new tires to the new owner. Also included is the original owners manual, 2 keys with fobs, spare tire and wheel lock.
Overall the car is beautiful, runs strong and there are no mechanical issues that I am aware of. The interior of this car is in excellent condition. The paint color (Polar Silver), is really nice and still shiny but has normal wear and tear as the car has been driven for 18 years. There are some small blemishes and stone chips in the paint only noticiable up close and obtained in the normal course of driving.
Shipping - Buyer is responsible for the cost and arrangement of shipping.
Payment - A $2,000 deposit is due 48 hours after the auction ends with the remainder due within 7 days of the auction ending in the form of a bank cashiers check. Once full payment has been received and cleared, the title and keys will be sent and the car can be picked up.
THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD AS IS WHERE IS WITHOUT WARRANY OF ANY KIND.
Serious buyers only are welcome and encouraged to inspect the car in person before bidding.
Thanks for your interest.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show Debuts
Thu, Sep 17 2015Consider the 2015-16 auto show season officially kicked off. The Frankfurt Motor Show offered a great look at the newest crop of production cars and conceptual machines, and brought some old favorites back into the spotlight for a closer look. (The Alfa Romeo Giulia, for example, debuted in June, but this was the first time most of us saw it.) Now that the dust has settled and we're all on flights back to the US, our editors cast their votes for their personal favorites from the Frankfurt show. These are the cars we truly loved seeing the most. But unlike other shows, there was no one runaway winner – all of the Top Five received positive praise from our team. We won't spoil the results, though. Scroll down to see what we liked most from this year's Frankfurt expo. 5th Place – MERCEDES-BENZ IAA CONCEPT View 12 Photos MIKE AUSTIN: The clean lines on this concept have me excited for a more elegant beauty to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Next to the Concept IAA, the lovely S-Class Coupe looks like an overstyled barge. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Yeah, the extendable rear is neat and all, but I'm more interested in the front-end styling of this one. It looks like the Tron version of a 300SL, in a good way. I'm hopeful it portends the future of Mercedes design. STEVEN EWING: I was super impressed when Mercedes said that, with the rear end extended, this concept has a drag coefficient of just 0.19. That's crazy aerodynamic. I'm not head-over-heels about the styling, but I think the lessons learned from this concept are really important, and will play a huge role in the future of Mercedes' products. 4th Place – ALFA ROMEO GIULIA View 15 Photos SEYTH MIERSMA: I can hardly express how in love with this car I am. The styling feels creative, modern, and evocative, without going over the top. The proposed performance is spectacular. And the Alfa badge speaks to a legacy of romantic motoring. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Pretty Italian car makes big promises and will probably deliver on about three quarters of them. I think that will still be enough for me. JEREMY KORZENIEWSKI: I'm really intrigued by the Giulia. It looks great, sounds awesome, and I'm expecting it to have a load more character than its German rivals. I hope I'm not disappointed. 3rd Place – JAGUAR F-PACE View 15 Photos GREG MIGLIORE: It's the first SUV for Jaguar, and I think they nailed the design, capability, and electronics. It's the right car at the right time.
Chris Harris hits the track with the Porsche Cayman GT4
Wed, Mar 11 2015The Porsche Cayman GT4 offers the first legitimate chance for Porsche's more compact coupe to really step out of the long shadow of its brother the 911. By placing the 385-horsepower Carrera S engine into the center of a Cayman and sweetening the package with a ton of truly high performance parts, the model can now really show off. The ever-enthusiastic Chris Harris puts on quite a display behind the wheel of the German brand's latest hardcore creation. As is his wont, Harris slides the GT4 all over the Portimao circuit with little wisps of smoke wafting up from its rear Michelin tires. However, what he gets really excited about is Porsche's decision to fit a real manual gearbox, rather than the PDKs rapidly taking over the company's highest performance vehicles. For anyone who loves seeing a sports car's oily bits, stay tuned all the way through because after hooning around for awhile, Harris puts the model up on a lift to find out what's so special. Porsche touts the GT4's 911 GT3-derivied front suspension, but this really shows just how many mechanical adjustments it offers the demanding driver. Related Video:
