Description:

Bittersweet to do this, however the wife gave the go ahead for another one of my dream cars with the caveat that my 996 turbo had to go.

 If you’re looking for a great driver that has been well maintained and can drive guilt free, this is the car for you. 

 If you’re looking for a pristine garage queen 996 turbo example. Unfortunately, this is not the car for you.

Recent Maintenance (in the last 10-20k miles, some done by me some done by the previous owner. The car didn’t need a lot of these but I am a sucker for preventative maintenance):

• New slave cylinder at 80k miles
• New water pump at 80k miles
• New clutch master cylinder
• Engine out service — replaced various gaskets
• Transmission fluid change with OEM Porsche gear oil
• Front differential fluid change with OEM Porsche gear oil 
• 5w-50 oil as recommended by Porsche
• Front suspension fully gone through at 92k miles
• New front upper/lower control arms
• New front strut mounts

• New front sway bar links
• New inner/outer tie rods
• New motor mounts
• New transmission mount
• New front rotors
• New battery
• New serpentine belt
• New Bosch oxygen sensors (all 4)
• New fuel filter
• New engine coolant hoses
• New expansion tank
• Coolant flush
• Radiator ducts recently cleaned
• Tires only have about 3-4k miles on them, they are Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+

For those who know these cars, the car was recently pressure tested and the vacuum system has also been gone through, car boosts amazingly, with the following replaced: 

• New check #16 
• New Venturi valve
• New diverter valves 
• New vacuum hoses 
• New throttle body gasket
• All vacuum lines zip tied and secured

Coolant lines have not been pinned.

I am sure there is more but this is what I thought was most important. I have a folder full of records dating back to 2014.

I would not hesitate to drive this car across the country. I’ve done multiple roadtrips in it, from New York to Chicago, Chicago to Florida and back, etc. 

The car is in great shape but don’t forget that it is a 21 year old car with 98k miles, and being a driver it does show minor rock chips and light scratches here and there (like I said it’s no garage queen). Exterior is 7.5/10. 

Interior is 9/10 in my opinion and is in better shape than some cars I’ve seen that have half the miles. I’d give it a 10 but the carbon fiber does show its age with some cracking but still shows nicely. 

I have now owned the car for a little over two years. The car was originally from Florida and spent most of its time there and in Texas until 2016. Carfax shows an accident in 2006 when the car had 20k miles on it, don’t have any other information but the car has been flawless and I’ve checked the car from top to bottom with no indication of an accident. 

Asking $49,996 for a quick sale, which makes this the lowest priced manual coupe turbo with less than 100k miles on the market at this moment. 

Close and reasonable offers will be considered.

Thank you.
