Porsche 911 996 Carrera 2 Xenon headlights Sports seats from 1st hand (2000)

Vehicle description

Model history:

When Porsche laid down the keel of the 993 series in 1997, an outcry of indignation went through the ranks of the so-called "cast-iron", for whom fan cooling and round headlights always went above all else in the 997. But with the new 9-seater, four-valve technology with two overhead camshafts was used for the first time. And the water cooling was comprehensible from a technical point of view, as this technology could be used to further expand the range of services. As a drive type, you could choose between rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, between coupé, Targa or convertible.

General information about the vehicle:

In this auction a Porsche 911 of the 996 series from the year 2000 can be purchased: It is a classic Carrera, which is a Japanese import and carries the VIN WPOZZZ99ZYS603190. According to the seller, this Porsche has only 1 holder and the history of this sports car can be proven completely - even the so-called matching numbers are available. A new HU and a full acceptance are of course taken over by the owner before the sale, so that you can start directly.

Exterior colour/varnish/body:

Externally, this Carrera is actually classically kept in silver, only the combination with the interior exudes extravagance. Repainting never took place on this Porsche 911, according to the seller's information - as a result, the sports car still wears its first paint. Therefore, a few traces of use - caused by use and the age of the vehicle - can be found on the exterior. For a detailed overview of the exterior condition, we refer to the series of pictures of the vehicle.

Exterior rims/brakes/chassis:

Original 5-spoke Porsche rims in the size of 18 inches together with tyres from the manufacturer Michelin from the production year 2018/2019 in the dimensions of 225/40 on the front axle and 285/35 on the rear axle ensure the further visual appearance of the sports car. The seller attests to the brakes a condition of 50-70%, in the area of the chassis according to the current owner no deficits can be detected.

Interior:

A red colour can be found throughout the interior of the Porsche Coupé: the footwell carpet, the full leather seats, the door panels and the leather-covered dashboard are kept in this colour as well as the 3-spoke leather steering wheel and the automatic selector lever as well as the handbrake lever. Power windows, electrically adjustable seats and air conditioning are included, as is a Pioneer display radio. More details on the scope of equipment and the state of preservation of the interior can be found in the pictures.

Mileage

6 slightly nested instruments - which are backed by white dials - hold important information in the driver's cockpit. The digital speedometer shows a mileage of 62,050 kilometres, the total mileage of the 996 Convertible can be proven on the basis of a complete checkbook. All instruments in the interior prove to be fully functional.

Engine

The four-camshaft six-cylinder boxer engine with water cooling generates 320 hp, in the engine compartment it remains visually almost hidden. The 5-speed automatic transmission called Tiptronic ensures fast gear changes in this 996 Coupé, which can also be carried out directly on the steering wheel if desired. The owner notes that in 2019 a final service took place.

Subsoil:

The current owner of this Porsche 911 describes the condition of the underbody as rustproof. Although the new 911 presented in 1997 initially triggered an outcry from traditionalists, we have of course known better for a long time, because Porsche had no other choice: air-cooled neither the stricter exhaust gas regulations nor the demands for further increasing engine power could be met. In this Porsche 996 Carrera Coupé from the year of construction 2000, the excellent colour combination of exterior + interior as well as the generally maintained condition and the full service history catch the eye.
