The owner/seller discussed that car here before:

https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum/443843-96-carrera-4s-polar-silver-21-400-miles-4-sale.html

Looks fantastic and I'm guessing it is exactly as described. He wants a lotta dough and that is about the only negative I can see.

He is looking for a 993 daily driver as partial trade. He only wanted $40k and my '96 C2 65k-mile stocker. I took a pass though~

The only negative I ever saw with owning a 96 C4S is the ECU that was unmodifiable, other than that it's as amazing as any 993 C4S.

Which compares nicely with the other thread Pong put up today. Since you can't really drive any of these cars to their potential on the street without risking your bank account, maybe some guys just want a three-dimensional piece of art. But then you're always hostage to any little thing. So then the attitude changes to "nice driver" where, like mine, it's got a trashed front bumper anyway.......just go drive it.

My Car, It's a great 993.

I'm not in advertising, Im a land developer in Phoenix Arizona. Im emotional about this car; sorry if it comes off cheesie in my ebay ad.

I bought the car in 2005 for $63,000 with 18,500 miles on it. I was looking at dealers like Truspeed and found this to be a great deal considering no dealer tax and the condition was flawless. After that I spent an EMBARRASSING amount of money to add the Porsche options I wanted and to remove the USDOT crap.


And yes, the Carrera 4S is the best car in the world; Not to mention Polar Silver cars are faster and built better.

The car is indeed beautiful, and tastefully done. Which is indeed the only reason I am seriously considering it.

Got your PM Bill and no I was not offended in any way by your trade offer for my C2 NB. Your gorgeous car is just out of my price range for what I'm looking for in a 993 WB.

Just keep toeing the line and someone will step up... cream always rises!
