as far as worth goes, that will vary depending on history, miles, transmission, coupe or cab, etc. I'm sure there are a lot of small differences from 95 to the others but the bigger ones are that the 95 has like 15hp less, no varioram, has the basket handle, and no immobilizer. I'm sure others will chime in but those are a few difference. Love my 95!!!!

A significant difference is that the 95 has OBD-I, which does not trigger a CEL warning light nor any fault codes when the SAI ports become clogged. All later 993 have OBD-II, which does trigger a CEL when SAI problems arise. Do a search on this forum for "SAI" for more details.

First of the last
95's are a tiny bit cheaper, all things being equal. If you notice any less zip get a new chip and an exhaust mod. That's what I did, and my car puts a smile on my face each and every day.

i researched this in deciding on my 993
key points:
95 has obd1 not 2, easier for smog testing, fewer problems with SAI if it happens
95 does not have variocam feature on engine - it adds some power but also weight and complexity - each has proponents, but german tests say they are a wash performance wise and of course the car without the add'l system has one less thing that will break
95 does not have remote key locking - once again simpler system
95 has basket handle...just cosmetic
later years of course added model variants - wide body, cab, turbo... 95 was simpler narrow body
my conclusion was IF you can find a clean 95 and want a narrow body car, it is preferable over a later year car, all other things equal (but at their age, things are rarely equal...)
narrow body 2 wheel drive cars are lightest and go the best, wide butt cars look cooler and 4wd cars give more bad weather grip but at significant weight penalty
hope this helps
