Blue-on-blue is one of the more distinctive combinations a 993 can wear, and this coupe pairs it with the six-speed manual buyers prefer. Owned by the same person since 2012, it shows 46,000 miles and has had a long list of parts replaced in recent years, though it also carries coilovers, aftermarket wheels, and a full aftermarket sound system. Bidding stands at $75,000 with seven days remaining and nine bids placed.1996 Porsche 911 CarreraBring a TrailerWhat it's worth right nowMarket data from Classic.com tracks the 993 Carrera manual coupe market, and a 2026 value guide built from its records and The Classic Valuer puts a good car between $120,000 and $130,000. Recent results include a 1995 Carrera at £104,365 on Bring a Trailer in April 2026 and a 1996 Carrera at £60,822 on Collecting Cars in July.Modifications place this one below the clean-car figure. A manual gearbox, a desirable color, and recent work help, while coilovers, non-original wheels, an aftermarket stereo, and service work that is mostly seller-reported hold it back. Fair value lands between $95,000 and $125,000, with $108,000 most likely, since modifications rarely add value on an air-cooled 911.1996 Porsche 911 CarreraBring a TrailerCondition and detailsThe specification starts strong. The option sticker confirms Midnight Blue Metallic, Midnight Blue partial leather, eight-way power seats, cruise control, the Hi-Fi system, and a power sunroof, and the car has the speed-activated spoiler, headlight washers, and fog lights. It originally carried the 398 option for 17-inch wheels, which do not appear to be included, and now rides on 18-inch Sport Classic II wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.1996 Porsche 911 CarreraBring a TrailerModifications change the character. Bilstein B16 coilovers set to Euro-spec height, a Fabspeed exhaust, silver gauge bezels, and a Kenwood stereo with amplifiers, Focal speakers, and Hertz subwoofers are fitted. These are reversible in principle, but a buyer who wants a stock 993 will need the original parts or replacements, and the subwoofer installation may affect the rear interior trim.1996 Porsche 911 CarreraBring a trailerThe service history is mostly seller-reported. The seller states the differential was rebuilt in 2016, that the expansion valve, receiver drier, and drive belts were replaced in 2023, and that the battery, alternator, and evaporator core were replaced in 2026, along with sunroof, seal, light, and strut work. The listing does not say what prompted the differential rebuild or whether the clutch is original. A pre-purchase inspection should include a leak-down test.1996 Porsche 911 CarreraBring a TrailerThe offerSpecificationDetailMakePorscheModel911 Carrera Coupe (993)Year1996Mileage46,000 miles shownEngine3.6-liter M64 air-cooled flat-sixPower282 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torqueTransmissionSix-speed manual transaxleDrive typeRear wheel driveExterior colorMidnight Blue MetallicInterior colorBlue partial leatherCurrent bid$75,000 with seven days remainingInterested in this car? View the listing here.What makes the 993 Carrera uniqueThe 993 was the last air-cooled 911, and that fact shapes its value more than anything else. Porsche gave it a multi-link rear suspension that tamed the earlier cars' handling, a smoother body with integrated bumpers, and for 1996 the VarioRam intake that raised the 3.6-liter flat-six to 282 horsepower. It was replaced by the water-cooled 996 in 1998.1996 Porsche 911 CarreraBring a TrailerValues have climbed steadily since. A 2026 value guide traces the typical 993 Carrera from near $48,000 in 2012 to the $120,000 to $130,000 range today, driven by collectors who see it as the end of an era. Originality matters most at the top of that market, so stock, documented examples command the strongest prices.My takeAt $75,000 with nine bids and seven days to run, my call is $108,000, with $125,000 reachable if a buyer values the color and manual over originality. What appeals is the core car, since a six-speed 993 in Midnight Blue over Blue with 46,000 miles and a long list of recent parts is a genuinely attractive starting point. What holds it back is the modifications and paperwork, because coilovers, aftermarket wheels and audio, missing original wheels, and mostly seller-reported service history all cost it with collectors. Ask for receipts and the clutch history, then bid.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
