Item Interest

Long time BMW CCA member and PCA member and second long-term owner of this car. Purchased this 2001 996 Turbo in December 2013 after the original owner traded it into New Country Porsche in CT for a new Panamera.

Nice build with large leather/full leather package in black with grey stitching with an aluminum ebrake handle and shifter. Clean Carfax, Porsche dealer serviced since new (I have records since 2010) and maintenance is all up-to-date, even the 30k service is done. Garage kept, never driven when salt on roads or when temps have been below 45 degrees. Few small rock chips on the front end, only visible from within 3 feet. Original manuals, spare tire, tools and two transponder keys are available for the next owner. Beyond regular oil changes, of which there are many, an excerpt of other items in the history is below:

Reduced to $52,900. The first water-cooled 911 Turbo and one of the last analog 911 Turbos with the famed Mezger block.

Thank you! I enjoyed my four BMW's ('01 325xi, '02 X5 4.6is, '05 X3 3.0i, '08 550i) but this 911 Turbo is really something else. It's remarkably easy to drive, has fantastic sight lines, jaw-dropping performance - and mine is stock, very easy to put on a tune and take it to 500hp without breaking a sweat - and the interior, particularly the seats, are more comfortable than in any of my BMW's.

The Tiptronic S also isn't your typical slushbox automatic. I had been searching exclusively for a six-speed but thought I'd give this one a try due to the low mileage, Porsche dealer service history and only one prior owner and I'm glad that I did. Hard to put into words, but it has hundreds of shift maps and it's almost intuitive - it will hold a gear in a turn, stay a gear lower with revs up if you've been driving aggressively but also just as willing to tool around town in second gear. If you live in an area with any kind of traffic, it makes driving it any day far more enjoyable.

I had debated getting into an E46 M3, which I also think I would have enjoyed, but 415hp and 415 lb-ft of torque with these killer 959-derived looks is an opportunity I had to jump at.

With kids getting bigger, time to move on unfortunately, this is a current and future classic amongst 911's as one of the last with the famed Mezger block derived from the LeMans-winning GT1 car and one of the last analog 911's. I also wouldn't recommend the non-turbo 996's or 997's due to IMS and bore scoring issues. This is the one you want and a cheaper 911 Turbo to buy can easily cost you another $8-15K in the first 12-18 months of ownership if servicing hasn't been kept up.

A very nice step up, or change, from a M3 or for those seeking something different than BMW for a time knowing that you're more likely than not to make money while you own this car.
