A full list of options is located in the photo gallery.
This Turbo retains its original 3.6L twin-turbocharged Mezger engine, which is capable of producing 420HP. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. Overall, the 996 Turbo model highlights supercar performance while also providing a very civil and enjoyable ride quality on the street. This example is said to be in excellent running and driving condition with all service up-to-date including a recent fluid and filter change.
The sale will include a master key, valet key, original factory books, DME report and a clean Carfax.

@friesenandy Andy, thanks for the question. I do not have an explanation for the driving habits of the original owner of this car. The car was taken out and inspected every year since new so we know if was driven annually, even if only a few miles. The car has been serviced and inspected several times since 2010 and was also serviced and inspected since I have had it. As would most, I do not believe that low mileage would have any negative impact on the car. If this car had 3,000 miles on it, would we ask that question? This is a great car and a great price point. Don't hesitate on this one. Good luck bidding!
This car was quite frequently driven until 2010. After 2010 we are looking at 2000 miles total. Any explanation for this? Having the car "sit" for almost 10 years, can this have a negative impact on the car?
Good morning all. Thank you again for considering the purchase of this 911 Turbo. It is truly a terrific car. I have still not received the requested service history. I was supposed to receive the service history yesterday from Porsche Warrington. I am still waiting and will be following up this morning. As soon as I receive it I will post it. In the meantime, please refer to the CARFAX history to see the majority, if not all of the history.
I will be monitoring this auction closely today and will do my best to respond quickly and accurately to all questions. You may also direct email me or call if you have an immediate concern.
Thank you all and good luck bidding!
@Russbaribault I was hoping to hear from you last week so I could show you the car last weekend as you requested. Please contact me directly to set something up as it seems you are still interested in the car.
As for service records, this is one of several cars in my inventory. It flew through the pre-purchase inspection and is in excellent condition, not to mention that is has had one local owner--who is known for keeping his cars well maintained--and has very low mileage. I did contact the dealer when it first came in but did not get an immediate response. Also, the Carfax report lists plenty of service history. Given those circumstances, I did not see a need to go further at the time I originally listed the car for sale.
That said, at your suggestion, I called the dealership this morning at 9:00 and spoke to service. They have promised to fax me any and all records available for this car by the end of the day. If/when they show up, I will immediately post them. I encourage you to review the Carfax report which is posted in its entirety. It shows everything that was done to the car. I'm happy to answer any other questions. Thank you and good luck bidding!

This car has been on eBay for months....why hasn’t the seller already obtained them?
@oelboxer As you pointed out, in Pennsylvania dealerships' service departments have been allowed to stay open throughout the shutdown because vehicle service is considered an essential business. However, some dealerships and service centers have chosen to close during this time for various reasons. Not every dealer was opened through the shutdown and Porsche Warrington has remained closed for service ad sales. I did find out this morning that it is likely the dealership will open for both sales and service tomorrow within the guidelines set by our state government. I will attempt to contact them tomorrow to continue trying to get the service history. In fact, all Pennsylvania dealers have been allowed to complete online-only sales for almost two weeks now. Whatever I can get from them, I will forward to PCARMARKET as soon as I have it. Feel free to contact them yourself if you desire. Thank you and good luck bidding.
Unless there is something unique about your dealer’s service department, they are open. As an essential business, service departments remain open while showrooms are closed until further notice.

@Ehrenbragg IMHO I agree that this is a terrific investment piece. One-owner, low mileage, classic colors, excellent condition--all the makings of a great collector/enthusiast vehicle while you still don't feel bad about driving it a bit. Good luck to all and that's for looking!
@Russbaribault Thank you for your interest. You may DM me to arrange something. We are under very strict guidance at this time and are very limited as to what we can do in-person. I will be as flexible as Pennsylvania rules allow.
Is it possible to see the car this weekend?
Bid in the amount of $15,000
@skalra At this time there are zero mechanical issues with the car. It was fully inspected when it came into inventory and needed nothing. Oil service was completed just before it came in, the tires measured 10/32" front and 8/32" rear so there is plenty of tread, and the brakes measured 7/32" on all four corners. Without the history, I am not able to say what has or has not been done, but as it sits, the car drives perfectly as it should and no issues exist currently. I can say that judging by the current condition and what I was told about the previous owner, there was no expense spared in servicing the car meaning the previous owner fixed whatever went wrong, if anything. If I were to fault the car for anything, I would point out a bit of shrinkage in just one place--the leather covering the gauge cluster. I appreciate your interest. This is a terrific piece of machinery. Good luck bidding and thank you.
@radua Thanks for the question. At this time, all I have for this car is one service receipt from several years ago. I know the car was purchased new and serviced at Porsche Warrington locally. I have been trying to get records from the dealer but their service department has been closed due to COVID-19. I have a build sheet but not a sticker. A COA can be ordered for the vehicle if the buyer chooses.
This is a good, solid investment piece.
Hi, any known issues w/ the car? What components, if any have been replaced, for example, clutch accumulator, gear shifter cables, turbo shut-off valves, deck-lid spoiler mechanism, ignition switch, sun visor mirror assembly, shocks, etc., etc.
Having previously owned an almost exact model, these are the things that normally need replacement.
Thanks. GLWA...
Since this was a one owner, do you have all the maintenance records, COA, window sticker, etc.? Thanks.
