2001 Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible 2-door 3.4l on 2040-cars

Year:2001 Mileage:98000
Location:

Boca Raton, Florida, United States

Boca Raton, Florida, United States

I purchased the 2001 996 porsche in 2009 with 40,000 miles and my mechanic said it was very well maintained.  Since purchasing the car, it's run absolutely flawlessly with the engine and transmission function like every other 911 (had five previously) I've had before it.  In fact, it's really the only car I would consider buying with high milage because they are so well made.

This car has be serviced religiously since I owned it with the major service being done after 61,000 miles including engine and trans oil and filters, all 6 ignition coils changed and belts.  I have all the service documents from the first to the last including my bill of sale from the dealer that sold it to me.

The convertable roof was replaced about 2 years ago along with the hydrolics that operate it.  Everything in the car works without fail including the convertable top, all guages, electric seats, side mirrors, interior lights and remote key access.

This particular 911 has the AERO package with ground effect side skirts and rear quarter fender kickouts that were factory installed as far as I know and  make the car look slick.  Also has the full leather package.

There are some issues that do not affect performance including: the all 4 wheels were damaged (see pics) by my tire store (no longer my tire store) when the dummy attempted to clean them before reinstalling.  Needless to say they need to be restored.  The leather on the drivers side door is deteriorating along the window (see pic).  The driver's side seat back has a spot that has worn through showing the foam (see pic) and there was an accident that I was invovled in (light front end) that was professionally repaired.  There is a bow in the radiator that my mechanic said to leave as is since it's not leaking and has performed just fine for 20k miles. I live in South Florida with 96 degree days, and this little car doesn't break a sweat. In fact the air conditioner blows so cold that at night you find it set at minimum fan otherwise you freeze.  The rear tires also need to be replaced.

As for the exterior, the sides show straight and true.  There's only one or two digs in the side panels.  The car really looks good from the sides.  The roof has some paint chips consistent with the age of the car.  There's also a slight rub mark on one of the back fenders (hard to see).

Happy bidding.  Please do not bid unless you're willing to inspect the car and make sure everything is as I described.  I'm availabe to speak by phone at: 561-404-8888.  I can assist with shipping but I will be your responsibility to pay for it.

Porsche's latest Driver's Selection keeps enthusiasts happy at home

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Porsche fans - and there are certainly plenty of them out there, even in here on the Autoblog editorial staff - can be pretty emphatic about their enthusiasm, insisting that the 911 is the very definition of the sportscar. And for some, merely admiring one from afar or even leaving theirs parked outside isn't enough. For just such enthusiats, Porsche Design has expanded its Driver's Selection with some tantalizing additions for the home and office.
First up is a desk chair made from the bucket seat in a 911 Carrera, which we have to admit we'd rather be sitting in right now over this blasted, rather unexciting ergonomic office chair. It's covered in black leather (the same you'd find inside an actual 911) embossed with the Porsche emblem and features electronic backrest adjustment.
There's also a wall shelf made from the carbon-fiber rear spoiler a 911 GT3 Cup racecar that can support up to 264 pounds of downforce in the form of books, trinkets and whathaveyou. And there's a limited-edition resin model of the 918 Spyder in 1:8 scale. The items haven't hit the Porsche shop just yet, so we don't have pricing information, but if they tickle your fancy, the online store has plenty more to offer.

Porsche rules out Macan, 911 hybrids

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Believe it or not, between the 918 Spyder, the Cayenne and the Panamera, Porsche offers more plug-in hybrid models than any other brand. Yes, Porsche. But don't expect that trend to continue. At least, not in the immediate future.
According to Top Gear, the E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera is too big to fit into the smaller Macan. A future hybrid system could be small enough to fit, but with the current technology still fresh, that'd still be some ways down the twisting road.
It stands to reason, then, that if the system wouldn't fit in the Macan, it wouldn't fit in the Boxster or Cayman, either. But what of the 911? Surely Porsche would like to stick it to BMW and its new i8, and proved it could do a hybrid 911 when it rolled the GT3 R Hybrid (pictured) out onto the race track over four years ago. But Zuffenhausen is reportedly in no rush to put that idea into production - not for the current 911 and not for the next one, either.

2015 Porsche Macan Turbo

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

I knew it was a softball question, but I asked it anyway. It's pretty standard for automakers to offer up some examples of competitors when they invite the media to drive a new vehicle for the first time. If not stated outright, it's just as standard for some journalist to query about the competitive set as soon as the Q&A begins. I knew full well that Porsche believes it has a valuable new niche to itself with the 2015 Macan (and especially with the Macan Turbo), but I wanted to hear the answer to the competitor cars question anyway.
Porsche CEO Matthias Müller didn't hesitate for a second to respond. With a half-smirk appropriate to an executive that is about to launch the (very probably) most profitable and best-selling product in his brand's lineup he chuckled, "Of course, I could be arrogant and say this car has no competitors..."
Arrogant? Well, the grinning Müller certainly didn't give off a humble vibe as he proceeded to count down a list of German and British utility vehicles from various classes that are clearly behind the pace of the Macan in either looks, luxury, or sporting prowess - Range Rover Sport, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK among them.
