This 993 originally came with the base 16” wheels, which we believe were replaced with the 17” Sport Classic Porsche by BBS wheels by the selling dealer when new.
The first owner was Bill Anderson of Savannah, Georgia. This was one of the first 993s delivered to the U.S. as production for the North America-designated 993s started in January of 1994. Bill kept this 993 for over 23 years and 33k miles. It was primarily a weekend cruiser and used to travel occasionally on vacation to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Full vehicle inspection
This 993 is in excellent survivor condition and clearly well-cared for, never abused, and always garaged. The exterior looks fresh with minimal signs of wear. Most of the paint is original and verified with a paint meter. The hood was repainted many years ago and blended into the right front fender. Visually, the color match is perfect and there’s no perceivable difference. There are no signs of anything significant, but it was probably done to remedy normal road chips. The left rear fender has had a small area of touch-up and blending probably due to a superficial scratch. Visually, there is no difference and only noticed via paint meter readings. Overall, there are hardly any signs of use on the exterior. The rear bumper has a couple of small scratches probably due to a garage door closing. The body gaps are excellent and the doors close with that signature “ping.” The doorstays are in good shape with no snapping noise. The glass is near perfect with no major scratches or chips. The windshield was replaced in April of 2022 due to a rock chip, light rash, and the typical 993 windshield squeaking issue. The 17” Sport Classic factory wheels are in good shape with no major curb rash. They are wearing Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The rears were installed in 2022 and have 75% life remaining while the fronts were installed in 2017 and have between a third and half life left. The brake pads appear to have around 50% to 75% life remaining with a slight lip on the rotors.
The interior is equally as pristine and certainly showcases the pampered life this 993 has led. The leather seats are some of the best original examples I’ve seen with hardly any signs of wear. There are no tears or rips and barely any wrinkling of the leather on the exit bolsters. Of course, the rear seats look unused. The headliner has no tears or staining and the sunroof panel looks perfect. The headliner lights both works. The door panels have none of the common door pocket warping and look perfect. The carpet also looks nearly new with no heavy wear marks or stains. The floormats appear to be new and fit nicely with the proper factory-securing screws. The dash has no cracks or warping. All the gauges, including the clock, work properly. The A/C system has been refurbished and blows very cold. The original Becker radio has been serviced and updated with Bluetooth capabilities via the CD changer control. It works seamlessly. With the upgraded speakers hidden behind the factory screens, the sound is surprisingly good. The power windows, mirrors, sunroof, and seat controls all work properly as does the cruise control.
