Midnight blue is such a great color on a 993! A few questions. The plug for the tow loop is missing but from the front view, it appears the threads for the tow loop are not lined up correctly or is that simply a bad angle? Can you thread the tow loop in without hitting the plastic? Also can you take pics of both door check straps?

One last question. Can you take a pic tomorrow of the power controls on the side of the seats. Looks like you have the comfort seat option when I reviewed the options attached to the vin number. Thx
@Spinway57 not that I can tell. Looks stock
Has the car been lowered? Any modifications or changes to the exhaust?
Thank you
@Foxtrot yes it does
Can you add more pictures of the seats and dash pad? For the seats, please add the front seat entry points (driver side bolster to seat bottom and side seat bottom at the front edge). The usual wear points.
@nvalverde927 Thanks but don't see them (engine and wheel wells/suspension), assume they will be uploaded? Many thanks, beautiful car.

@Seller Does the AC blow (relatively) cold?

Any chance you can post underside pics of the wheel wells and/or motor? Just want to see levels of surface corrosion, if any. Thank you!
@nvalverde927 Thank you.
@CaymanS987 I did not remove them so it was done before I purchased it. I do not believe there was any paint work done to the car.
@Arffbubba if you view the video and the last picture there are no lights on minus the gas light.
Hi, I wouldn’t expect to see check engine light illuminated as shown while engine running. My bad or are there present codes lit up? Has the SAI system been serviced/modded/cleaned recently? Thank you. Keith

@nvalverde927 Hello, I noticed from the pictures that the stone guards appear to be missing on both sides. Do you know when they were removed? Was there at any point paint work was done on this car? Thank you.
@nvalverde927 spare*
@VenerableLuxP Just uploaded driving vids and pictures of the frunk with the space out. As you can see its 100% rust free.
Any update on the driving vids?

@Foxtrot no I purchased the car in 2020. Not sure exactly how many miles but 50-100. Car was barely driven and hasn’t left my garage.
@Seller Again, just to clarify; you have owned the car since 2005 and have put how many miles on it since that time - or how many miles did it have when you purchased the car?
@Foxtrot Unfortunately I don’t have any documentation prior to my ownership. I will be posting a video later shifting through the gears and driving and all I can tell you is that the car runs and drives very well, has zero leaks, and have never had any issues with it.
@Seller Is it believed that the engine has 106k miles and has not had major service (top end, rebuild, etc.) performed?
Also paint meter readings would help with what panels have been repainted if any.
Since there aren't really any detailed records of the types of engine service, any kind of leak down and compression numbers would help clarify the health of the engine.
A 1996 993 is has 282hp because of its variable intake. It is also an OBD2 engine that throws the check engine light which can be problematic to repair. Could you show 1. Close up photos of the intersection of window/seal/body at the the bottom corners of both the windshield and rear window. 2. Remove the spare and take photos of exposed body sheet metal. It is unusual to see a cashmere interior and gray carpet in the frunk. Very nice looking car from what we can see.
@BlueDevils00 I don’t have a lift but I’ll see what I can do with pictures. No visible rust on the car
@BlueDevils00 nothing at all. I’ve kept it in my garage since I bought it, probably put less than 50 miles on it
@trentguthrie no drips or leaks. Car is dry
Hi - any evidence of leaks or drips of oil?
Also given 15 years in Michigan can you provide a full set of under body pics and point out any areas of rust at all with the car.
The last service record on the car fax is from 2020. Has anything been done over the past couple years? Driving video please.
