Here are the details on my car:
I have decided to sell my 2001 Polar Silver Porsche 996 Turbo 6spd with 42,8xx miles. Polar Silver is one of the rarest colors to come on a Porsche being exclusive to the 993 and 996 Turbo models..The standard silver you see on 996 turbo's is arctic silver. Polar Silver is defined by the hint of pearl and has a slight bluish tint in certain light which really sets the car apart from the other factory colors. This car has been maintained at the highest of standards and has been in the hands of only car enthusiasts which becomes apparent when seen in person.
I have driven this car daily with no issues, even driving it cross-country to bring it home when I bought the car. A major concern I have and most have when buying a modded car is reliability - the performance mods on this car are tasteful and conservative, producing a nice improvement over a stock without going to extremes that effect reliability. One thing that really drew me to the car initially was that it had all the supporting mods to move up to big turbos and power if I chose without the risk associated with buying a highly modified car. The new owner can confidently drive this car as is and never worry about reliabilty, or cheaply take it to the next level since the majority of things needed are already done. Below is a list of detailed modifications installed only by professionals with no expense spared. To duplicate the modifications below on a stock 996 turbo would cost you well over $30,000 in parts and labor.
Maintenence:
All records for service (all completed and up to date)
Clutch switched at 20K under warranty
New pads, rotors (less than 7k on brakes)
Recent oil change (December 09...less than 1k miles)
Clutch Accumulator, Slave Cylinder, and Ignition replaced less 2k miles ago (these are by far the most common maint/failure issue on a 911 Turbo. This will likely cost you $1,500 to fix if a car has not had it done in the last couple years but I have already taken care of it for the new owner. **All maintenance during my ownership was done by Ruf in Dallas, TX - if you are unfamiliar with them they specialize in 911 turbos and are one of the most renowned Porsche tuners in the world.**
Notables:
No scratches, no dents, no paint work (beyond GT2 parts & blending obviously), no accidents.
VIN #WP0AB29921S687130
The car does have some rockchips/scratches on the front bumper, a few on lower hood. Not noticeable from more than a few feet away. Also the Gemballa decals pictured on the car are removable.
Do not underestimate the cost of wear items on a car with similar mileage - new clutch, tires, brakes, etc. can easily force you to drop $5-$6k in a 'similar' car that has not done them recently like I have. This car needs nothing at all for quite awhile!
Rather than list it higher and deal with a lot of back and forth, I am asking $48,000 FIRM and am not interested in anything less at this time. If you do not think you are interested at my price please do not waste my time!. My number is 469 - six eight two -3072 or you can email me at awelwood at gmail dot com. I will respond much quicker to that than to PM's as I only check them once a day or so. I am selling because I've decided to get some american muscle, I have nothing requiring me to sell and I'm happy to be patient if I have to, its a great car and like I said I drive it every day!
