2001 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

Description

If you're looking to own a classically beautiful, true driver's car in the prime of its automotive life, here's the one for you. Carrying the Porsche badge that's been synonymous with great performance for decades, this 2001 911 Carrera Cabriolet features an unbeatable color combination, paired with the signature Porsche engineering that will put a smile on your face, whether you're behind the wheel or just gazing in admiration as it sits in your garage.

Everyone may have a favorite color in everyday life, but tell them to picture a given car and the image they conjure up will always include a color specific to that model. Speak the words "Porsche Carrera Cabriolet" and this car carries the color combo you'd likely picture, though if you know Porsches, your expectations would be tempered by the knowledge that it's a color hard to come by. That original factory Lapis Blue still retains its great look and effortlessly draws you in. Its look is timeless, yet still very much modern. With its low to the ground stance, you can instantly picture its road carving potential when you first lay eyes on it. It looks like it's moving even when standing still and yet without undue flash nor a jarring angle to be found. And, unlike many convertibles, it retains an impressive appearance whether its power convertible top - still well-aligned and smoothly fitted - is up or down.

That effortless look of quality and design follows you right inside. It's got a great looking interior – understated but functional everywhere you look. The Savannah Beige color is the perfect complement to its blue exterior, and yet the car's sheer aesthetic appeal never distracts you from the notion that this Carrera is made to be driven. The seamless effect of the beige seats and dash against the slightly lighter beige carpeting is undeniable and yet it's no coincidence that, as you peer forward through the steering wheel, the tachometer is in its signature "front and center" position, and presides over the rest of the well-designed gauges - all in good working order. The high-backed, adjustable power bucket seats promise to provide plenty of support to go along with their comfort as you negotiate hairpin turns. It's got the creature comforts, too - an AM/FM/CD system to provide your driving soundtrack, power locks and windows and an A/C system that blows nice and cold. The rear window defogger is a convenient feature as well. Both the front storage and rear engine compartment have a fresh, carefully-used appearance.

At the heart of any performance car is its drivetrain and this one lives up to expectations. The 3.4 liter, fuel-injected H6 powerplant provides 300hp and 258ft lbs. of torque. Paired with a manual 6 speed transmission (this IS a driver's car, after all) and propelling a car weighing scarcely over 3000 lbs., this translates into exhilarating performance on roads of all types. With its signature precise Porsche power steering and AWD there to provide outstanding traction around turns, that smile isn't likely to leave your face any time soon as you grip the wheel and let this beauty take you on a grand adventure. The entire drivetrain is in its absolute prime as well – with just under 47,000 miles and benefitting from having its IMS bearing and intermediate shaft replaced just 200 miles ago. And when it's time to come to a stop, the 4 wheel disc brakes sitting behind those distinctive 18" Porsche wheels are more than up to the task.

With maintenance records on hand to provide testimony as to the care this car has received, here's your chance to own a true, world-class performance convertible. Classic Porsche looks and quality at a good price. Call now!!
