Considering purchasing a 1995 1998 Porsche 911 993 carrera cabriolet still haven't desided if I'd like to get plain 993, a S, a 4, a 4S Want Red interior, silver outside, auto transmission, Black cabriolet top, and I could install a four point screw rollcage . My Question is could this car be atractive, SAFE, beautiful, realible, good gas comsuption like anything between 15 30 mpg to me is good, low insurance, low theft yes I could use a encoded key, the disable steering thing, warning stickers that the car is protected, could the car last for atleast four years with only driving four miles a day and 20 miles on the weekends also parked in a garge with a protection covering, waxed every six months, cleaned every week, in depth every two months, Fuilds replaced when suggested by Porsche, generally taken to services and tune ups, brake replace every four 6months, routers every year, alignment every year. Also I could only use the 91 octane gas.

The 993 is a great car and it surely is nice. With the right care, it is also dependable and can get decent gas mileage, if you do not drive like a maniac. You won't get low insurance, at least not in comparison to a Toyota, Ford or another model.

Why do you want to install a roll cage? you'll must be cautious to get a cage that can fit with the convertible top and still lets access to the space behind the seats sounds like more trouble than it is worth.

My preference could be for the C4 or C4S, as these all wheel drive models handle superbly. but, they're also more complex and usually take more maintenance. They do far better in the winter than the standard two wheel drive model, but.

Maybe

that,s good

Sounds like you'd be taking good care of it. Just be told that with a red outside you'd be looking at a more waxing work. I used to drive a red M3 and found that the car gloss gets visibly different if you avoid a good polish every two three months.I now tend to my 997 a bit differently. I'd also think about running a 94 octane instead of a 91. I now drive a 997 Carrera S in Guards Red and I can tell you that you are going to attract attention, but that could be with nearly any Porsche. The paint is the major issue, just keep up the hard work.

first off, if you get an auto, you may want to be slapped. Automatics should be illegal. may also not drive one if its an auto. purchase a lexus/mercedes/bmw if you want somehting comfy. Go learn to drive a stick. Youll thank me afterward.

993s look unbelievable, the 993 GT2 was possibly the best looking porsche ever made. they are also quite safe, esp with a rollcage put in it no clue why you could need a rollcage if you are not racing, which you shouldnt be with an auto . Youll land around 20 mpg with it if you are good with you are right foot.

insurance won't be cheap if you are under 25 or have a mediocre history. they are already low theft. People don't steal costly cars. they steal old agreements and such. No have to put stickers on a beautiful car like that.

i could also not do brakes every four six months or rotors every year. theyd barely be broken in by then. Pads are typically good for 30,000 and rotors almost 100k before they have to be replaced, unless you are tracking the car. dependability shouldnt be a problem. Porsches are constructed like freaking tanks. the g50 tranny in it'll most likely outlive you.

and you must use 91 or 93 octane. it'll ping on anything less.

the 993s were the last of the "scary porsches" although outside of the pre 04 gt2s . They do drive more like the older ones, being oversteery and they tend not to get you much confidence at the bound, unlike the 996s.

if budget lets, I could go for a 996 carrera, simply because theyll be better day to day cars, which it sounds like you are looking for depending on the auto transmission declaration .

and go for the S. you wont regret it.

Don't annoy answering this. This kid just goes on here saying he's purchasing all kinds of cars he knows nothing about and asking how he can tan and expand his penis. clearly has way too much time on his hands and no hobbies.

993 runs good on 90 octane the computer can unping it down to 88 or so I mix 87 and 93 it works out cheaper than purchasing 89. I read someplace online that 90 octane is suggested. I also recommend taking out any extra weight I swapped the spare tire and kit for a can of flat fix. I removed anything that was plastic, down to the fuse box cover, which is a plastic bag and elastic band. Took out those stupid back seats and belts about 300 pounds in total and notice the difference in both acceleration and fuel economy. Removing the rear seats and padding increases the glorious harmony that's the boxster engine in the cabin its not deafening or annoying, but it surely makes it sound great when high reving. Note that the Goodrich front tires will take up to 50 psi the rear only go to 44 psi... If purchasing a cab, be sure the roof really works, by raising and lowering atleast ten times if the roof "brain" gives out on you its atleast a $700 fix if the two rear top motors go its a $1000 fix. attempt to get the metallic paint an costly choice when new and looks great esp. silver. Mechanic told me the 993 was the last hand built model and could cost $200K to build now cost delivered was $85,000 in 1996. If you may be able to find one with low mileage, that's a real bargain for under $40,000. Lucky there are rich people around to suck up all that depreciation. I generally wanted a 911 and trust me its everything you thought it could be. Girls grin for you guys congratulate you at the lights. Find a twisty cliff road to really get your money's worth. Other top moment gun it through tunnels with the top down the engine roars like a lion. Porsche there's no replacement..

This is certainly not the car for you, judging by how you drive and your meant use. Why use a race horse to plow a field?

WOW you're F'in stupid
