Vehicle Description
CPR Classic is delighted to offer this 2001 Porsche 996 Turbo
finished in Black with a Black leather interior. This example was
purchased new from a dealer in Saint Petersburg, Florida, and was
shipped to its first and essentially only owner in Newport Beach,
California, where it resided for over 20 years.
The original owner of this 996 Turbo was as meticulous as they come
for maintenance and record-keeping. The records begin with the
original Purchase agreement, a copy of the window sticker, and
photos of the day the car was shipped new from the dealer in
Florida to California. The service records are 100 percent complete
from new. From 2001 to 2007, the car was regularly serviced by
Newport Porsche Audi to include all scheduled major and annual
maintenance.
Beginning in 2007, the car was serviced exclusively by the renowned
Laguna Hills-based Porsche shop Vision Motorsports. Vision
Motorsports maintained the car from 2007 to 2020. Every service
record from both Newport Porsche and Vision Motorsports is included
with the sale of the vehicle and covers the timeframe from original
delivery through the end of the original owner's tenure in 2021.
There are over 40 service records included.
Unfortunately, in the late summer of 2021, the original owner
passed away, and the car was purchased from his estate by a
long-time friend who resides in Los Angeles. The car remained in
the Venice area of Los Angeles with the second owner for several
months before CPR Classic acquired the car. In late 2021 prior to
arriving at CPR, the car was serviced at Fantasy Motorsports, where
new brake pads and sensors were installed along with a fluid
service.
Upon arrival at CPR Classic, the car was thoroughly inspected and
then received a detailed paint correction to remove minor oxidation
and surface scratches that black paint tends to develop.
Factory options on this 996 Turbo are as follows:

The Porsche 996 Turbo is widely regarded as the best "bang for your
buck" in the Porsche market. The combination of the legendary
Mezger engine with twin turbos producing 415hp and a 6-Speed Manual
gearbox make the 996 Turbo a thrilling and unbelievably robust
machine from top to bottom. The 996 cars, particularly more special
variants such as Turbos and GT3s, are finally starting to receive
the attention they deserve within the market. Because of this, the
996 Turbo not only remains an outstanding 911 to own from a cost
standpoint but also a car that will likely see continued
appreciation over the coming years. This is a must-consider example
if you are in the market for a fun, fast 911 that will be
effortless to maintain and a joy to own.
