About the car
——————————
It took me a while to find that car configuration:
- Manual
- no PSM
- full leather interior
- Bose sound system
- Litronic headlights
- RoW M030 suspension from factory
- Factory carbon interior: center console, dash, door trim, door sill, speakers…
- Clean Carfax available in the dropbox folder.

I bought the car in north Texas (dry climate, no rust) from a 60 years old doctor in 2010. Never been in any accident, clean carfax. The car was always under extended warranty and serviced at the Dealer even thought the only thing I had to do were water pump and RMS. Car is owned free and clear, title on hand.

I have tons of paperwork showing all the car history, including window sticker, previous owner cpo paper, PPI from when I purchased the car. I also have 3 keys, 2 main 'regular' keys and a third one that has no transmitter 'head'.


Miscellaneous:
——————
- All body panels are in perfect conditions, except few dings, see ‘the bad’ section below
- The car doesn't use a drop of oil in between oil changes
- Gas mileage on highway is +-25mpg, which show good working lifter and variocam
- Never a drop in coolant level either
- IMS is original showed no sign of leak during RMS replacement. Kept in place to keep warranty
- The engine is 100% stock down to the air filter. No aftermarket pars have even been installed on the engine.
- The car is located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.


The Good: For a 10 year old car, it drives like a dream
____
- Everything works
- Engine and transmission work/sounds perfect
- RoW suspension have 10k miles on them and ride is very good.
- Interior is really cool with all carbon fiber bits
- Interior in great shape, I have always driven the car alone, non smoker, not to work so no eating or drinking in the car
- Body work is in great shape and the color is not common
- The FisterD exhaust mod makes a great sound



The Bad: Really nothing for a 10 year old car, but if you have porsche OCD, here it is
—————
- (see photo) Headlight show sign of wear, the plastic is getting hazy. Not dramatic but 60% of the surface losts its prime shine/transparency.
- (see photo) There is a slight ‘print’ on the rear bumper. I backed out a bit too close to the wall in my previous condo and the chain link printed on the plastic a bit, but the paint was not scratched at all. You can’t barely see it but it is there.
- (see photo) The hood has 3 small ding caused by an object left in the trunk which bumped into the inside, you would have to use reflection to see it from the outside but it did scratch the inside of the hood a quite a bit.
- cup holder tiny arm spring broken, but I have a new spare not installed yet and it is still functional
- carbon fiber side vents are little bent on top. they do not align perfectly. but could be worked on.

Weekly bump for my lovely 996

p944s1987

Thanks for a great job on the video Phil. I wish I were closer. I am in the active market as you know!!! Mike

Mike, if you want a clean car, you need to be ready to travel ;0

Take a flight down here, I live 20 minutes away from fort lauderdale airport. I'll pick you up and you can drive it back ... or I'll drive you back to the airport with a smile as I'll get to drive the car a little longer

philooo

It seems like reenlist has banished the 996 from their vocabulary, too bad as they are such nice car for the money, I assume I'll have to remove the aerokit and bring it to carmax ;(

Modified cars seem to linger a bit longer. Not the best time of year either.
I would wait it out a bit.

Also, just my personal opinion, the present day photos should be posted rather then the ones from the original purchase. Unless Im wrong and those are present day, noticed you are in FLA and the plates are Texas? Either way best of luck with the sale.

I would post to Pelican as well.

niart906

Ugh, if only I was ready to buy. Perfect example of a 996. GLWS!

williamr91

Yes a very nice example, I hope you sell soon, it would be nice to bring values up a bit

For what this car is, I feel its priced well.

philooo

Thanks for the kind words.

The car is still for sale, even though winter may not be the best time to sell. I am firm on my price. Every other car I see in this price range are nowhere as nice as mine.

This winter I will certainly mount my gt3 rims and install them on it, so the gt3 look will be complete. For potential buyers who like the gt3 look, i have a full set of em gt3 suspension (shocks, spring, sway) that I can sell with the car.

I wanted to reply to this comment, the pictures in dropbox are curent, I just never changed my tag to florida. just lazy. But you can see the mileage is current, I actually have 46,500 on the car now.

How much of a factor is no PSM? I am in the hunt for a C2 or C4S and since my first 996 - I am assuming this is something most people like or do the purists not like it?
