See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Some slight scratches"

Maybe one of the nicest 993's around.  3 owners all dry weather history, Texas and California.  No wrecks, no OBD issues, no stories.  Never been smoked in, and as far as I know, never been in the rain.  Full service history, including window sticker.  All books, tools and documents. Nearly new Michlein Pilot Sport tires.


If you're reading this ad you already know about the 993"s and where they stand in the list of collectible Porsches.  The C4 narrow body is the most rare of the 993's.  These are the last of the air cooled engines, some say the last of the true 911's, but let's leave that for others to decide.  This one is one of the nicest you will find.  It's not perfect, but it is damn close.  There are slight scratches on the undertray, there was a ding on the passenger door that was poorly repaired by a paintless shop.  You can't see it, it doesn't photograph, but it is there and there was a very small ding over the right turn signal on the front, that has been repaired.  Again, you can't see where it was, but I have perfect feedback and want the purchaser to know exactly what they're buying.

Every light and switch and system works and the air blows cold.  There are NO OBD II issues.  It did fail CA smog once, but only because I'd changed batteries and didn't know I had to have the OBD system reset to talk to the CA system. 

The stereo was changed long ago.  I replaced the after market unit with a Euro spec Becker Grand Prix. It has both bluetooth and iPod ability and looks like it was designed for the car.  The head unit is complimented with Focal Speakers and a nice amp.  Everything was installed in stock locations, nothing was cut.  And it sounds surpurb.  One minor issue as this is a Euro spec radio, tuning on the AM band is slightly off, but you can generally find the station you're looking for.

Pictures don't do the car justice, it really is sweet.

My wife and I have loved this car and have many great memories driving it to Monterey and to wine country.  But we're retiring and thinning the herd, so someone else gets the chance to take care of it.

I can help with shipping, but you're buying the car here so be prepared to ship or drive it away.

I require $500 in a non-refundable deposit within 48 hours of the successful bid.  If you have negative ratings or no ebay experience write me before you bid.

I've tried to describe this beauty as well as I can, but it is 17 years old and is a used car, no warrenties are expressed or implied.

Kia leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2022

Thu, Feb 10 2022

For the first year ever, Kia leads J.D. Power's annual Vehicle Dependability Study with a score of 145 problems per 100 vehicles. Buick (147) and Hyundai (148) round out the top three. The highest premium brand on the list is Genesis, with a score of 148. It's common for so-called "mass market" brands to lead this particular study, according to J.D. Power, as "premium" brands "typically incorporate more technology in their vehicles, which increases the likelihood for problems to occur" and aren't necessarily built to a higher standard that less-expensive brands. The highest-rated single nameplate is the Porsche 911. It's the third time out of the past four years and the second year in a row that Porsche's quintessential sports car has taken top honors. Porsche as a brand sits in seventh place (162) just behind Lexus (159) and ahead of Dodge (166). At the very bottom of the list is Land Rover with a dismal score of 284; the SUV specialist held the same unfortunate distinction on last year's list. Ram (266), Volvo (256), Alfa Romeo (245) and Acura (244) also performed poorly. The overall industry average score sits at 192 — mass market brands average a score of 190 while premium brands sit 14 points lower at 204. While Tesla is unofficially included in some of J.D. Power's results, the agency says the sample size it has access to for this study is too small to include. As has been the case for the past several years, infotainment systems dominate the list of problems reported by owners. Popular (or unpopular, depending on your point of view) complaints include built-in voice recognition (8.3 PP100), Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity (5.4 PP100), built-in Bluetooth system (4.5 PP100), not enough power plugs/USB ports (4.2 PP100), navigation systems difficult to understand/use (3.7 PP100), touchscreen/display screen (3.6 PP100), and navigation system inaccurate/outdated map (3.6 PP100). While problems with the car's infotainment and technology packages are indeed bothersome, it's important to remember that such issues aren't usually leaving owners stranded with an immovable vehicle like a broken transmission or blown engine would. Culling infotainment complaints from the results would reduce the average problem-per-100-vehicle score by a staggering 51.9 points. The vehicles included in this study are from the 2019 model year. That means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's the 33rd year that J.D.

Porsche Cayenne spied unconstrained by camouflage

Thu, 05 Jun 2014

Meet the facelifted Porsche Cayenne. Our eagle-eyed spy shooters captured this example of Porsche's freshened SUV virtually devoid of camo, giving us our clearest look yet at what the eventual mid-cycle work will do to the strong-selling Cayenne.
The overall changes do, indeed, look minor, with a reprofiled intake being the most obvious item. The headlights are still covered, so we don't know what kind of jeweling has been done, but the shape does appear identical to the current model. Overall, the changes appear totally in line with a mid-cycle refresh.
As we explained previously, a plug-in Cayenne is on the way. It will join a crop of engines that is likely to be similar to what's on offer today, with naturally aspirated, turbocharged, hybrid and diesel variants released over time.

Jay Leno plugs himself into Porsche's 918 Spyder

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

As one of the greatest sports car manufacturers of all time, when Porsche puts out a new, ultra-exclusive hypercar, enthusiasts tend to stand up and take note. Jay Leno is no exception, and now, the funnyman is finally getting his time with awesome 918 Spyder.
With his 1963 Porsche 356 and his 2005 Carrera GT flanking a Liquid Silver 918, Leno takes us through the basics of this plug-in hybrid roadster alongside Daniel Eastman of Porsche North America. Following the chat, Leno and Eastman take the German-plated car through the streets of California, testing it in a number of modes and even going on a short, all-electric freeway cruise.
If you're looking to learn more about the 918, or to just here its glorious gas engine at work, you'll want to scroll down and take a look at the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage.
