Vehicle Description
Affordably priced, interestingly upgraded, and exceptionally
maintained... this 2003 Porsche 911 Targa is the modern classic
you're been searching the whole internet to find.
This is a very special generation for the Targa. Porsche finally
figured out how to create a version that offered the entire roof
open to the world without altering the iconic 911 silhouette. In
this 996 generation Porsche's design remains in-tune with one of
the most celebrated automotive icons ever, but the sheetmetal is a
super-slipper design that reflects the significant gain in
performance over the decades. You can see it quite clearly thanks
to the Arctic Silver Metallic paint that still remains quite nice
today - a testament to both this car's level of care and premium
German quality. In fact, this one appears stock on the outside
right down to the 18-inch factory alloys. There is a surprise
hidden up front, but we'll get to that in a moment.
German cars are some of the best at ergonomics, and the 996 proves
it the moment you sit in the contoured black leather bucket seats.
Thoroughly modern, comfortable enough to drive every day, and still
aimed at enthusiastic drivers, it's everything you'd expect from
one of the world's most storied marques. The three-spoke sports
steering wheel gives a clear view to the full gauge package (the
tach is the most prominent piece in these competition-inspired
Porsches.) As expected from a premium Porsche, this one comes
loaded. It includes features like power seats, power windows, power
locks, keyless entry, cruise control, power steering, and ice-cold
air conditioning. A modern classic also means modern safety
features such as dual front air bags, side air bags, and ABS. This
one has been upgraded to a Kenwood AM/FM/CD subwoofer stereo with
aux inputs and Bluetooth, so you can plug in all the best modern
equipment to this thumpin' system. Plus, you might have noticed the
radar detector mounted discreetly in the front of the car, and the
readouts are also subtly mounted in the interior for true stealthy
cruising.
The original 3.6-liter is a great companion for the road. Tuned to
make 315 horsepower, its distinctive boxer motor sound and
performance exhaust will have you downshifting the Tiptronic
five-speed automatic under every overpass. This engine fires up
easily, which is another hallmark of German precision and another
sign of all the right care (we have plenty of maintenance receipts
to prove it, too.) The feeling on the road is an experience you'll
love thanks to Porsche's fully independent sports suspension. Add
in four-wheel vented disc brakes and Bridgestone Potenza tires, and
this is a truly an unbeatable package.
Compete with owner's manual, you never thought a modern Porsche 911
Targa could be this affordable. Now that you see it's an
exceptional example with great upgrades, well then, you know how
quick you have to act to take it home. Call now!!!
