Vehicle 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!!
