Description
Porsche 911 Carrera 2 997 Tiptronic
Fantastic car and true head-turner!
The good and great:
- Solid engine, regularly serviced every year with Porsche recommended oil and filters. I have owned for past 4yrs and it has never missed a beat.
- MOT'd until January 2027
- Cheaper tax due to pre-2006 registered (-half the cost each year!)
- New Stainless Steel exhaust back boxes - sounds sporty.
- New alternator.
- New engine mounts.
- Carrera S wheels, black.
- Carrera S brakes with yellow callipers.
- Carrera S twin exhaust tips, black.
- Heated seats.
- Pioneer touch screen head unit with Apple / Android CarPlay.
- Bose speakers.
- Tiptronic gearbox.
- LED headlight bulbs
- 997.2 front conversion.
- Later engine so no IMS issues.
- 3.6 engine so no worries about borescore - the 3.8 engines seem to be worse for this.
- K&N air filter.
- Black car but wrapped in a lovely white - looks fantastic in the sun!
- There is probably a lot more, I'm sure!
The less good, if being picky:
- Driver's door lock (external only) needs mechanical rod replacing but works fine from the inside
- One key
- Some scuffs and marks due to ages but does not detract from the beauty of the car.
- Cat car due to just cosmetic damage at the front which was fully repaired before my ownership and upgraded to 997.2 wirh working OEM LED DRLs!
- Has lots of history and documents but not complete - the quality of the car and the engine shows it has clearly been looked after throughout its life.
Selling as changed job and sadly need more of a commuter workhorse now.
Might sell with new Porsche diagnostics tool and some other Porsche merch if the price is right.
