Oh my I think I made some kind of violation. I apologiyze I was not aware of the rules.

 

The 1995 993 is a very sought after car as it is pre OBD2 and the last of the aircooled series. All the RS conversion parts are basic not worth much more than their depreciated cost over a basic 993 for that year. The front splitters are correct but I'm not sure the rear spoiler is the 1995 duck tail. The wheels look like Speedlines but not specifically built for Porsche. The outer barrels will be etched with Speedline for Porsche on them if they are from an RS. Speedline sold these wheels after market but they are actually 17" centers with barrels extended to 18" which was not uncommon for Speedline but they are very heavy. The roll bar was not standard on an RS only on an RSR. Since someone went to the trouble to put this in along with the camera mount you must assume this car has seen some track time. So consider this in your valuation of the car. What is also a bit odd about this car is that it has ROW side markers on the front fenders but also a US WP0 vin. From the pictures the rear wheel wells look flaired which did not occur on US cars until MY1996 on turbo and C4S. 112,000 miles is high for the price being asked. 5 previous owners is also a red flag. The cost to rebuild one of these motors/trannys is $$$$$$. All the extra added RS conversion options are cheap in comparison to major driveline rebuild costs. I'd look for a 993C2S with lower miles. By way of example what would you pay for this 1995 with 45K miles on it considering it's grey market (ZZZ in the vin), all the parts including the 3.8 motor are Porsche except the wheels, one owner with all importation, maintenance, and modification records. (Don't get excited I sold it four years ago).
