Buyer’s notes
About the Porsche 911 Carrera S (993)
The 993 was the last air-cooled 911, with a multi-link rear suspension in place of the old semi-trailing arms and a six-speed gearbox. The Carrera S of 1997–98 paired the rear-wheel-drive 993 with the wide body of the Turbo; about 3,009 were built (est.), and it sits well above the standard Carrera.
What moves the price
- Body: the Turbo-style wide body with rear-wheel drive is what sets the Carrera S apart, and its value reflects it.
- Maintenance evidence: a complete specialist service history is non-negotiable on any 993.
- Condition and originality, which drive most of the difference between one car and the next.
Before you buy, check
- The secondary air injection ports, which block and are a known 993 weak point.
- Oil leaks and valve-guide wear, the usual signs of an engine that needs work.
- The car’s identity against Porsche’s factory records, to confirm a genuine Carrera S.
