This 1995 Porsche 993 Carrera Cabriolet represents the final generation of the air-cooled 911 and is finished in Black over a matching interior.

Additionally, an aftermarket Continental radio was fitted under previous ownership.
The 993 Carrera Cabriolet is powered by a 3.6-liter flat-six engine that produces up to 272 HP and 243 lb.-ft. of torque, sent to the rear wheels by way of a 6-speed manual transmission.

How many key fobs?
Am I missing something here? This is a steal at this price!
Bid in the amount of $35,000
@celotola yes HVAC fully functional - can probably do for a seasonal recharge in the spring.
can you confirm the HVAC works as intended? AC blows cold? lots of little servos in there...
I don't believe this was an actual issue re seals - there is no leaking found currently/prior to ownership. I've read that this sort of leak can be caused by a bit of oil over fill. Like I mentioned though, as it stands from most recent oil change, we have no evidence of any leaks from the car.
When the car was at TKX and had the major work done it say in caps, Timing Belt Housing is Leaking. Was it ever fixed?

What is the maintenance budget for these 993s ? I think the 95 model would be a little more economical than my 98@
Bid in the amount of $30,243
@arokhsar - True that. I've got a '97 cab 6sp, and I'm regularly amazed at how it still drives, shifts, brakes, sounds, and feels just like a brand new car. These things are bulletproof, easy to maintain, and a joy to drive. Cheers to whoever gets it.
@arokhsar I definitely don’t disagree. Underrated 911s
Best air cooled Cabriolet ever made.
Bid in the amount of $29,993

Hey all! Justin checking in here, want to give a brief intro to myself - I am an NYC/Westchester based P car enthusiast with a few cars in the family so far, from 997s to 991s to recently a 986 Boxster. I have taken care of and enjoyed this car for a little over a year, and am here to answer any questions you might have.
@IslaTurbine Hi, I will upload a pic of the crack, very small next to the Left Exhaust, just wanted to mention for transparency. Yes the car is a great driver, I will also be adding a few clips of cold start, summer top down driving, and brief top up driving.
The engine has no leaks as far as I can notice - wetness underneath or in the garage where it stays, I will add some photos there. Paint metering - no evidence of respray/work, will add some of the readings before my ownership - which range from 3.5 > 5.5 across panels.
Seller,
Looks to be a lovely driver.
Could you point out which pics show the crack in the rear bumper? I’m struggling to see it.
Does the engine show any signs of dripping on the ground or have any wetness on the engine itself?
Has the car had any paintwork done and/or do you have any paint meter readings?
Do you have any photos of the underside of the car?
