I own the Blue Turquoise 911 cabriolet convertible with manual transmission. I am the only owner and she has 33,000 miles on her. I do own 3 cars and in my life with her had 5 cars. I lived 15 years in a mountain ski town in California, she stayed in the garage on a charger most of the time. I did drive her from Mammoth Lakes via hwy 120 through the Sierra mountains 2 times and loved how she handles, as I could take those mountain curves, via Yosemite, so well without using the brakes. She handles perfectly. I like her nice simple style way better than the new 2 seater Porsches. I have people ask to buy her, but she is so perfect, I can’t let her go. I want to keep the low milage, but do drive her every 2 weeks for about 15 miles. I do have a 2018 Executive turbo Panamera, I drive her 2 twice a week , to dinners, to meet friends. But my work car is a 2005 Hummer. I never see another of those. Low milage on all my cars. As for the 1997 993, well she stays with me until the DMV takes away my license. Very good value, she has never had a mechanical problem. How many cars last so long? Yes she is nice and fast too. I love it when I run into a mini race with another driver, as I win every time Mar 06, 2024

One of the most collectible Porsche 911 cars you can buy (993)! Best and last of the air cooled 911 Models. They are expensive and will get more so. If you are fortunate enough to drive one you will quickly see why they are valued as they are.May 23, 2020

With 272 horse power this car can still hold it's self to the new boy, and with less tech this is one of the lightest base 911's ever. With looks that the 997 is trying to have but can't get a grasp on the 993 is not a car you have to drive but just look at it. The 993 generation was the most important gen of all the 911's, it was the first to have a bi- turbo, four wheel drive turbo, gt2 model, and much more. If you buy a 993 it will cost more that a newer faster 996, but the 996 was ugly and did not have the feel at the wheel the 993 had or the optional radar detector that you could get under the dash. For many reasons I would go for the 993 rather then the 996 over even 997.Apr 02, 2010
