FS: 1995 993 C2 6 spd Coupe
After three great years, I am moving on to my third 911 and trying to find a good home for my 993. Here are the details:
Basic Info:
• 6spd coupe
• Red on tan
• 100k miles
• All records, Dealer maintained
• 18” twist wheels
• Factory limited slip option
• Early production code M718 (2/94 production date)
• Fister Stage III mufflers
• Alpine CD player w/ipod cord (original tape deck included)
• OEM tool kit and car cover
• Vin: WP0AA2990SS320621
History:
First owner, a retired pilot, owned from 1994-2010 in Florida and meticulously maintained the car by his local Porsche dealer with a stack of documentation up to 91k miles, including the 90k mile service. While he owned it, it was in two fender benders: an atv hit the front corner leading to a new fender and bumper repaint, and his wife put a 4” light dent in the rear fender backing out of the garage. At just over 60k miles, the speedometer broke (which is also the odometer). This was replaced at Porsche and has detailed records showing when this happened. I have the original speed still showing the mileage when removed, but as a result, actual mileage is the old one plus the new one (currently reading 39k). In 2010 at near age 70, he sold this to me and bought a 2010 C2S.
At purchase the car was in good mechanical condition having just gone through the 90k service, but the paint was faded beyond repair along with the tail lights. Since owning, I have done the following:
• Repaint: Full panel and glass off exterior repaint by Porsche forums recommended Brian Tocke – a fairly local high end painter/restorer. The car received full paintless dent removal included on the rear fender prior to paint. Have before, during and after documented with pictures. Replaced many of the body and window seals at this time
• Replaced clutch master and slave, main cooling fan assembly, lower valve cover gaskets and various trim pieces and switches
• Installed new speakers an head unit (still have OEM unit)
• Sold 16” wheels, replaced with 18” twists
• New tail lights (new center not pictured)
Condition: Overall the car in in very good shape, but not perfect
• Exterior: Freshly painted in 2010. Overall in very good shape with only very minor defects (small chips, surface scratches)
• Interior: Interior is best described as very good for 100k miles. Its not perfect, but certainly above average with no cracks or rips. Has year old new OEM floor mats.
• Mechanical: Drives great with no known defects except a minor puff of smoke on start ups after sitting for more than a couple days. Buyer is welcome to have a PPI done at any local specialist. Have extensive records to show all maintenance to date
Price: Absolutely firm at 26,800.

Thanks! Already found a replacement a bit sooner than expected. Going water cooled for a bit with a 2005 Carrera S. Will likely revert back to something like a '71 eventually or maybe even another 993, but trying a little bit of everything.

Little added context and info. I priced it for what I believe is very reasonable AND not negotiable regardless of imperfections. One could probably find more original cars even at this price (correct odometer, no paint, no accidents), but probably not near this condition. Its not perfect, but it is a fantastic driver that looks better than most. If I were keeping it, I would have probably started sorting out the suspension a bit as while there is nothing wrong, it could be tightened up. I definitely would have put sportier tires on it as these are not the most aggressive. That said, for three years, it has always fired right up and worked perfectly.
