You are viewing a mint 1998 Carrera Cabriolet with 84K miles on it. Superbly maintained and owned by a Porsche enthusiast. You will not find a cleaner 993 anywhere.
This car has been adult driven and always garaged. This is the ultra desirable and rare 993 with tiptronic---very few of these were made and they rarely come up for sale. This 1998 is the last year Porsche made an air-cooled motor.
Everything is in good working order and the AC blows ice cold and was just serviced. The top in the picture is black but, it is going into the shop next week to get a brand new fresh grey top. I want to make sure this car is like new the for new owner. I also just had a complete engine service (6K) done less than 100 miles ago. I have receipts and your welcome to speak with the shop (Black Forest) in San Diego. The service included:
* Transmission Service---new fluids
* AC Service
* All new belts (3)
* Fresh oil change
* New Fuel Filter
* New Plug Wires ---The wires were 371 plus labor and we had to drop the motor for this another 1700 dollars
* New Plugs
* New Cabin Filters
* 4 Wheel Alignment (317)
* New Distributor Caps and Rotors
* New Cabriolet Control Unit---with a 2 year warranty
* New trunk shocks
* New valve cover gaskets
I just spent 6K on the motor and I have the receipts to prove it. This motor is very fresh and tight and will be worry free for another 80K miles. This car has a fresh motor and will have a brand new top!!! I spent all that money on the 911 because I thought I would own this car forever but, last week my wife drove a Cayenne and wanted it---I told her she could not have 2 Porsche's and I am now selling her 911.
The car has a multi-disc unit in the trunk with the spare tire, compressor, toolkit and jack. The rims and tires pictured in the photo do NOT come with the car. I am including the original Turbo 911 rims. If you are interested in purchasing the rims and tires separately please give me a call.
Bidder is responsible for shipping. Upon end of auction successful bidder will submit a NON-refundable 1,000 dollar deposit. 500 to be paid immediately and the remainder of the deposit to be paid within 24 hours. The remaining balance of the winning bid to be paid within 3 days.
Please call me prior to hitting buy it now as I am selling this locally and reserve the right to end the auction early. I ask to call me because I unfortunately have 2 negative feedbacks because I had a kids backpack and motorcycle tank bag that was listed on Ebay and I sold them at a garage sale the same day people bid for them on Ebay. I explained to them I sold them and they threw a fit and gave me negative feedback. Please see my feedback.

Which is quicker in the standing mile, a Subaru WRX STI or a Porsche Cayman?
Thu, 26 Jun 2014The 2015 Subaru WRX STI and 2014 Porsche Cayman are both saddled with unfair reputations. The STI with its huge wing and gold wheels has the title of the ultimate boy-racer. On the other hand, Porsche brand snobs look down on he base Cayman as just a wannabe 911. In reality, they are both pretty fantastic performance cars. But what would happen if the two of them lined up at a stoplight, and maybe the guy in the suit in the Cayman started throwing some revs at the young man in the STI? Automobile decided to find out in a recent video pitting the two stereotyped hot rods against each other in a standing-mile drag race.
In terms of raw numbers, they are surprisingly close. Both use flat engines and six-speed manual transmissions here, but the Subaru has more power and torque. However, the Porsche makes up for it with 300 pounds less weight. Neither should have a problem with traction either thanks to the STI's sophisticated all-wheel-drive setup, and the Cayman's mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
The comparable specs certainly show themselves in the real world for the race. We're not going to give away the winner here because it's too exciting, but let's just say the finish is very, very close. Scroll down to watch both of them shrug off their stereotypes and show off their real performance.
Porsche tells 2014 911 GT3 owners to park their cars pending inspection
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Porsche may have have a serious problem on its hands. After a rumored five 2014 911 GT3 coupes caught fire in recent weeks, Porsche launched an investigation and stopped delivering its road-ready racecar until it could diagnose the problem. Now, it has issued a press release asking all 2014 911 GT3 owners to immediately stop driving their cars until they can be inspected. Porsche is offering to pick up the cars from owners' homes and take them to the nearest dealer.
Porsche confirms that the at least two 911 GT3 coupes them have caught fire in Europe, and it has elected to inspect all 785 2014 GT3s worldwide. However, it claims no drivers have been injured in the fires. Unfortunately, Porsche says, "Internal studies to determine the cause of the engine damage have not been completed yet," so owners might have a bit of a wait before they are able to drive Porsche's ultimate 911 again. Scroll down to read the entire press release.
Porsche recalling 4,400 911, Boxster and Cayman models over hood latches
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Porsche has issued a "precautionary" and voluntary safety recall affecting some 4,400 sports cars across the globe. Here in the United States, the recall includes 1,382 911, Boxster convertibles and Cayman coupes, all of which are from model years 2014 and 2015.
Porsche will be replacing the lock bracket for the front cargo area (the frunk) after internal testing revealed that, while the vehicles meet "strength requirements," specific parts might not meet the company's quality standards throughout the vehicle's life. There have been no reports of accidents or injuries.
Owners of the affected cars will be notified within 60 days and will need to report to a nearby dealer for a free repair, which should take about 30 minutes.
