2003 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet (996)

This car is being sold with no reserve, so someone will get a great car at a great price. I'll probably lose a bundle on it, but it’s just not being used. It's had a Hartech Engine Rebuild at ~94,000 miles on the clock. It comes with the factory removable Hardtop and wind deflector. The paint appears even in colour. I believe the nose may have been blown over at some time, but there's no documented evidence. Good general condition all round, but this is 23 years old now, so please don’t expect perfection. There’s a small area of corrosion about the size of 2 penny coins on the passenger rear wheel arch - please see the detailed photograph in the gallery. All panel gaps are even and true. Classic 911 layout! The information system is dated, but upgrades are available at a reasonable cost. Drives fantastically as you would expect from a 911. The brakes are good and it stops with no pulling to either side. The headlights remain nice and clear, and all glass is clear with no chips or scratches. The trim is in good condition with wear levels being appropriate for a >100k, 23 year old car. The 5 spoke alloy wheels are in reasonable condition, with Pirelli P-Zero tyres all round. A good amount of tread remains on all 4. In good condition with no excessive rips or tears. Starts and drives with no known faults. Gear change are smooth and precise in both full automatic and manual modes. As previously stated, the info system/stereo could probably do with an upgrade. The ignition key seems to have a spring issue, and needs to be turned back ever so slightly once started. 2 keys are present, though 1 requires a new battery. The central locking/windows/mirrors/roof all work fine.

Last major service was in July 23, but only ~7k miles have been covered since.

Factory Hardtop and wind deflector included.

--------------------------------------------- From Trade Classics: This is a Market Auction listing, meaning we have not visited and photographed the car - instead the seller has supplied the images and written the description. However we’ve done all our usual seller checks, including photo ID that matches the V5, and also actioned a history check on the vehicle - this is a professional check operated by HPi that will highlight if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or have any outstanding finance - note, this does not include a mileage history check. Viewings are welcomed, so please get in touch with us via the 'contact us' page - we just need to speak to you first on the phone, have you register on the site, and also send in valid photo ID before confirming a suitable time to visit. Like all our auctions, if there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bids, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - the Buyer's Premium is not refundable in any instance, just like a traditional auction house. Front dampers and springs were changed in 2023 at the time of the Hartech work, and there's been additional brake line work in March of this year - see photo. Leather steering wheel with the integrated "manual" gear change controls. The car has the speed limiter/cruise control options.
