Description:
1997 993, last of the air cooled, Carrera 4S Manual, Guards Red over black interior.
Very rare bird. Not sure there are many cars like this one anywhere, and I know I'll regret selling it but I need to make some room...
I bought this in August of 2019 from a local SF Bay Area Porsche dealership where the original and only owner bought it new in 1997, had it serviced since then and had just traded it in. It had just shy of 16K miles at the time of purchase and I've barely driven it except a handful of times around town...basically a one owner California car with no stories in jaw-droppingly pristine, babied, almost new, completely stock condition. Also has some rare options like factory specced carbon fiber steering wheel, shifter and ebrake handle plus the highly desirable hardback sport seats. Looks and drives perfect, clean Carfax (no accidents, mods, etc.). Serious inquiries only and not interested in trades. Title in hand.

This price seems too low! I'll have to find the ref but I believe I just saw a data point C4S 60 k miles for $135K

Looks like pics from dealership showroom floor. Were these pics taken in 2019 when you bought it? If so, any current ones?

Buyer here. I looked a long time, but had difficulty finding a quality, low mileage 993 in Northern California. I was always hesitant to buy a 993 without having eyes on the car, and was thrilled when zroom’s C4S popped up. zroom was very accommodating and arranged for me to see the car on short notice. I saw the car, did a visual inspection, took paint meter readings, and then went for a fun drive. The car is exactly as zroom described. It’s simply amazing to see and drive. It’s now in my garage, waiting for some fun weekend drives. I offer a sincere thank you to zroom for such an easy and honest transaction! Great seller and a great car.

I get why the guy sold it. Here's the thing. It was a super nice car, but we often have other things we need to do, and keeping space tied up, insurance and maintenance, and no time to drive sucks sometimes. I have come to the same conclusion. I just sold a 1997 Carrera C2 to a guy in Texas on Friday. It was a nice car. Excellent driver but it had a salvage title. It went pretty fast for asking price. I love that red 993.
