Don't let the mileage put you off. This is a well looked after 996 with no need for the purchaser to spend an additional $5k on deferred maintenance or peace-of-mind items, as with so many of them. I was planning on keeping it a long time but a change in personal circumstances means I'm losing my garage and going down to one car.

- New replacement engine from Porsche at 50k miles. This is the later, ‘big IMS bearing' motor
- Extensive Porsche main dealer history from sale as a CPO car in 2006 to PO’s ownership in 2013; self-maintenance records since then. I have it all tabulated in a spreadsheet
- Complete suspension overhaul / replacement by a combination of myself and the previous owner - Euro M030 springs and shocks but also wheel bearings, control arms etc - it drives beautifully
- Designtek exhaust from the UK with 200 cell cats - wonderful sound, no CEL
- Transmission pinion bearing redone by previous owner. Clutch and RMS done at the same time, I believe, although no receipts for this . I installed the Function First shifter - shifting is really crisp
- Whole bunch of preventative maintenance and upgrades - third radiator, low temp thermostat, water pump, coolant tank, engine mounts, coolant hoses, brake and coolant flush, and probably some things I’m forgetting. DT40 every 5,000 miles during my ownership
- Wood redone on steering wheel, driver’s door handle and armrest; leather retrimmed on steering wheel and seat bolsters. Comes with a plain leather steering wheel if you don't like the wood
- PCM1 with added USB / iPhone input
- Carrera III rims, 15mm front and 7mm rear spacers

Points I'd address if I were keeping the car:
- Passenger door wood trim would benefit from refinishing - the cracking isn't too bad but it's noticeable
- Leather on the underside of the handbrake is torn
- Paint is maybe 8/10? One touched-in paint scratch on the left rear flank, maybe an inch long, which you notice once you know it’s there; Some stone chips and scratches under the spoiler commensurate with age and mileage; a slight key scratch by the driver’s door lock
- Remotes are flaky; I suspect the standard solder-joint issue
- Noticed a slight crack in the oil filler recently - it's duct taped for now, I have the part and will install it before sale or pay my indy to do it

All questions, PPI requests etc welcome. I'm in Falls Church, VA
