Well sorted 1997 Carrera 2 cabriolet, 87xxx miles, 6-speed, guards red over cashmere, rootwood shifter and e-brake, rare factory cashmere leather gauge surrounds, Alpine iPod enabled headunit. Car needs nothing, just completed 90k service plus brake flush, gearbox oil change, new OEM pads and rotors front and rear, set of new Michelin Pilots all around, freshly detailed. Drive it across the country with no worries.

$35,000. Car is in the Austin, TX area, PPI encouraged or call David at Moorespeed and ask him about the car, he just had it in the shop. I have found myself a Turbo I'd like to buy.

Top end done at 58k miles to address SAI issues, car runs beautifully and doesn't use a drop of oil. At same time, installed LWF and RS clutch, M030 springs, Bilstein HD shocks and strut brace. 18" MY02 5-spoke factory rims. I'm the third owner and have owned many Porsches over the years. I bought it with 58k on it in the fall of 2006 from a PCA member.























AC blows cold, everything works. Previous owner had a new top installed in 2006.

I had a good body shop do some paint work on the car two winters ago; the front windshield had the typical rust bubbles at the cowl; that was repaired and a new windshield was installed. In 2009, some a-- in a truck had put a nasty scratch on the passenger side front fender, and took off without leaving information. I had put touchup paint on it, but decided to have it fixed over the winter. There was also a good door ding on the passenger door which was not accessible for a paintless repair, so I had that repaired and shot as well. The rocker was painted, and the rear quarter was blended a little to help with the match. (Red is harder than you would think to match.) That came out nice, so I told them to shoot the hood because of the usual rock chips. None of this work was done as a result of an accident, it was all cosmetic. Front bumper cover is freshly refinished, as well. Just added new headlight lenses.

Here's the "before" picture which shows the scratch:



This is a nice, straight car that makes a great driver and it's an example you won't have to dump a cent into to enjoy ... AC is cold, clutch is great, suspension done, top end done, no SAI issues, no leaks, fresh brakes, fresh tires. The car drives just like it should. Come and get her.

i seriously can't believe this amazing car is available... i feel like it its meant to be mine. if i can get mine sold or traded i would love yours. mine has a few cosmetic issues with the interior, and the headlights need to be polished. i'm just south of you a few miles.

If it's not a hoax, you may have better luck with this red/cashmere C4 just listed on CL. Just $39,000 for a cab with 59,000 miles...
