Baltic Blue with Linen interior. Im the third owner. Bought this car over ten years ago with only 50k miles in California. We have since moved to and actually drove across country in this car to the east coast. All maintenance records since Ive owned and there was evidence of previous owners maintenance when I bought it.
Timing belt/water pump changed 4/2011 at 106k miles. New tires 10/2011 at 107k miles.
It has shared daily driving duty with my motorcycle and has always been very road worthy. Exterior and interior are not perfect, AC does not work, but car runs and drives well. Has not let me down. Top and rear window in great shape. Clean carfax that I can email. Manuals, leather bra, and sunshade. Pre Purchase Inspections welcomed.
Selling because after a few years of searching have finally bought a 993
Not enough garage space for both

Yes, thats my car. I have posted it in a few different spots. Ebay has a sell it local option that is free.
Ive surprisingly gotten a good amount of responses so let me go into more detail on what I mentioned is not perfect. Im also loading more photos to Flickr to share.
The AC slowly started getting warmer and warmer over a months time so I stopped using it. Didnt want to burn out the compressor if it was losing the refrigerant that keeps it oiled. It was late fall and then we moved in the spring. Up here in the northeast Ive done without it. That was three years ago. Nothing cools the cabin quicker than dropping the top, but this year there has been some hot days where if it worked I would have used it. All components are intact.
The paint is not original. Previous owner had car painted. PPI I had didnt find any evidence of accident damage. Ive since had front clip repainted because of rock chips. There have been rock chips added since and there are some small scratches all around the car. I have a leather bra I use when going on suspect trips but these cars seem to get a lot of rock chips.
Linen interior shows all flaws. There are small stains here and there. The dash has cracks. The driver side seat outside bolsters has a good amount of wear. The passenger side seat has a seam thats a little torn.
Convertible top including rear window was replaced back in 2005. Still in great shape. Top operation I say is unknown. It worked that last time I took it out of manual mode. I have not tried it in over a year, and Id rather not try. Manual mode is faster/better and I dont want to tempt breaking something. I think most keep theirs in manual mode.
I tend to always get an alignment done whenever I get a new set of tires. But before doing that I freshened up the front end by replacing the ball bearings, control arm bushings and ball joints. All done 11/2011.
The brake pads have about 1/3 life left. Rotors will need replacing when pads are done.
Looking through the clutch inspection port theres plenty of life left. It hasnt really moved since I bought the car. The throw-out bearing has always been on the noisy side though.
Theres a little oil seepage on the oil thermostat housing cap. Does not produce enough to make a spot on garage floor. There was also one on the oil level sensor but I replace the gasket and it has seemed to stop.
When the timing belt was last replaced (4/2011) the cam chain pads were also replaced. A full tune-up with new plugs and filters was also done.
The radio speakers are not in good shape and when car is turned off a pop is heard through them. Havent been able to track that down.
Reading back all these negatives I think Im doing a bit of an injustice to the car. It runs great and I get a lot of complements. But it is a 22 year old car that is a daily driver used year round. Ive documented everything Ive done to the car the last 10 years including every time it gets filled up with gas. PPIs are welcomed.
Ill be updating my other posts with this added info.
Thanks
Dan
