Finished in Grand Prix White over a Marble Grey partial leather interior, this 1996 Porsche 993 Carrera Cabriolet is equipped with an optional Tiptronic shiftable-automatic gearbox paired with its air-cooled 3.6-liter engine. It was also selected with the HiFi Sound Package, Power Seat Package, 17” Cup 2 wheels, and more. Initially purchased on August 15, 1996, this example reached its second owner on November 26, 2012, who cared for and stored the vehicle until the seller’s acquisition in February 2024. This Carrera is now being offered for auction out of Massachusetts with under 33k miles showing on the odometer.
This 993 is finished in Grand Prix White with a black convertible soft top and rides on optional 17” Cup 2 wheels with colored Porsche center crests and new tires. Other equipment includes front fog lights, black brake calipers with white Porsche lettering, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and a “basket handle” spoiler with an integrated third brake light. The seller notes slight yellowing in the paint protection film ahead of the rear fenders. The seller adds that a local Porsche dealership installed two new roof motors. The seller attests to the originality of the paint, and detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin presents Marble Grey partial leather upholstery and features the Power Seat Package along with the HiFi Sound Package including an amplifier. Standard equipment includes power windows and door locks, automatic climate control, cruise control, an onboard computer, and a headlight cleaning system.
An air-cooled 3.6-liter flat-six engine delivers up to 282 HP to the rear wheels by way of a 5-speed Tiptronic gearbox with automatic and shiftable drive modes. Stopping power is provided by fixed 4-piston brake calipers with ventilated and cross-drilled discs. The seller confirms there are no outstanding maintenance items.
This sale will include a clean title and the owner's manual.
The seller would like you to know: “This 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera convertible is a rare gem, with only 32,450 original miles, two dedicated owners, and no paintwork. Other than routine detailing, it has never been exposed to moisture and has been consistently garaged. Initially located in Florida for 16 years, it has been in Massachusetts with the current owner for the past 11.5 years. Finished in Grand Prix White over Marble Gray/Black leather, this 911 is powered by a 3.6-liter SOHC EFI aluminum alloy air-cooled 6-cylinder engine, paired with a Tiptronic transmission and a hydraulically activated single-disc dry clutch, producing 282 HP. Equipment includes a black soft top with two newly installed electric motors by the dealer, power-adjustable front seats, 17” 5-spoke wheels with Porsche Crest Rim Caps, new Continental Tires (205/50ZR17 front, 255/40 ZR17 rear), anti-lock braking system, and a sound package with amplifier. Additional features are the Technic Package, power windows, and cruise control. The paint protection film in front of the rear tires shows minor signs of aging and the driver's door check is broken. The door works fine it is just the check and the vehicle comes with a new check. The car offers 15 city and 22 highway MPG. The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation, including a central tachometer with a 6,800-rpm redline, a 180-mph speedometer, and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, oil level, and fuel level. This 911 comes with a clean Carfax report and a Massachusetts title. Additional video is available upon request.”

Good morning and it has had regular oil changes. They were just done at our facility which does not release service records to CarFax. Happy to provide our records of all services completed.
There is not a service record that shows an oil and filter change. Did I miss something?

Yes we have the records and please see the picture of the window sticker, 2nd bullet under "Mechanical" says ""Hydraulically Activated Single-Disc dry clutch"
Any maintenance records for the 10k+ miles shown on the car fax? Also my Porsche machanic never heard of a dry clutch in a tiptronic transmission mentioned in the writeup?

Hi and I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to provide some context as to why I am unfortunately selling this beloved 1996 Porsche 993 Carrera Cabriolet.
This car has been cherished and while not driven much, when it was, it has brought immense joy and memories over the years. However, the decision to part with it is driven by a significant change in circumstances.
My business partner, who has primarily been the benefactor of the enjoyment of this vehicle, has recently been diagnosed with Macular Degeneration. As this condition has progressed, it has become clear that he can no longer safely drive. Given his close connection to the car it has become a sad reminder to him, of warm day drives that he will never again, be able to enjoy, so we have decided that it is best to find a new home for the Porsche.
This car is in excellent condition and has been meticulously maintained. It is more than just a vehicle; it is a piece of automotive history and a source of great pride for any collector or enthusiast.
Thank you for considering giving this exceptional car a new home where it will be appreciated and enjoyed as much as it has been by us.
Best regards,
Jay
@MstBFst Good Morning and installed and balanced, four new Continental tires 1,439 miles ago. Two, 205 / 50R117W and two, 255 / 40R17W. Also did four TPMS valves and an alignment. Have not flushed the brakes and the last oil change was Spring of 2023, about 200 miles ago. Would you like video's of this Porsche?
@h993_cab4 Good Morning and I have the convertible top boot but no bag. Also, don't think there ever was a windscreen. Would you like video's of this Porsche?
Date codes on tires? Last brake flush and oil change service record?
Do you have the convertible top boot, windscreen and the boot bag?
