Acquired by the current owner in 2017, this 911 Turbo is now being offered for auction out of Florida with approximately 8,500 miles showing on the odometer.
Finished in Guards Red, this 996 features Turbo-specific bodywork including unique bumpers, wide fenders, side air intakes, and a speed-activated rear spoiler. It was optioned with painted front air intakes, yellow brake calipers, and quad stainless-steel exhaust tips. Other equipment includes xenon headlamps, fog lights, an electric sunroof, a rear window wiper, and optional 18” Sport Techno wheels mounted with new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. The seller notes the car has been kept in a climate-controlled garage and the exterior is treated with a ceramic coating. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin is appointed with premium Brown Natural Leather upholstery and includes optional heated supple leather seats with Porsche-crested headrests, white instrument dials, stainless-steel door sills, aluminum shifter and handbrake trim, and leather sun visors with illuminated vanity mirrors. Other accessories include automatic climate control, cruise control, a central locking system, and an AM/FM/CD stereo with a 6-disc CD changer.
Rated at 415 HP and 415 lb.-ft of torque, the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission driving all four wheels. The car is equipped with an Automatic Brake Differential (ABD), Porsche Stability Management (PSM), and fixed 4-piston alloy brake calipers paired with 330mm cross-drilled rotors. The seller indicates routine oil and filter changes have been kept up to date during their ownership.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, a window sticker, a toolkit, a spare tire inflator, a car cover, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “I purchased the car in December of 2017 from a private party in Knoxville TN. with 7600 miles on it. Had it shipped to South Florida enclosed carrier via Passport Transport. The car has been kept in my air-conditioned garage. As you can see by the mileage it is kind of a garage queen. It is a ball to drive. Brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.”

We are down to an hour remaining on the auction. This could be one of the finest examples of a 2003 turbo out there now. Kind of a unicorn really you just don't find many like this. Good luck to all.

@CarCrazy1 yeah sorry I can not get over to my office today where the car is. However I can vouch for there never being any repainting or damage to the car at all. I can assure you that all reading are within the normal range if my word means anything.
Is there any way to see paint meter readings for the doors/fenders/quarter panels? TY
A truly stunning example. This one should really do well.
Bid in the amount of $75,000
I have the exact combo on a 997.2 turbo S, its probably the best looking color combo one can get with that guards red and natural brown leather. This one will be a keeper for sure. GlWs
@KDG148 Understood. I only ask because I'm only seeing readings for the hood, what I assume are the roof and the rear deck lid. Looks phenomenal!
@CarCrazy1 No I do not have anymore. I tried to get the tops and sides. I do not think you will find a more perfect example of a 996 out there IMO.
Are there any more photos with meter readings? TY
@Lexday47 no I do not believe that was the case. As I know for sure he bought it out of south carolina.
I would bet the doctor you purchased it from originally leased it then bought it at lease end, that is very common and shows an extra owner.
@KDG148 thanks for the details. Still im very surprised that it switched hands four times within 8k miles. 8k miles is nothing. Werent you curious at the time of buying? May be every previous owner just had it in the garage for the most part.
@911Z So if you follow the car fax owner 1 greer sc # 2 greenville Sc #3 Tennessee # 4 My company
#5 me personally . I purchased the car from a Doctor in Tennessee so I am the 4th and 5th owner of the car.
Hope that clears any questions up.
@seller. 5 owners in 8k miles??
@KDG148 Hello. Sent you a private message. I live in the Jupiter / PBG area and would like to see the car quickly tomorrow if possible. Only need a few minutes to check a few things. Thank you.
@bvcvandykdx200 no that has not been done.
Sorry, meant braided, not brained!!
Any chance the brake lines have been replaced with brained SS lines?
Bid in the amount of $73,000
@Yellow996turbo Oil & Filter
Coolant flush & replace
Brake Fluid
I have not changed the belts,plugs, and coil packs.
@mariog no I don't have a DME rev-report
@KDG148, thanks for the quick reply. Last question, can you list what fluids were changed. I assume belts, plugs and coil packs are original.
Do you have a DME rev-report?
@Yellow996turbo opps sorry Yellow996turbo I did answer your questions however I answered in my comment sections not @ yellow996turbo, if there is anything I can help with let me.
Yes the car did have the paint correction done and ceramic coated. I don't recall the product used.
All fluids were changed within the last 6 months
Battery is 2 years old
No door dings or noticeable scratches as the pictures will verify.
@KDG148, few questions on the car.
1. You mention the car was ceramic coated. Can you advise if the car was paint corrected (and when) and when was the ceramic coating applied (if you know what product was applied, would be great).
2. Any recent fluid changes other than oil?
3. Age of battery.
4. Any door dings or noticeable scratches.
@JRitt I agree with your comments. I searched for over a year to find the right color combo I was looking for.
IMO, Brown Natural Leather is the absolute best interior option ever put in a modern Porsche. I had it in my 997.2 C2S, and it is phenomenal. It has a rich, warm glow to it, feels amazing, and exudes 'classy'. Beautiful example and I hope it brings all the money!
Beautiful car GLWS :)

@Dirtyfox I have owned the car since 2017. It was in my company's name. Transferred title to me 2-24.
Pictures 29, 44, and 50 show a reflection that looks like some sort of scratch.
It is not the paint is perfect. It was a very sunny day the day photos were shot.
Any other questions happy to answer
@Dirtyfox yes you are correct. I have a very damaged ankle and really can not use the clutch. The main reason I am selling this beauty.
Bid in the amount of $60,000
sorry in the last year
Am i correct in saying that you have owned the car for a year and put approx 100 miles on the clock ?
Be yooo tee ful!
Welcome to my auction of my 996 turbo. I will try to answer all questions and concerns.
Time for me to move on to something else and give someone else the joy of owning this truly great car.
