Description
1998 Porsche 911 (996) Tiptronic S
A well-presented and increasingly sought-after early cable-throttle 996, offered with just 1 previous owner and a fantastic specification.
This example benefits from a full factory Aerokit and a range of desirable factory options, including:
18" Sport Classic wheels
3-spoke steering wheel
Full ruffled leather interior (front and rear)
PCM stereo with navigation
6-disc CD autochanger
Rear wiper
The car was main dealer serviced by its first owner, and has since been maintained by respected Porsche specialists during my ownership.
With long-term ownership in mind, I have invested circa 10,000 in preventative maintenance to ensure reliability and peace of mind. Key works include:
IMS bearing
Rear main seal (RMS)
Air-oil separator (AOS)
Water pump
Alternator
Power steering and brake pipes
Air conditioning condensers and pipework
Camshaft and crankshaft sensors
VarioCam solenoid
Pre-cat lambda / O2 sensors
Gearbox driveshaft seals
Full brake overhaul (Brembo discs, pads & parking shoes)
Front wheel bearings and drop links
Wheel alignment and geometry setup
The car has been serviced annually in my ownership and has passed its most recent MOT with no advisories.
Additional highlights:
94,000 miles (may increase slightly as the car is in use)
Extensive service history
2 keys, original manuals and stereo codes
Porsche Club GB valuation circa 18,000 (2022)
Car cover included
As expected for a well-used 27-year-old car, there are some stone chips and minor age-related marks, but overall it presents very well and drives exactly as it should.
This is an honest, well-maintained example of an early 996 with significant recent investment ready to be enjoyed.
Reluctant sale due to funding other projects.
