The Porsche 911 Carrera needs no introduction, and this 996-generation 3.6 Carrera Tiptronic offers a particularly accessible entry point into the world of 911s. The vendor has owned this 2003 model for more than a year, after purchasing it from an elderly lady custodian in Oxford. They report it has a comprehensive service history including servicing and MOT details, plus engine and gearbox maintenance. Believed to be a matching-numbers car, this Porsche 911 has received a new exhaust and has also been cosmetically refreshed by a front bumper respray. With a credible 122,000 miles on the clock, both engine and automatic transmission are described by the current owner as being in ‘excellent' condition, while bodywork, paintwork and the full leather interior are deemed to be ‘average'.
The Porsche 911 996 was a ground-breaking model for the German sports car firm – the first-ever water-cooled Porsche 911 since the series was introduced back in the 1960s. A brilliantly-conceived car, it was a truly modern 911 that still had the rear-engined character of the original, but with much-needed modern refinements and a big lift in everyday usability. This 2003 model is a later generation with the larger 3.6-litre engine, as opposed to the launch 3.4-litre, and it benefits from many of the ongoing reliability updates Porsche introduced through the years. Right now, the 996-era Porsche 911 is increasingly being seen as a future classic collectable, with values tipped to start increasing from here, just as they did for the early 964-generation model. Now is a great time to get onto the ladder before prices start going up again!
In summary:
· 2003 model that was previously owned by an elderly lady
· Extensive file of receipts
· Excellent engine and gearbox, and very well-priced
