In the water cooled world of Porsche 911, the 996 series was the first. Two years in, the 996 Twin Turbo was launched, that was 2001 with aggressive wide body aerodynamics, functional air vents and huge 295/30-18 rear tires becoming an instant icon and is today an emerging classic. Even the purists have come to appreciate the 996 for its highly analog driving experience and relatively simple interior, two key sports car attributes that have been steadily lost in subsequent generations of 911s.
In the air cooled world of 911, it is not uncommon for excellent examples to be rolling on 100k, 200k even 300k miles; they are legendary for their durability. Porsche collectors and enthusiasts have no reason to fear the high mileage 911, and that now applies as one should expect, to the water cooled generations.
This Turbo is currently sitting on 147k miles and still serving up miles on a daily basis. It was purchased early this year in excellent mechanical condition sporting a few modifications added along the way including an exhaust system, Markski ECU tune and TechArt front bumper cover. The original black paint had numerous areas of failing clearcoat making this the perfect candidate to transform into the deliciously wrapped green machine that is today. The interior is in great shape and everything is in proper working order, no CEL's and fresh tires were just mounted on reconditioned and powder coated twists.
Not even four years ago you could find plenty of 996 Turbos in the $30k's, but not anymore. The 5 year average auction price stands at $60k and the average for sales recorded in the last 12 months is just over $70k. Buy this car, take care of it and enjoy it and if you should decide to sell it you will likely profit from it.
