1999 Porsche 911 Carrera

Description

You probably never thought you'd see the day that you could purchase the Porsche 911 of your dreams for the price of a Toyota Camry. But the deeper you dig into this 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera with the great color, six-speed manual, and ultra low mileage, and you'll realize this is a fleeting opportunity at a true gem.

Finished in the iconic and bold Guards Red, this slick coupe represents the best of Porsche design. After all, the 996 generation remained in-tune with one of the most celebrated automotive icons ever, but the sheetmetal is a super-slippery design that reflects the significant gain in performance over the decades. So the more aggressive silhouette is only furthered by the finish of the red paint - a testament to both this car's level of care and premium German quality. In fact, this one carries the perfect amount of added sporty presence and flair without deviating from the original winning formula. You can see it in places like the clear front and side lighting package as well as the shining optional 18-inch factory alloys.

German cars are some of the best at ergonomics, and the 996 proves it the moment you sit in the contoured black leather bucket seats. Thoroughly modern, comfortable enough to drive every day, and still aimed at enthusiastic drivers, it's everything you'd expect from one of the world's most storied marques. The leather-wrapped sports steering wheel gives a clear view to the full gauge package (the tach is the most prominent piece in these competition-inspired Porsches.) As expected from a premium Porsche, this one comes loaded. It includes features like power seats, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, cruise control, power steering, a carbon fiber gearshift knob, power sunroof, and ice-cold air conditioning. A modern classic also means modern safety features such as dual front air bags and ABS.

The original 3.6-liter is a great companion for the road. Tuned to make 296 horsepower, its distinctive boxer motor sound and performance exhaust are true marvels. You get complete control over this with a six-speed manual transmission (yes, it's NOT a Tiptronic!) That means downshifting through your favorite corners and blipping the throttle to make sure you're in total control of the power band. It feels terrific on your favorite "secret" road thanks to features like Porsche's fully independent sports suspension, four-wheel vented disc brakes, and the grip of Dunlop performance tires. This is a pure speed machine, but that's only half of this car's story. The 996 generation was a true shift to making this into an everyday driver, too. So it shifts smoothly at low speed and idles through commuter traffic. And with the whole car averaging less than 2,000 miles a year, it should be no surprise that engine fires up easily, like a good German precision machine should.

Complete with plenty of original manuals and maintenance records, the Porsche of your dreams is ready to be a reality. Of course at this affordable price, it won't be waiting very long. Call now!!
