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!

2014 Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition is the ace of base

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

If there's one automaker that certainly doesn't skimp on the special edition models, it's Porsche, and here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, we're getting our first look at yet another unique take on one of the company's most popular models. It's called the Cayenne Platinum Edition, and while many special models build off of higher-trim vehicles, this one adds a bit of flair to the most basic version of the luxury SUV.
The Platinum Edition is available on Cayennes with the base 3.6-liter V6 or the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. Platinum models are set apart from other models with the addition of silver exterior accents on the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler, as well as the two-tone, black-and-beige interior scheme. It also comes standard with the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, the Convenience Package and Bose audio.
The cost of entry? $63,000 for the naturally aspirated Cayenne or $66,900 for the diesel. That's a full $13,000 more than the base model, but Porsche says it's actually a bargain as opposed to selecting all of those options individually. Have a look below for Porsche's official release.

Robb Report chooses Porsche 911 as its Car of the Year

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Robb Report has picked the seventh-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S as its 2013 Car of the Year, saying the two-door captivated its judges with "agility, driving dynamics and balance." The German coupe bested 12 others who were also in the running - the impressive list of nominees included the BMW M5, Audi S8, Ferrari FF, Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.
Judging involved more than just throwing darts at pictures on the wall, as the publication enlisted a panel of automotive experts to test drive each vehicle for close evaluation. The panelists included 100 members of the Robb Report Club (comprised of top corporate executives and influential readers), Editor-in-Chief Brett Anderson and automotive consultant Robert Ross. Full results of the competition will be revealed in the luxury magazine's March issue, hitting newsstands in about a week.

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.
