1-owner 1995 Porsche 993 Carrera 4 for sale. Vin: WP0AA2998SS322021

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!

Porsche (finally) unleashes full, official details on 918 Spyder

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

Porsche has finally let released all of the details on the 918 Spyder, the German brand's challenger to the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari, after months of leading our poor, performance-loving hearts on. The covers were lifted at the Volkswagen Group night, an enormous precursor to the Frankfurt Motor Show, and include a massive, 11,000-word press release that's attached at the bottom of this page.
The 918 Spyder features a mid-mounted, dry-sump-lubricated, 4.6-liter V8 engine that generates 608 horsepower when left to its own devices. Combined with a trio of electric motors, which produce 286 hp, the total system horsepower for the 918 Spyder rests at 887 ponies. That's less than the McLaren P1 (903 hp) and the LaFerrari (949 hp), but the Porsche is also likely to be a bit cheaper, starting at $845,000, while the McLaren will be in the seven-figure range for certain, and it will more than likely be joined by the LaFezza.
The 918 Spyder counters with a 2.8-second jog to 62, a 7.7-second run to 124 and it will hit 186 in 22 seconds.

Overnight action from the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sun, 23 Jun 2013

We won't go into a recap here, but there are still leading positions being fought for in all classes - it's so close that leads are changing when a car goes into the pits. We'll let the recap wait until the end of the race, so for now enjoy some shots from last night's action at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Audi outlasts rivals to win 13th Le Mans title

Sun, 15 Jun 2014

As is so often the case, the 2014 Le Mans was a war of attrition, and Audi managed to prevail once again after all 24 hours had been recorded in the history books, with its Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro claiming first and second places, followed by Toyota in third. Drivers Marcel Fassler, Andre Lotterer and Benoit Treluyer inherited the lead in their No. 2 Audi after the No. 7 Toyota, driven by pole-sitter Kazuki Nakajima, was forced to retire with electrical problems in the 15th hour.
The No. 2 Audi led the race until it was forced to the pits to replace a turbocharger in the 17th hour, allowing the No. 1 Audi, driven by Lucas di Grassi, Marc Gene (who was a last-minute replacement for Loic Duval, who crashed hard during practice) and defending champion Tom Kristensen, led the race until the 21st hour, when it too had to pit with turbocharger issues. This gave the No. 20 Porsche of Timo Bernhard, Brendon Hartley, and Mark Webber the lead until it was forced off the track with gearbox problems, eventually finishing in 38th position.
In LMP2, the Jota Sport Zytek Z11SN-Nissan driven by Simon Dolan, Harry Tincknell and Oliver Turvey claimed victory, the first five LMP2 finishers all powered by Nissan. Down a level in GTE-Pro, No. 51 AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 driven by Gianmaria Bruni, Toni Vilander and Giancarlo Fisichella finished one lap ahead of the leading Corvette Racing C7.R. And finally, the No. 95 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GTE driven by Kristian Poulsen, David HeinemeierHansson and Nicki Thiim won the GTE-Am race two laps ahead of a Proton Porsche 911 GT3 RSR.
