GarageScout Take

The introduction-year 993 Targa, one of 462 sold in the U.S. for 1996, combines an uncommon Grand Prix White finish with a documented 2017 engine rebuild and M030/Bilstein suspension. Mileage sits near the high end for this generation, and the Turbo-style front bumper, refinished bumper covers, deleted washers and rear spoiler, driver’s bolster wear, and aftermarket wheels, exhaust, suspension, and emissions equipment are the compromises.

Strengths

  • 1996 was the introduction year for the 993 Targa, with 462 examples sold in the United States.
  • The 2017 engine rebuild is documented with major internal components and seals replaced.
  • Factory and aftermarket equipment includes the M030 suspension components, Bilstein shocks, Fister exhaust, and Soul cat-bypass pipes.
  • A clean CARFAX report and clean title are noted.

Watch For

  • Both bumper covers have been refinished, and the car has a Turbo-style front bumper.
  • The headlight washers and basket-handle rear brake light spoiler were deleted, with painted plugs installed.
  • The driver’s seat bolster shows wear.
  • The car has aftermarket wheels, suspension, exhaust, and emissions modifications; the original catalytic converter and 17-inch wheels are included.
