Selling my ‘96 993 Carrera with 43k mi on it. Guards red/ Cashmere. Motorsound. Car is in great condition. I’ve owned since 2016 and put around 4K mi on since. Purchased from Holt Motorsports. I have all records since 2008. Clean Carfax. I’m the 3rd owner.
-New clutch at 39k mi. -Major service less then a year ago - oil, caps, rotors, plugs, belts, alternator belt sensor, fuel, air and cabin filters. Cleaned ISV and MAF.
Left driver side rear fender was been painted prior to my ownership but no accident damage that I’m aware of. Otherwise, the car is original paint.
Since I’ve owned the cars I’ve done the following upgrades: Interior: OEM Softback Sport Seats redone by Waldemar Custom 996 3-Spoke Steering Wheel, thumb rests removed and wheel thickened by CarDreams Audio - Alpine CDE-HD149BT, Morel Virtus 602s, Genesis Profile Two Ultra Amp

Issues: -some minor sweating at timing chainbox covers. -only thing i haven't done is pads and rotors so i'm sure they'll need replacing over the next 10k mi or so (just a guess).
Oh the irony. If this was a 964 with exact specs at your asking, your in box would be overflowing. The 993; not so much I suspect. “The market is the market.”
And this is the much better car. So much more satisfying to drive than a 964 c4.

I guess the 993 has lost its place as the last and best iteration of the air cooled 911. Who would’ve thought it?
A gorgeous car and a great color combo. Love the GR and cashmere. Good luck with the sale. Worth every penny.
I sent this amazing car to a friend and he’s dead set to pay up for a 964 that will still need sorting. All that classic 911 look, feel and aura. I told him he was stupid.

Funny. As most of you probably know, I just purchased a 993. During my search, I discovered the entire "singer phenom" and briefly contemplated going the 964 route. I drove three different 964's, two that were for sale and one that was owned by the friend of a friend. I can tell you that to my butt the 993 is a MUCH better drive. Now I'm sure the singers are different animals, but the pedestrian 964 feels VERY old. More raw...., yes, but the gearbox and handling seems archaic compared to the 993.
My 993 seems like a good starting place. I'm probably keeping mine mostly stock, but a more aggressive exhaust and sport suspension is def in the cards. This season though I'm just content to try to get it sorted cosmetically and drive it a bit.
