Finished in Midnight Blue Metallic over a Savannah Beige full leather interior, this 2001 Porsche 996 Carrera Coupe features a 6-speed manual transmission paired with its 3.4-liter flat-six engine. It came factory equipped with optional Sport Suspension, 18” Sport Design wheels, and power Sport Seats with crested headrests along with extended leather trim. A genuine Aerokit exterior package was installed under prior ownership as well as an upgraded LN Engineering IMS bearing. Acquired by its current owner on PCARMARKET in 2019, this Carrera is now being offered for auction out of New York showing approximately 64k miles on the odometer.
The exterior is finished in Midnight Blue Metallic and features an Aerokit package including a GT3-style front fascia, flared rocker panels, and fixed rear wing. It rides on optional 18” Sport Design wheels and was specified without a rear model designation from the factory. The hood is believed to have been previously refinished and some cracks are noted on the front bumper as well as a scrape on the lower driver’s side rocker panel and general signs of road-going wear throughout. The Michelin tires are also recommended for replacement, detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
Inside, this 996 features premium Savannah Beige full leather upholstery including heated power-operated Sport Seats with Porsche crested headrests. Optional extended leather upholstery also covers the ignition lock surround, speaker grilles, sun visors, center console, instrument surround, center air vent bracket, dashboard trim strip, dashboard side air vent, and Airbag module. Other options include a sound system, CD compartment, Litronic headlamps with washers, an onboard computer, and a Porsche CDR-32 radio. The lower driver’s seat bolster is torn, and some other signs of wear are visible throughout the cabin. All gauges and accessories are said to remain fully functional.
A naturally aspirated 3.4-liter flat-six engine delivers up to 296 HP and 258 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. Factory optional Sport Suspension provides improved handling and a 10mm decrease in ride height. An LN Engineering IMS bearing retrofit was carried out under prior ownership along with replacements of the clutch, rear main seal, and air/oil separator. Maintenance under current ownership included routine oil changes as well as the replacement of the coolant expansion tank and driver’s window regulator.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, two keys, a valet key, and a clean title (lien).

@Petroli @Adam I love it. Intake and X pipe and it’s perfect!
@Panda very cool man! you get it completely then! Once you have one of these you're part of a group of others that have them too
Rear spoilers are of course for downforce. But the aero makes this one fly.
Call the cops! Theft in progress
Bid in the amount of $31,000
I have this car in black/black.
Purely art that moves. Xaa is it!
@Petroli @Adam this art form is carried into the cabin. Just look at the door handles the same shape. Way to go Pinky!
@Mercyhealth it Really is art@
Bid in the amount of $30,750
The 996.1 rear aero is not a spoiler but a piece of art work that just happens to be on the tail of a 911.

@007bc bid now then ;)
@Petroli @Adam Yes, I was considering replacing the seats entirely
@vrhooptie thanks for your comment - I have also heard around ~$2K - however - a good shop can sew in that one piece - a colleague of mine has done that before and has been a car dealer for 20 years and that can save you from spending more - they aren't carbon buckets though as fyi - they are the factory sport seats with the hard backs
Bid in the amount of $23,750
@vrhooptie Thanks for the info. It will need to be done.
@007bc you can probably repair for around 2k. Replacement will be over 4k for seat covers which does not make sense imo.
Bid in the amount of $23,500
Anyone know how much it will cost to reupholster the seat? Or will this require purchasing new carbon buckets to replace it?

Welcome to the last day of my auction everyone! Good luck to all - whoever wins this car will love it! GLWA
@Googlewireless Hi I responded you should see the message if not feel free to comment
I sent a direct message with some questions yesterday. Thanks
@Jacksunoco thanks for comment. Very special car thanks for your interest.
Nice car , still 3.4 with less than 300 horsepower will still give you a nice feel . Overall looks nice at this price point. But with no reserve you never know.
@Googlewireless what I was told when buying the car was that it was a dealer installed aerokit so in that case I believe it would be exact porsche parts. I can’t attest to when the aerokit was put on with 100% certainty however I’m very very sure it’s the exact wing, front bumper, side skirts that would be on the GT3. Hope this helps!
Bid in the amount of $20,500
Since the aero kit was added by the previous owner, are the parts aftermarket or are they factory Porsche parts with Porsche part numbers?
Last couple of days! Good luck everyone!

@doboy017 thanks for your comment - please see my response to RMLAM - thank you
@rmlam I see that too - its clearly an error on the digital window sticker - according to vinanalytics its showing the 6-speed manual. Also by the extra pedal I would say its a manual transmission. thank you for spotting that!
Good Catch RMLAM. Now I’m wondering as the pictures clearly show a six speed manual transmission.
Why does the included "window sticker" list this Porsche VIN as an "automatic tiptronic"?
@WRENCH.56 thank you! Its definitely interesting being a seller too! Learning a lot and also exciting to use the platform myself this way! Ive enjoyed this car so much that its surreal that I'm selling it. I am sure the next owner will love it as much as I have! Thank you for being part of the auction! Excited to see how this goes!
Good luck with this, Adam.
It’s always interesting to see one of you guys put up a personal car for auction.
Kudos for driving it as much as you have. I bought a 996 C4 from this site with 121,000 miles on it. After going through it with a fine toothed comb and servicing EVERYTHING, it is now my favorite car and I drive it frequently and very fast when out of town.
I’m sure the winning bidder for your 996 will enjoy just how much fun and how good these cars are.

@911Brez I did!!! It’s a heck of a car and I didn’t hold back on miles. Never seen track though. Thank you!
You drove the car 40k miles in 3 years? Good for you man. These thing were meant to be driven. Did you do any track days with it?
@redgard yes its a C2 (Carrera)
This is a C2?
A few items for the future owner to anticipate possibly addressing if he or she wishes:
- The driver-side seat bolster has an obvious tear and the passenger-side has a slight tear as well.
- The tires should be replaced. This would be my first order of business when picking up the car.
- The front bumper has spider cracking in the paint - I have left this unpainted for the future owner to address. The driver-side side skirt also has some scratches.
- The arm rest hinge has been broken since I bought the car.
- The window regulator was recently replaced - however the window was not aligned properly so it doesn’t go all the way down - im going to try to have this fixed before the new owner takes delivery.
- The indicator stalk works however in one direction you have to just hold it down to keep it engaged - this can be replaced but it hasn't bothered me and has been something I've gotten quite used to

Welcome to my 996 auction on PCARMARKET! I will be active throughout the auction but wanted to kick this auction off by first wishing all bidders well and the best! This 996 has been more than just a car to me - it was my first 911 - and this car truly became part of my identity for the past ~3 years. I am sure that the next owner will love this car as much as I have! It is by no means a garage queen car - and that is why you will actually be able enjoy it! From day 1 of ownership I made the decision to drive and not fret over mileage. Life is too short not to enjoy a 911 if you get the chance to own one. She has a ton of character and is loved by everyone that it comes into contact with her. I will have more to say as this auction progresses - for now reach out to me anytime and may the highest bid win!
@sagatradingco thank you! It's a heck of a car and will be loved by its next owner!
Bid in the amount of $15,000
Awesome color combo and man, this thing sounds mean! I'm sure the winning bidder will be in heaven this fall. Blue will look great paired with some autumnal foliage and a twisty road. GLWA!
