Manufactured in January of 1996, this incredibly early-production Turbo reportedly remained in the care of the dealer principle of its original selling dealer from 1996-1998, at which point it was sold to a Toronto businessman and PCA member with approximately ~30k km in the Spring of 1998. He kept the car for 12 years, adding another 50k km before selling to its next caretaker (the current owner) with ~80k km in July of 2010. The current owner has accumulated less than 16k km in the past ~15 years of ownership. Never winter driven, never in an accident, pride of ownership clearly evident.
In preparation for sale, this 993 has undergone a major engine out service/reseal to reset its maintenance interval for the next owner. Over $25k has been invested to ensure this car is ready to be enjoyed, including 4 brand new Michelin tires, new clutch, new fluids, a top-end engine reseal, an alignment, and a new battery. The car is believed to retain entirely original paint, aside from the front fascia which was refinished by Porsche to address stone chips (documented) earlier in the cars life. We have paint metered the entire vehicle, with all panels showing readings consistent with original paint aside from the front fascia (readings viewable in the gallery).
The car is believed to remain in unmodified condition aside from an upgraded exhaust system (original included). Exterior wear is limited to some curb rash on one rim, and some minor road rash / chips / scuffs in a few vulnerable areas. Interior wear is limited to very minor seat bolster wear – otherwise the interior presents in near-new condition with a great 993 leather smell.
Included with the sale: both keys, original owners manual, original maintenance booklet, a binder containing many service records, original tool kit, jack, compressor, original exhaust, a valid Ontario safety certificate (for Ontario buyers) and a clean Carfax report. Leasing available, trade-ins considered. Enclosed transport available nationwide. All vehicles remain available for purchase until a deposit and signed purchase agreement have been submitted.
