This 993 is essentially a one owner car. The original owner purchased the car from Herb Chambers with 1, 073 miles
on it in April of 1998. It had previously been owned by a woman in Florida. The car currently has 85, 000 and the
original owner can no longer drive. I purchased the car from him and we have been through it to make sure
everything is in working order. The car has new brakes, various switches, belts, plugs, caps, rotors, battery,
other typical service parts and assorted rubber pieces that needed to be replaced. We have been over the car
completely cosmetically. It runs great and looks terrific. The original tool kit and jack are with the car although
the compressor to inflate the spare is not original. The top was replaced at one point and is in excellent
condition. The tonneau cover looks like it was never put on until now.
For some I suppose it's only drawback is that it is an automatic. That said, it gets up and goes whether the
transmission kicks down or if you use manual mode. I have put several hundred miles on it and it is a pleasure to
drive. While it looks great and I would say is much better than average for a daily driver of its age, it isn't
perfect. Although the owner does not recall what damage he did to the vehicle the left side, bumpers and hood have
been painted. Under florescent light you can tell the color is different on the left side but outside it is not
noticeable. In looking the car over closely and cleaning it up there is no indication that the damage was much
more than "skin deep." Knowing the gentleman who owned the car who is an absent minded professor type he probably
scraped the side of the car on a pole or the wall of a garage. There are a few door dings on the right side but
only one that is obvious. It has typical chips in the bumpers and other places on the body all of which have been
touched up. There are two stars that were repaired in the windshield. Over all the interior is excellent with two
exceptions. The carpet on the drivers side is a bit worn on the sill and it is worn through in one spot which was
filled in with a piece from elsewhere on the floor. We repaired the seat back bolster on the left side of the
drivers seat and the seats were dyed. I intend to see if I can get all the service records from Herb Chambers so
that whomever purchases the car has full documentation. An original Porsche cover is included. The car comes with
a copy of the original MA title as the owner could not locate the original. It is signed but not filled out for
anyone purchasing the vehicle in a title state.
