Before I purchased the car, I paid for a PPI by an experienced porsche technician and it passed with recommendations to replace the RMS and the Brakes, which I did among others.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
19 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Hey guys, I am thinking about selling my Carrera. I love the car but to make a long story short, I would like some financial flexibility.
I bought this car around April of 2006 and have only put a few thousand miles on it since. It has remained covered in the garage all of the other time. Before I purchased the car, I paid for a PPI by an experienced porsche technician and it passed with recommendations to replace the RMS and the Brakes, which I did among others.
The previous owner was a dealer and used it as his personal car. He purchased it from a dealer as well(his buddy). I only mention this to put out any suspicion from the number of owners in a few years time. Being dealers, they registered the car as their own but as you could expect, they were willing to sell for the right price.
Since purchasing the car, I first did a lot of maintenance to get the car in tip top shape. I documented all of the work for the most part which can be found here allthough the pictures have been removed(i still have them). I used OEM porsche special tools for the repairs and did the work at a high-end performance shop while i still worked there.

The car will come with an OEM Porsche car cover, manual, and key plus the stock parts that i still have and any reciepts.
The car currently has 72,000 miles on it and has never had any body or paint work. Paint is it solid shape with a few light scratches, but nothing too absurd for a 8 year old car. As we all no, black shows everything!
The car is equipped with 18in Sport Designs and the Factory GT3 Aerokit. It also has the COMPLETE factory Carbon Fiber interior, white guage faces, on board computer,full leather interior, power with memory driver seat, power passenger seat, etc...
I plan on having the front bumper resprayed before selling the car unless of course it is agreed upon otherwise. I drive predominately on the highway and it has seen some sandblasting and rock chips.
I am asking $34,000 for the car complete with accessories.
And here are a few pictures and I have more as well:
Gator,
I remember you getting the car, you were like a kid on Christmas
Good luck with the sale! Do you plan to get back in the (Porsche) game eventually?
Justin
Haha that I was...
Yes I will be back in the game sooner or later. Im not exactly sure what the future is going to bring here in the next year or so, so I think its the best move.
I rarely get to drive the car and I feel like I am "wasting" the car.
I bought the car with intentions of going Forced Induction, and I put the money into the car to be ready for that, but I have a couple of opportunities that are going to sidetrack that idea. Rather than having the car lose money under it's pretty cover in the garage, I figured I would put it on the market.
Of course I am in no hurry to sell, but it's on the market none the less
That sounds like a great price for a true aero!!! Too many refer to aero cars that aren't real aeros, don't have the wing, etc. Even worse, fiberglass parts..................
man i was looking for a black 99 with as much tasteful mods as possible..... yours really fit the bill and the price.....danm..... patience, i keep telling myself NO IMPULSE........ although i did wait 33 years to get the porsche i have now.......
Wow, that is a good price for the car considering all the mods you have put into that baby. Good luck on the sale, someone's gonna get a hell of a car for that price.
I waited long enough to find a Factory Aero and paid a premium for it...
Im hoping someone is the same way!
As for the options, I dont know exactly what all the codes mean but i do have a picture of the label so people can see them if they want. I know that it is full leather, aero kit, carbon fiber, power seats. Stereo is irrelevant since it has been changed. No electronic aids either...
Please feel free to PM me with any questions!
good luck with the sale...yours seem to the be the lost twin brother of my car....mine is a 99 black on black also...mine is loaded with Techart goodies and has around 39,000 miles...I don't think there are any more than 5 of our cars left...
...mine is a Carrera 4...
Don't lower your price...it is more than fair.
your car looks sweet~
at one point a few friends and I all had the 996 aero's. we bought them all at the same time but later moved on to our different tastes. looking at the great feedback you're getting i'm sure you'll get a good price and the buyer will get a great looking car.
seriously, where were you guys when I was selling mine? sold mine 2 years ago for less than that with much less mileage and many more options. i am sure prices have gone up since then.
I really don't want to sell it but know that I should...
If it doesnt sell then I won't be dissapointed. I have responded to all inquiries but I am not a "motivated" seller due to the love for the car...
I allready have a mod-list for the car If i keep it. If the car isn't sold by mid-May I will probably keep it forever.
Thanks for everyones kind words!
