1996 911 Turbo
Mileage trumps ownership history as this 993 Turbo misses a new high

Introduced in 1995, the 993 Turbo was both a technological leap and the end of an era as the last air-cooled 911 Turbo. It was the first Turbo to feature all-wheel drive, borrowing the system from the legendary 959 to help manage its 402 horsepower. Power came from a 3.6-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six using a pair of K16 turbos, delivering brutal acceleration with newfound stability. Visually, the car is easily identified by its deep whale-tail rear spoiler, which housed the intercoolers that kept intake temperatures in check. Today, the 993 Turbo stands as one of the most desirable 911s, combining classic air-cooled character with serious performance.
This 1996 911 Turbo is a single-owner example finished in Polar Silver Metallic over Black leather and shows just 23,000 miles. Factory options include Sport Seats along with aluminum trim pieces for the shift knob, handbrake, and instrument dial rings, plus stainless-steel sill plates and tailpipes. The car presents as a well-preserved example with comprehensive documentation, including stamps in the service manual, paint meter readings, and detailed photos in the gallery.
Over the past twelve months, 993 Turbos have averaged $223,800, with sales ranging from $133,000 to a high of $297,000 for an 11,000-mile Arctic Silver over Boxster Red example that sold this time last year. Our Spotlight car hammered at $270,000, right in line with other low-mileage comps. While its single-ownership history was a strong selling point, mileage ultimately carried more weight, keeping it just shy of the recent twelve-month high.
