This 1995 911 Carrera 2 Cabrio is a winner in every way, from the vivid color combination to the lively 3.6L H6, and if you were thinking that it was time to get a new Porsche, you should probably try this one on for size first. There's no doubt this is a quintessential 911, from the headlights to the subtly curved rear end, there's sports car DNA in this coupe that stretches back generations. The 993 was highly refined but lost none of the proportions that made the 911 so special, and Porsche engineers were careful to keep the essence intact while adding performance, comfort, and confidence. The Blue paint accents the Teutonic shape perfectly, neither overly flashy nor demure, knowing that this car needs no extra flash. Fit and finish are to typically excellent Porsche standards, and with just 67,304 original miles, it has obviously been a special car from the day it came home. The paint shines up beautifully, and while there are a few incredibly small signs of use (and you really have to look close to find them), it certainly doesn't look the better part of 25 years old. Of course, some of that is due to the timeless design, but there's also no question that this car has been expertly maintained. Supportive leather bucket seats in luxurious light tan give the interior a serious look that shows off the minimalist design. The dash is laid out in familiar Porsche style, with a big VDO tach in the center and all the other clear, round VDO instruments on either side. The 993 was a big step forward in terms of ergonomics, so all the controls are right where you'd expect them to be and operation is at least a little intuitive, unlike many of its forebears. Power windows, locks, mirrors, and seats, cruise control, tilt wheel, cold A/C, and a factory Porsche stereo system are included, making this a Porsche that's a joy to drive even in traffic, and everything works as it should thanks to years of careful maintenance. The last of the air-cooled 911s offered 3.6 liters of displacement (with a 281 factory horsepower rating in 1995) and that famously familiar flat-six howl. This low-mile 911 runs superbly and thanks to their known reliability and its lifetime of careful owners, it should continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Few other "used" cars have gained value as well as the 993, and if you're looking for a high-quality, well-maintained with all the right equipment and good documentation, you'll scarcely do better than this.
