2001 996 Turbo with 28k miles

Year: 2001

Price: $42950
Mileage: 27652
Color: Silver

2001 Porsche 996 Turbo

**** SOLD ****

To a fellow 6speed member who's driving it across country as we speak.







Car Details
· Arctic Silver/Black
· 27652 miles
· 30K Mile service completed w/new plugs
· I bought car in March '04 with 7K miles on it certified from Park Place Porsche in Dallas.
· Car has been serviced by Boardwalk Porsche and/or Ruf exclusively.
· Car has never had any accident history of any kind. Period.
· Non-Smoker
· Always garaged
· Car has been tracked 2-4 times a year

Factory Options (from memory)
· Full leather
· Deviated silver stitching throughout
· Heated memory seats
· Navigation
· Some fancy stereo system but can't remember Porsche's name for it.
· Carbon Fiber everywhere inside on dash, console, and doors.
· Aluminum door sills
· New Porsche mats
· Supple heated memory seats
· Porsche crest in seat headrest
· Foot well lighting
· Rear back-up sensor
· Litronics
· Late '01 production with NO bumper warts and has Hollow Spoke wheels

Aftermarket options
· Bilstein PSS9 adjustable suspension. Have stock suspension in a box.
· GT3 rear sway bar
· Short Shifter Kit
· FVD ECU Flash (Most moderate one). Done within the last year and a half. The car ran bone-stock for most of its life
· 997TT rotors (Porsche installed)

Car is PRISTINE except for these known issues
· Small rock chips on front bumper. On plastic only, not steel parts.
· Rear calipers are off-color due to overheat. Perfect working condition
· Passenger seat right bolster received a small puncture hole from something in someone’s back pocket and was repaired by Boardwalk Porsche. Not that great of a job in my opinion but probably as good as you can get.
· Interior rear view mirror is going a bit hazy.
· Front plastic lip has a bit of rash/distortion. If you saw my driveway you'd understand.
· A couple of the interior carbon fiber bits have had the Porsche notorious 'curl'. Not bad but definitely there
· 1" scratch low on the right side near rear wheel well. No one will notice it unless you point it out.
· Rear tires are due for replacement

Above is a complete nitpickers list of all imperfections. To most other mortals the car is PRISTINE in and out. It's beautiful and very well maintained. I was going to keep it another 3 years but this damn GT3 bug bit me and ruined the best laid plans.

$42,950.00

Bart - I am right next to you (in Flower Mound), and if I hadn't bought my car in December I would be all over this. That's a great price considering all the options you have. Best of luck with the sale - love the plate, but not sure if it would help your cause with the local finest.

Thanks neighbor.

Actually the plate has got me off of many tickets. Cops either find it amusing or, if they don't get it, think I'm a cop. It was funnier when it was on my speed yellow 996 though.

Beautiful truck but I'm going to have to pass. Already have the replacement for the turbo and need to free up my garage space so my truck can go back in.

Good luck!

Ok, keep me in mind. I am a cash buyer hence the price. I am going to avoid getting a loan of any sort.

If it starts with a 3 I might buy it as a back-up to mine!

This price is already fantastic - there aren't any listed here with close to these options and this mileage for anywhere near this price. Most of us who recently bought a TT paid more for less - and the servicing by the dealer and RUF is a bonus.

OT - Hey vreynaud - what price would you sell your Cayenne for?

Here's the strategy - works every time:

1. Start telling your wife today about a bunch of great cars that you've found, but unfortunately they are all priced in the high 40s, low 50s. Sigh a bunch.

2. Tell her you found the perfect car - just what you want, except it's priced at $50k. Ask her to make an exception. Don't whine - just ask once.

3. Whether she says yes or no on step #2, come back the next day and tell her you can't believe that you came across an even better version of your dream car in Texas, and it's at least 8 grand less than any others you were looking at.

4. Tell her that even though you wanted to stick to a price in the 30s, it would be worth a few extra dollars to get the perfect car. In her mind, you're saving about 10 grand over the others. She'll be impressed by your willingness to compromise on price and keep her feelings in mind.

5. Call Bart and arrange a PPI, then fly down and drive it home. This way you save the transport costs as well.

Done deal - you can buy me a beer when you come to town to pick up your new sweet ride.
