Finished in Black over a matching full leather interior, this 2004 Porsche 996 Turbo Coupe features a 6-speed manual transmission paired with its twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six engine. The car was sold at an original sticker price of over $124k, including optional heated front seats with adjustable lumbar support, Porsche-crested headrests, the Aluminum/Chrome Package, and 18” GT3 wheels. It was purchased from the original owner in 2018 and has been driven sparingly as part of the current owner’s car collection ever since. Showing under 29k miles on the odometer, this 996 Turbo is now being offered for auction out of California.
This 996 is finished in Black and features wide rear fenders with side air intakes, Turbo-specific bumpers, side skirts, and a speed-activated rear wing. Other equipment includes bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, heated power mirrors, an electric sunroof, a rear window wiper, polished quad exhaust tips, and red Porsche-branded brake calipers. The car rides on 18” 911 Turbo wheels with Turbo-logo center caps and Michelin Pilot Sport tires from 2024. The original factory-optioned 18” GT3 wheels are also available should the next owner prefer them. The seller notes the driver’s side rear quarter panel was refinished to address a scratch under original ownership, and the paint remains in very good overall condition, apart from some chips on the front bumper and hood. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin is appointed with Black full leather upholstery, matching carpets, and an Alcantara headliner. Accessories include optional heated power-operated front seats with adjustable lumbar support, Porsche-crested headrests, a three-spoke leather steering wheel, aluminum instrument dials, stainless-steel Turbo script door entry guards, a central locking system, an onboard computer, automatic climate control, cruise control, a Porsche CDR-220 stereo, a 6-disc CD changer, and a Bose sound system. All gauges and accessories are said to be fully functional.
Producing a factory-rated 415 HP and 415 lb-ft of torque, the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six engine drives all four wheels through a 6-speed manual transaxle. Performance features include Porsche Stability Management (PSM), Automatic Brake Differential (ABD), and fixed 4-piston brake calipers with cross-drilled 13” discs at each corner. The seller indicates routine maintenance is up to date, and a DME report is available for reference.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, a window sticker, a toolkit, a spare tire, a tire inflator, a battery trickle charger, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “This 996 Turbo has been a dream car for the owner, and he has enjoyed driving the car to various car shows in his ownership. The car is in immaculate condition and still smells brand new inside, and we're excited to find a great home for this 996 Turbo this week!”

@jrwarden There is no PPF and it has never had any PPF installed, there are some rock chips on the front bumper and front of the hood, the front spoiler has minor scrapes underneath it that you can see in the undercarriage photos that we uploaded in the gallery. It has not been Ceramic coated, we had our detailer buff and polish the car
Dose the car have any PPF on the front? Paint chips, dings on front spoiler? Ceramic paint finish?
Undercarriage photos uploaded!

@Kehv Of course!
Thanks - don’t disagree but do want to factor everything in!
Bid in the amount of $41,000
@Kehv coolant line has not been pinned everything is original as it came from factory. Unless you plan on really driving the car hard or tracking it there is no need to do it either. Buddy has 100k miles on his and doesn’t have the line pinned either and never had any issues
Has anything preventive been done on the coolant lines?

@shamansky Appreciate the kind words. I’ve personally purchased so many cars sight unseen and have been screwed on numerous occasions and that’s what made us start our White Glove Service to being with.
So that no matter where you are in the world, you can bid confidently knowing that any car you purchase from us is exactly as described.
Plus, no dollar amount is worth losing our business reputation and credibility.
So bid with confidence that what you see is what you will get. Happy bidding to everyone!
Besides this being a stunning automobile kudos to the seller for a transparent and incredibly revealing presentation.
Full walk around and driving video has been submitted to Pcar and should be uploaded here in the next day so keep an eye out!
Bid in the amount of $35,250
@tag4747 Definitely is a great and rare spec from the factory, and wow that RUF will be a monster! Good luck with the build!
Wow - gorgeous car - I have owned a couple of these - including a 9000 mile 996 TurboS - this has a lot of great options checked - Stainless tips, White Gauges, Nav (but the PCCM is so good now) and the GT3 wheels - this car with the GT3 wheels really stands out - if I needed one I would be all over this but currently building out a RUF 996 RTurbo I bought here on PCAR back in December so no slips at the house - GLWA - really nice looking car with great equipment
enjoy these short clips while we button up the full video!

@jrwarden There is no buy now price, the auction is live for another 6 days so if interested I'd highly suggest to bid.
This turbo will also be on display at Benedict Castle Concours in Riverside CA at our booth on May 18 if anyone is interested in seeing it in person.
Is there a buy now price

@jrwarden the inspection report has been uploaded to the auction and you could find it at the end of the gallery and I also just uploaded a photo of the GT3 wheels as well. They are in a box with no tires. Should you be interested in taking the GT3 wheels, he will mount tires on them.
Additional content has been added to the gallery for this listing.
Would like to review the report that was done. I would also like the GT3 style wheels on the car. Condition? Tires and DOT dates. Can info be email to me?
Jim Warden
@mxtr55 there is no foam coming from the air vents. The car is literally brand new and still smells new inside.
And yes, the owner is happy to let the winning bidder choose between the set of wheels that they would like for free, if you would like both sets he is more than happy to make a good deal for both.
@heritagegruppe - any foam coming out of the vents? Also, you stated the 18" GT3 wheels are available. Do they come with the car? If not, given the wheels came with the original purchase, they should be on the car to keep the originality.
You can also find the DME report in the photos that was done by our friends at House Automotive, the car has been pampered by both owners since new and never raced or driven hard
@AO23 no problem! The inspection was done by a certified master classic car appraiser and we made sure to have him cover all basis to give a full understanding of the car.
@AO23 Disregard previous comment, I see the comments and readings on the attached inspection
Do you have paint meter readings? Was the entire fender repainted?
Bid in the amount of $20,000
Hi everyone, this is G with Heritage Gruppe!
We’re proud to present this gorgeous 04 Turbo here on Pcarmarket for you all this week!
This 996 was purchased new by the previous owner from a dealership, along with a C4S. The first owner barely drove this Turbo and decided to sell it back to the dealer he bought it from as it wasn’t being used. After selling it, he regretted his decision and went back and bought it again for a second time. The current owner purchased it from him in 2018 and has put 1000-1500 miles on it a year since then.
From exterior to interior to the drivetrain, the car is absolutely stunning and the black on black color combo really makes the car look mean and elegant. When it comes to functionality, the car starts up on the first try every time, it sounds great, and drives amazingly. Please enjoy the studio photos as we capture some videos and outdoor photos of the car for you all as well and post them here as we go along this week.
Inspection & Test Drive Information
As always, we welcome in-person inspections
In-person inspections: Appointments are available during the week Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

Shipping Assistance
For those considering shipping, we’re happy to help! Send us your zip code, and we’ll provide a quote tailored to your location.
Payment
With all of our auctions, we urge you to have payment ready if bidding and not wait until the end of the auction if considering something like an auto loan. Once the auction is complete the funds will be wired directly to the selling owner of the vehicle.
First Time Bidders
For first time bidders, at the end of the auction in the final 2 minutes, the auction timer will reset back to the 2 min mark with each bid in order to give all bidders a fair chance. It’s happened plenty of times where serious bidders have waited until the last second and due to a glitch or the website not being refreshed, weren’t able to get their bids in on time, so please don’t wait until the last second to bid as the timer will reset anyway.
We’re looking forward to your bids and comments throughout this auction.
Good luck, and happy bidding!
Best regards,
G | Heritage Gruppe
