15k-Mile 1996 Porsche 993 Carrera 4S 6-Speed

The Carrera 4S shares its wide fenders and bumper design with the 911 Turbo while retaining the standard Carrera’s speed-activated rear spoiler. Finished in Midnight Blue Metallic (L39C), this example features headlamp washers, integrated fog lights, power mirrors, an electric sunroof, dual exhaust outlets, red brake calipers, and 18” 911 Turbo Twist wheels with colored Porsche crest center caps. The car rides on four new Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires with new valve stems, installed in October 2024 at Porsche Burlingame. The seller notes the vehicle was recently detailed and that the paint remains in very good original condition, although it could benefit from paint correction. Both front and rear hood lift supports were replaced in December 2024, and new wiper blades have been installed. Additionally, the LED brake light strip operation has not been confirmed, although both main brake lights are working properly. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report in the documents tab.

The cabin is upholstered in Midnight Blue partial leather with matching carpets. Equipment includes optional 8-way power-adjustable front seats, a four-spoke leather steering wheel, power windows and door locks, automatic climate control, cruise control, and a Porsche CDR-210 stereo. The radio was serviced in December 2024, including the internal fuse replaced, code obtained, and it is now fully functional. Additionally, the AC system has been recently recharged and is blowing cold, while the heat system is also working properly. The seller states that the odometer gear failed at an unknown point during the car's dormant period and was professionally repaired in December 2024. The current reading of approximately 14,800 miles is consistent with the CARFAX mileage history across all three owners.

Factory-rated at 282 HP and 250 lb-ft of torque, the air-cooled 3.6-liter flat-six engine drives all four wheels through a 6-speed manual transaxle. The Carrera 4S shares its suspension architecture with the 911 Turbo, as well as “Big Red” 4-piston brake calipers and cross-drilled discs. The seller recommends performing a suspension refresh and highlights the following extensive service items, supported by records in the documents tab.

• Full major service: 12 spark plugs, air filter, pollen filter, both engine oil filters, transmission oil, front differential oil, 3 drive belts

• ABS hydraulic system serviced (solenoids, feed lines, reservoir replaced)

• Four new Pirelli P Zero Rosso N2 tires, new valve stems, 4-wheel alignment

• Odometer professionally repaired (gear had failed from age/disuse, now functioning correctly)

The CARFAX report shows three owners (Utah, Colorado, and California) and indicates an approximate 18-year period between 2006 and 2024 during which only 104 miles were added. The seller notes the vehicle’s extended dormancy accounts for the comprehensive service items addressed. Supporting records are provided in the documents section. The car most recently passed a California emissions test in December 2024.

This sale will include owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a spare tire, and a clean title.

The seller would like you to know: “This is a bone-stock, low-mileage 993 Carrera 4S in one of the most desirable color combinations Porsche offered. The CARFAX shows three owners across Utah, Colorado, and California, with the car spending the majority of its life in careful storage. After sitting dormant for nearly two decades with only 104 miles added between 2006 and 2024, the car was acquired and brought back to life with a comprehensive service at Porsche Burlingame totaling over $12,000, covering every maintenance and wear item you'd expect on a car coming out of long-term storage. Additional work, including an AC recharge, brake fluid service, oil change, and new battery, was performed at Junipero Serra Porsche. The car drives beautifully. Clutch is tight, brakes feel strong, and it shifts cleanly through all gears. The flat-six sounds exactly as it should. It could benefit from a paint correction to bring the original finish back to its full potential, and the suspension would benefit from a refresh, given the age, but mechanically, this is a sorted, honest, and remarkably original example of what many consider the finest 911 ever made. The overall condition of the car, including the interior wear, tire wear patterns, brake condition, and service history, is consistent with a vehicle of this mileage and supports the accuracy of the odometer reading."
