2001 Porsche 911 996

Porsche 911 996 (2001)
for sale

Price: US $200.00

Description:

For sale is a very nice 911 RWD model 996 with 75, 300 miles. The intermediate shaft (IMS) bearing was replaced in December 2012 during its 60, 000 mile service by Musante Motorsports - a well known Porsche specialist in CT. The clutch showed little wear and was not replaced at that time. I suspect it may have been replaced in July 2004 when (according to Car Fax) the transmission was replaced at 26, 000 miles. The exterior paint, glass, interior and underbody are in good shape. No oil leaks. Mechanically excellent. The engine runs awesome and sounds great. The car has Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires Front: 225/40 ZR-18 Rears: 265/35 ZR-18 installed on 05.18.13 now have 7/32nds+/- of tread left and driven about 12, 000 miles. The car has an all leather interior which is free of rips, tears and so forth. A Singe CD player is built into a Becker radio.
I purchased the car in April 2011 with an odometer reading of 42, 000 miles from a client who lives in Sun Valley, ID. The car was initially placed in service in CA 2001-2006; moved to WA 2006-2010; bought by my client in ID 2010-2011; now CT in 2012-2015. 5, 000 of the 33, 000 miles i put on the car were the two week road trip from ID to CT which included some of the best sports car roads in the USA, the highlight of which was the tail of the dragon -- this car was made for a bucket list trip like that -- you will love it, bid early and often. The 2011 Car Fax I pulled when purchasing the car reported accident damage to left center pillar in September 2003. I had thorough pre-purchase inspection performed including putting the car on an frame machine which confirmed the frame was straight. Whatever happened in 2003 was professionally repaired as there is no indication of repair or damage. As far as I can tell the car has only been used by non smokers.

There are typical wear and tear blemishes you find in a used vehicle. From 10 feet away the car looks virtually perfect, but on close inspection it has its share of dings you expect to find on a generally otherwise well cared for, garaged, 14 year old 911. It does not show in the pictures, but there is a small dent in the top of left rear fender just above the front edge of the wheel housing and a small dent in the rear deck between the spoiler and edge of engine compartment lid. If you look closely at pictures of front end around license plate you will see small dings from road debris.
