For Sale: 2002 Porsche Carrera in Lithia Springs, Georgia

Looking to own a classically beautiful, true driver's car that's still in its mechanical prime? Here's the one for you. Carrying the Porsche badge that's been synonymous with great performance for decades, this 2002 Porsche Carrera features signature Porsche design and engineering that's sure to put a smile on your face, whether you're behind the wheel or just gazing in admiration as it sits in your garage. This sterling specimen will arrive at its next destination with a healthy stack of maintenance receipts on hand to testify as to the time and expense that's gone into keeping it in top form.

The exterior wears a classy yet understated shade of silver - the original factory color -that's in fine shape, having been refreshed only a little while back. This is just one of those iconic cars that you can't help but stare approvingly at. It's timeless, yet despite having debuted 17 years ago, still appears very modern. With its low to the ground stance, you can instantly picture its road carving potential when you first lay eyes on it. It seems like it's moving even when standing still and yet without undue flash or a jarring angle to be found. Minimal badging on the exterior - limited to that instantly recognizable Porsche emblem looming over the front bumper - pairs with some tastefully subtle modifications to confer a distinctive look without messing with the heralded factory aesthetics. This classic will easily pass muster when viewed at close range - fresh rubber seals surround crystal clear cabin glass and the overall exterior alignment is spot on.

That effortless awesomeness follows you right inside. The black leather interior remains in great shape and features a pair of high-backed, adjustable power bucket seats that hold the promise of plenty of support to go along with their comfort as you negotiate hairpin turns. 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 gauges - all of which are in good working order - a reminder that this is a car meant for sheer driving pleasure. The creature comforts are all there, too, including an AM/FM/Cassette stereo that pairs with a CD changer to provide your driving soundtrack, power locks and windows, remote door openers and an A/C system that blows nice and cold. Both the front storage and rear engine compartment have a fresh, gently-used appearance.

Factor in Porsche's reputation for creating world-class performance machines that can also easily handle the rigors of frequent driving in everyday conditions and the 54,000 this '02 has logged puts it still squarely in its mechanical prime. It's powered by a 3.6 liter H6 engine that churns out 320 horsepower and pairs with a manual 6 speed transmission renowned for its precision and smoothness - propelling a car weighing scarcely over 3000 lbs., this drivetrain translates into exhilarating performance on roads of all types. With an independent suspension up front and multilink in back, this Carrera is an outstanding corner carver and its abilities in that regard are at their best via new sway bars and springs. Power steering makes all that agility easy to manage, while power disc brakes at all four corners bring this German masterpiece to prompt stops as needed. The upgraded 19" Porsche wheels look razor sharp and now wear sizable 295s in back for maximum grip on the asphalt.

Here's your chance to own a world-class performance car ready to provide driving excitement for many more miles. This 2002 Porsche Carrera offers classic Porsche looks and quality at an attainable price. Call today!
