Description:
This 1999 Porsche 911 996.1 Carrera coupe is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over Black full leather, and it is powered by a 3.4-liter flat-six paired with a five-speed Tiptronic automatic transaxle.
Responsibly owned, driven, and maintained to a high standard. No known issues.
The 3.4-liter M96 flat-six engine was factory rated at 296 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The four-spoke steering wheel fronts a 175+ mph speedometer, a central tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 69k miles, approximately 8k of which were added under current ownership over the past 4.5 years.
Equipment includes 17″ five-spoke alloy wheels, integrated fog lights, a Porsche CDR-210 stereo, traction control, automatic climate control, cruise control, power sunroof, and dual exhaust outlets with polished finishers. Stopping power is from four-piston Porsche-branded calipers fitted over Porsche rotors at all four corners. The cabin features power-adjustable seats upholstered in black supple leather along with matching carpets and black floor mats. This 996.1 has a desirable early build date of February 1998, as well as desirable cable throttle, cable hood, and cable rear decklid controls.
The car has spent its life Washington State since new.
All service work has been with Porsche OEM parts by Porsche dealers or independent Porsche specialist shops. Recent service has included preventative maintenance items including LN Solution IMS bearing upgrade, rear main seal, coolant tank, water pump, and more.
Vehicle has no known modifications except for LN Solution IMS bearing upgrade and Rennline billet front license plate mount.
This coupe is offered with service records, original owner’s manuals, original tool set, original front license plate mount, three keys, Porsche Tequipment trickle charger, Porsche windshield sunshade, current CARFAX report, and a clean and clear Washington State title.
Happy to answer any questions. Located in secured parking in Seattle’s SODO area for viewing. I do not need help selling this vehicle.

Also, OP, that's BaT ad copy. Was this on BaT previously?
Trending Topics
1. They had catastrophic issues with the IMS bearing. Which would require $20k in engine rebuilding/replacement
2. They sold a lot of them
3. The look is considered less appealing
Your book price is completely accurate for about 5 years ago. However, problem 1 has been solved. Not having to roll the dice on a dead engine (and decreasing the supply of cheap rollers) has caused a significant uptick in price. Last year $20k was a fair price for a good example with lowish miles. Toss in the pandemics upward pressure on all used cars, the fact this model has reached classic status, and a general increase in buzz from PCA and other sources and this is a well (and probably low)priced example.
some consider the 99 more desirable due to the cable throttle.
As always price is what people are willing to pay right now. Three years ago paying a dealer markup over MSRP on a Corolla would have been insane, but this is where we are.
I suggest you concentrate your research on listings across several sources and see what the asking and what the selling price is. Keeping in mind the car is 20 years old and conditions can vary greatly.
to the OP. Nice car and GLWS
Im not sure how things work on the corvette forum but here it is generally considered poor form to reply to someone's ad by
1. Saying you don't know anything about what an item costs
2. Insisting it's worth half what the seller asked
There are actually rules to prevent this very thing. If you're really interested in learning the ins and outs of pricing I suggest you post in the 996 forum. There are lots of helpful, knowledgeable and friendly people there who would love teach you the way of the 996
