However popular, the model will never become a grey mouse. Not even when the bodywork is coloured Arktissilber metallic. The signature comes into its own extremely powerfully and thanks to a recent detailing the exterior is almost indistinguishable from new. Unlike other 996s from the 90s, the turn signals are white all around and the original wide-set 18″ GT3 rims fill the wheel arches perfectly. In the interior, we find only high-quality materials, including the popular 3-spoke steering wheel, a Premium Sound system from Harmann and the classic Porsche CR22 [Cassette] radio. Contrast can be found in the aluminum finish and white clocks. Where it is common nowadays to personalize certain elements when ordering a new Porsche, this 911 was already uniquely composed.
The optional sports or shell seats sit like a glove, are manually adjustable and heated. Comfort is also provided by Climate Control with air conditioning, on-board computer, electric convertible top and windows, heated and adjustable mirrors, power steering and xenon headlights. In terms of infotainment, an Alpine system has been installed, but this is no longer up-to-date and/or connected. In the back there are two full-fledged seats with three-point belts. The exhaust system was modified in 2019 with new stainless steel mufflers, which makes the 911 sound louder, especially at higher revs. The optional limited slip differential, in combination with the Anti-Slip Regulation, ensures better road holding.
This Porsche has a new price of € 115,033 and was initially produced for the German market, but was eventually delivered new in the Netherlands. The first owner drove it on a Belgian license plate until December 2008, due to business tax benefits. He kept it until August 2016 [99,153 km], after which the second owner first drove it for business for a few months and transferred it to private use in February 2017. However, he did not use it enough, which gave us the opportunity to add it to the collection. Under the heading ‚documents‘ on our website you will find detailed photos of the documentation. On request [due to privacy legislation] we can send an Excel overview, in which the history is worked out. All electronics work properly. The engine sounds silky smooth [without smoke development] even when starting cold and the gearbox shifts smoothly. The air conditioning gets cold quickly. The history is accident-free. The MOT is valid until June 28, 2025.
Maintenance was registered at 20,796km [16-5-2001], 38,593km [17-3-2003], 78,847km [1-6-2011], 90,489km [29-3-2013], 95,753km [13-10-2014], 99,157km [29-8-2016], 105,377km [28-6-2019] and 112,527km [24-3-2023]. The latter was a major service, including filters, spark plugs and brake fluid. Other recent work includes the condensers, 3rd brake light, battery, fresh gearbox oil and brake lines. Everything was done by dealers and specialists. The mounted Pirelli summer tires at the rear are as good as new, at the front they have approximately 80% profile [all with N-coding and recent DOT]. The brake discs and pads have at least 50% profile all around, based on the replacement period set by Porsche. Feel free to come and have a look!
