https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...8453/overview/

'96 C4S
Arena Red / Gray with Factory Aerokit
93k miles, $67k
Looks pretty stock other than suspension and the 996 Turbo Twist wheels
Very strange placement of Carrera 4S script, maybe even the wrong script?

Jesus wept!! That's terrible news! Great car. Beautiful to drive. Silky smooth. If I had two spaces I'd pick it up in a heartbeat.

What do you guys suppose this car is worth? It's a consignment car (so two people are trying to make money) and it's been on Craigslist/eBay/etc for almost a month now. Carfax shows 10 owners(!), no accidents, consignment company claims owner has all records. Has the new Porsche Classic Nav head unit.

Placement of the Script is incorrect and also appears to be an "After Market Turbo S Spoiler." Sits too high up. Should be stamped Porsche and the 993.xxx.xxx on the underside. Porsche from the factory never put the script in that location.

This car is quite rare, having the optional double overhead cam engine, 24 valves no less. I feel like a loser as my 97 Carrera only has one cam per bank. See https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/...314169433.html

Rare bird indeed.

24 valves, I guess "they" solved the intake and exhaust puzzle for more HP/Torque?

Overhead cam, only overhead, one at a time, when car rolls onto each side... so roll over damage?

100K mile 1995 NB 993 sold for $45k plus 5% Buyer's vig on BaT.


https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...11-carrera-12/


Seems like all the money to me, given the miles, condition and time of year.

From the comments it looks like this one is going home to Germany.

Just purchased polar silver 160k miles for 27k, nice condition. No motor work yet but compression good. I think it was a good deal.

Someone should start a google doc to aggregate data, going through the thread is tedious.

Sounds like a great deal. What part of the country, and was it priced that low or did you haggle it? Nothing in LA comes close to that by at least 15k
