Originally sold from Northland Porsche of Cincinnati, Ohio, this 1996 Porsche 993 Carrera Coupe came finished in Guards Red over a Cashmere Beige and Black interior, optioned with the Power Seat Package and 17” Cup 2 wheels. The car was cared for by two prior owners, the latter of whom acquired the car in 2016 at just 18k miles. Beautifully preserved and with under 20k miles showing on the odometer, this 993 Carrera is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Pennsylvania.
This Coupe was ordered in Guards Red with optional 17" Cup 2 wheels and colored Porsche center crests. The car currently rides on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport N3 tires from 2015. Other equipment includes an extendable rear spoiler, integrated front fog lights, and dual exhaust outlets. The exterior is described to have been kept in excellent cosmetic condition apart from a few scratches on the passenger-side wheels and some very small stone chips on the front end. The paint meter shows slightly higher readings on the hood, additional images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The Cashmere Beige and Black partial leather interior comes equipped with optional power-operated front seats. Standard features include power side mirrors and windows, an electric sunroof, remote central locking system, cruise control, heating, climate control, and a 6-speaker stereo system. The original Porsche CR-210 radio has been retained.
The air-cooled 3.6L flat-six engine produces as much as 272 HP and drives the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. Factory performance features include power steering, vented disc brakes with ABS-5, and toe-correcting rear suspension with stabilizer bars front and rear. Per the seller, standard routine maintenance has been kept up to date including oil and filter changes.
This sale will include the original window sticker, a set of two keys, a toolkit, an air pump, and a clean title.

@aic225 Typically, non S and 4S 993s are considered narrow body. But as photo #9 reveals, it's only "narrow" in relation to a widebody (S or 4S or Turbo). In fact, there is little "narrow" about it...but it's the name on a relative basis. I believe all 993s are incredibly sexy sports cars.
@Archer1 @Archer1- Never heard that term applied to a 993, since many considered them a wide body compared to the earlier 911's. No one has suggested this car is a wide body 993 or turbo which was 6cm wider.

@avonwaldow- Correct, this one is a narrow body.
What a beauty!
Greetings: This car does not have the wide Turbo rear fenders, correct? Thanks very much.

Through the contact seller button, I received a few questions...Below, are the answers for everyone:
1. The Michelin Pilot tires were made very late in 2015, and installed in early 2016 by the selling dealer. Presently they measure 10/32, show no sign so ageing, and run out quiet and smooth.
2. The tech measured the brakes 10B and 9B during his safety inspection just performed.
3. In preparation for sale, the tech replaced all 4 hood shocks, the reverse light switch, and changed the oil.
4. He also completed a satisfactory Emissions Certification.
5. The A/C system was checked, and works well.
Everything on this car functions exactly as it should, on a 19k. mile car...No surprises here.
Not only did the 1996 have more bhp, but it was the first year of the varioram. I had a '95 and '96. The varioram seem to help the 993 a lot while you were in the lower rpm range.
@rbw993- Good catch, I'm not sure where the P-Car writer got that number...You are correct, all 96-98 cars were 282hp.

I had a 1995 993 and it had 270 HP. The 1996 - 1998 had 282 HP. Just an OCD point of accuracy. Love the car.
Welcome everyone! I appreciate your interest in this magnificent 993 Carrera coupe. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Thank You, and enjoy the auction!
