A Guards Red 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 coupe, refurbished and upgraded, is offered on consignment with 125,000 miles and extensive service history.

A 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 coupe finished in Guards Red over Cashmere beige leather is being offered for sale on consignment by a selling dealer. The car, a 993-generation model, shows 125,000 miles on its six-digit odometer and comes with the owner's manual, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean North Carolina title.
The 993 was the first 911 to feature a multi-link rear suspension, and this example benefits from several performance-oriented modifications. It rides on Bilstein B8 coilovers and M030-spec springs, and braking is handled by silver-finished Porsche-branded calipers over cross-drilled rotors at all four corners. The front brake rotors, pads, and sensors were replaced in January 2023, while the brake fluid was flushed and the parking brake repaired in May 2025. Silver 17-inch Cup II wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tyres showing date codes from 2021.
Power comes from an air-cooled 3.6-litre flat-six, factory rated at 270 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque, driving all four wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle. The engine was removed and the top end resealed in August 2015, at which time the valve guides, piston rings, rod bearings, and exhaust valves were replaced. More recent work includes a DME relay replacement in June 2024, an oil cooler temperature switch in May 2025, and an oil change in May 2026. A September 2026 service record notes an oil leak on the valve covers and timing chain housing. This year has also seen a clutch fluid flush and replacement of the reverse microswitch and clutch cylinders.
The cabin was refurbished in May 2021 by Patrick Motorsports in Phoenix, Arizona. Work included disassembling, cleaning, and reupholstering the power-adjustable front seats, installing a Continental head unit, and replacing the shift boot, carpeting, and sunroof and door seals. Amenities include Coco floor mats, USB connectivity, keyless entry, air conditioning, and a power-operated sunroof. The air conditioning condenser was replaced earlier this year, and door speakers have also been replaced. The cruise control does not work. The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a central tachometer with a 6,800-rpm redline, a 180-mph speedometer, a Quarz analogue clock, and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, oil level, and fuel level. The ignition lock was replaced in June 2024.
Exterior details include headlight washers, fog lights, heated power-adjustable mirrors, black rear bumperettes, a speed-activated rear spoiler, a «basket handle» fixed rear spoiler with an integrated third brake light, a rear window wiper, and dual exhaust outlets. HID headlights with LED high-beams have been added. The car has seen some body repairs: rust repairs were performed along the windshield and rear window in November 2019, the passenger-side rocker panel was repaired in March 2022, the hood struts were replaced in January 2023, and the headlight lenses and stone guards were replaced in 2024. The front bumper cover has been replaced, and the deck lid and cowl have been refinished. Imperfections are noted on the body, and photos showing paint-meter readings are included in the gallery.
The car remained with its original owner until May 2019 and was purchased by its current owner in May 2024. Approximately 2,000 miles have been added under current ownership. Decoding the option sticker reveals Guards Red paint (L80K), Cashmere Beige all-leather seats with black cabin accents, a Becker Porsche CR-1 cassette stereo, eight-way power-adjustable seats, cruise control, a Hi-Fi sound system, Nokia Digital Sound Processing audio, and a Becker-Porsche CDC-3 six-disc CD changer. The Carfax report is free from accidents or other reported damage.
