I purchased this Turbo Cabriolet in March of 2021, with 64,000 miles, from a private party owner who purchased it on Bring A Trailer in early 2020. During my two years and 20,000 miles of ownership, I have enjoyed using this 996 as my fair weather daily driver, as well as my road tripper - having driven it 10,000+ miles throughout 2022, on trips from Chicago to Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Atlanta. The car has performed faultlessly on all of these and I would not hesitate to hop in and drive it anywhere, any time.

Given the extensive long-haul drives this 996 has been on, I have modified and maintained this car to the highest standard. Recent and notable servicing work includes - but is not limited to:

• Replacement K24 (X50) turbochargers
• Fresh set of pads/rotors all around (Slotted rotors up front)
• Recent oil change (oil services done every 4,000-5,000 miles under my ownership with Driven DT40 5W40)
• New spark plugs
• New fuel pump

All major services were performed within the last 12,000 miles.

Modifications to this 996 include:

• Aftermarket 2.5" Speedtech catless x-pipe exhaust. Original exhaust with catalytic converters included with purchase 
• GIAC tune with raised rev limiter - installed in 2011 by the previous long-term owner
• Upgraded Sachs clutch - added for longevity with the GIAC tune
• Upgraded PCCM+ with CarPlay and Porsche navigation SD card
• Wired radar detector mount to the rearview mirror
• Hollow-spoke turbo twist wheels (as seen in the listing photos)

I am reluctant to let this 996 go as it was a childhood dream car of mine, and I hunted for an X50 pack cabriolet for well over a year before buying this example. While the mileage is not low, I believe this to be one of the best-loved and maintained 996s in this price range currently available on the market. I am only selling this 996 due to finally being allocated a slot for a 992 Carrera T, and with limited parking space, I must sell this to make room.

Included with the sale are two sets of wheels in addition to the ones currently installed on the car - chrome hollow-spoke turbo twist wheels, and later model winter wheels. The car currently sits on Continental ECS tires purchased in 2021 showing ~18,000 miles of use, with both extra sets of wheels in 7+ year-old tires. Additionally included are the original navigation system and 6-CD changer. 

Commensurate with extensive highway use, the car has known cosmetic flaws:

• Chips on the front bumper (the bumper is PPF'd and chips have not pierced the clearcoat)
• Chip in the windshield
• Rash on driver's side wheels
• Chip on the spoiler and driver's side taillight 
• Slight wrinkle on the driver's side soft top; does not leak water and is a cosmetic-only concern 

I am asking $58,000 OBO. I am looking for expediency in the process and ability to take the car + wheels and parts at once - and will negotiate on those factors. Would love for this car to go on to a fellow enthusiast. A Data Room with additional photos, service records, Carfax, DME report and build sheet is available upon request.

Thank you!
