Spotted in Los Angeles, California is a 1996 Porsche 993 Turbo for sale. This car is at auction with only 4 hours to go. It has a clean title with only 27,878 original miles. I am curious to see where this car sells at. Â It is red with black interior. Â The door inserts are red and the gauges have orange faces. Â Do you know if these are factory options? Â Â This is a low mileage car and should sell for north of $120k. Â It has a clean title with bidding at $97,000 USD. The 993 Turbo was produced for 1996 to 1998 only. It used a 3.6 liter turbo charged engine producing 402 hp.

Within the 1996 through 1998 production run, there were two distinct differences: the 1996 and the later ones. The 1997s and 1998s had the following differences from the 1996s:
- Stronger transmission input shafts (a known weakness due to the combination of immense power and AWD).
- An ECU that was able to be flashed and modified (the 1996 was not modifiable).
- With the addition of a Porsche child seat, the passenger airbag was cut off.
- Motion sensors for the alarm that were integrated into the map light above the rear view mirror.
- Standard wheel center caps that said “turbo” (the 1996 version had Porsche crests).
