This 2004 Porsche 996 Carrera Cabriolet is finished in Basalt Black Metallic over Savanna Beige upholstery and features a 6-speed manual transmission paired with its 3.6-liter flat-six engine. It was further configured with 18” Light Alloy Carrera wheels, Porsche Stability Management, the Xenon Headlamp Package, the Bose High-End Sound Package, heated front seats, the Power Seat Package, aluminum interior appointments, a body-colored rear center console, and Custom Tailoring (Special Wishes that require further communication). Initially delivered at Porsche of Huntington in New York, this example has since been cared for in Pennsylvania and Texas where it is now being offered for auction showing less than 18k miles on the odometer.
This 996 is finished in Basalt Black Metallic with a black convertible soft top and rides on optional 18” Light Alloy Carrera wheels with colored Porsche crests. The Xenon Headlamp Package was also opted for, while standard features include integrated fog lights, a speed-activated rear spoiler, black brake calipers with white Porsche lettering, and dual exhaust outlets. The seller describes the exterior as being in excellent condition, and detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
Inside, the driver is greeted with Savanna Beige standard leather and black Porsche-lettered floor mats. Options comprise a body-colored rear center console, an aluminum/leather-trimmed shifter & brake handle, a Carrera-logo storage compartment lid, heated front seats, the Power Seat Package, and the Bose High-End Sound Package. Other accessories include a leather three-spoke steering wheel, Carrera-branded door sills, automatic climate control, cruise control, a central locking system, and an onboard computer.
The naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six engine is factory-rated at 320 HP and 273 lb-ft of torque, while a 6-speed manual transmission delivers power to the rear wheels. The seller states that the IMS bearing has been replaced, and service on July 25, 2025, included an oil & filter change as well as a battery replacement. The car is equipped with optional Porsche Stability Management (PSM) and standard fixed 4-piston brake calipers with ventilated and cross-drilled rotors. The CARFAX report shows a total of 14 service history entries.
This sale will include a clean title, owner’s manuals, a window sticker, and a spare tire.
The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for visiting my auction. I purchased this Porsche about two years ago with 11,000 miles. I have since added about 6500 miles, and the car now has 17,500 miles. In March of this year, I replaced the battery. In July, I changed the oil and oil filter, replaced the engine air filter, and replaced the cabin filter. The car is in excellent condition and ready for a serious road trip. The car is stored in a garage and driven on nice days, which we get quite a few here in the Hill Country of Texas.”

The video of the car being put thru the gears is now loaded. This is such a fun car to drive and I very much appreciate the analog experience. Good luck bidding.
The cold start and going thru the gears video that I took will not load on the pcarmarket listing. I will be more than happy to send it direct to your cell. The car is exceptional in both cosmetic and mechanical condition as would be expected for the low miles.

Probably did not replace the clutch due to the extreme low miles.
My records do not show a clutch replacement when the IMS bearing. It does show an update replacement of a rear seal. I took a cold start video and a drive shifting thru the gears today. The car shifts beautifully.

I WAS LOOKING FOR THE BEST 911 PORSCHE 996 I COULD FIND. THIS IS IT. IT HAS VERY LOW MILES AND WAS AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I PAID A PREMIUM FOR THE CAR BUT IN THE MEAN TIME I RECEIVED AN ALLOCATION FOR A 2026 PORSCHE 911-T CABRIOLET. I HAD A GOOD YEAR IN 2024 SO I DECIDED TO BUY THE NEW PORSCHE. NOW I WANT TO MOVE THIS SPECIAL CAR TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS THE BEST 996 AVAILABLE.
