Model history:

The fact that the air-cooled 911 heart had to make way for a water-cooled six-cylinder boxer engine for the first time in the 996 series caused a storm of indignation among the cast-iron 911 faction, as did the fact that the 2+2-seater shared around 40 percent of its model range with the Boxster (Type 986), which was developed in parallel. However, the development potential of the air-cooled boxer engine had long since been exhausted. With the new, extremely complex water boxer, modern four-valve technology, more power with acceptable fuel consumption and compliance with stricter emissions standards were possible. In addition to the Coupé and Targa, a completely open variant of the 996 was again offered: The new 911 Cabrio no longer had a bead when open - the top disappears completely under a flap.

Mileage

191,000 kilometers can be seen on the digital speedometer of this Porsche 996 Cabriolet: The last checkbook entry is at 178,000 kilometers. Due to a partially almost complete checkbook and the available history, this mileage can be tracked according to the seller. There is a gap between 140,000 and 180,000 kilometers, as the Porsche was moved very little for some time during that period. According to the previous owner, maintenance during this period was carried out partly independently by the master.

Engine

In the rear works a water-cooled 3.4-liter six-cylinder boxer engine, which delivers 300 hp via a 6-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels. The last oil change with oil filter took place 3 months ago.

The

cabin filter and air filter were also changed and according to the seller no abrasion was detected (pictures available) - the engine runs perfectly and as it should and without oil consumption according to the current owner.

Underbody:

Considering the total mileage of the convertible, the underbody can be attested a good state of preservation as no inconsistencies can be detected on the underside of this 911. The seller also mentions that he has driven over 10,000 kilometers with the convertible and that the Porsche has had no oil consumption during this time. A good as well as maintained overall condition, Special equipment, the color combination in blue / blue and the possibility to open the roof at any time, make this 996 from the year 2000 very interesting.
