Vehicle Description
The droptop exotic of your dreams is finally within reach. This
2001 Porsche 911 Cabriolet is loaded with extras and even has the
desirable six-speed stick! But all you really noticed was that this
low-mileage executive machine is now available at a middle
manager's price.
Finished in the iconic and bold Guards Red, this slick convertible
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 sheet metal is a super-slippery
design that reflects the significant gain in performance over the
decades. The way the light rolls off this sleek design also
highlights the superior fit and finish that comes from buying an
exotic Porsche. But more than just quality from the factory, you
can tell this car has been someone's baby. It's in the details like
the condition of the black electric folding roof and the optional
18-inch alloys that look like they've never done battle with a
curb.
This car was ordered with the convertible enthusiast in mind. The
tan leather interior complements the exterior red nicely to make
this one an instant standout. But more than just aesthetics, German
cars are some of the best at ergonomics. This 911 strikes the
perfect balance of being comfortable enough to drive every day, but
it's still instantly ready to attack the back roads when you are.
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.) The shifter is in the perfect place
for your right hand to instinctively want to always hold it. But
more than just a sports car, this one wants to remind you that it's
a premium vehicle with plenty of features. It includes power seats,
power locks, key-less entry, and cruise control. The stereo unit is
the upgraded AM/FM/CD unit that now includes Bluetooth and an iPod
input, so this Porsche can run with the best modern machines. A
modern classic also means modern safety features such as dual front
air bags, side air bags, and ABS. There's dual zone climate control
to keep you cool with the top down, and the front seats are even
heated to make sure you can go topless any time of year.
The original 3.4-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. 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. With the whole car averaging about 1,600 miles annually,
it should be no surprise that engine fires up easily, like a good
German precision machine should.
Complete with owner's manual, and service manual, 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!
