Completed at the Porsche factory in December 2004 for the following model year, this 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is among the final 996s produced. It comes finished in Black over a matching full leather interior and equipped with a 3.6-liter flat-six engine, a 6-speed manual transmission, the optional Power Seat Package, Aluminum/Chrome Package, Technic Package, Xenon Headlamp Package, Bose High-End Sound Package, Porsche Stability Management (PSM), and 18” Carrera light alloy wheels. Sold new from Beverly Hills Porsche, this is now being offered for auction out of Florida with approximately 56k miles showing on the odometer.
The exterior is finished in Black with a matching power-operated convertible top. Equipment includes optional bi-xenon headlights, headlamp washers, fog lights, heated power mirrors, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and dual exhaust tips. The car rides on optional 18” Carrera light alloy wheels with colored Porsche crest center caps and Michelin tires. The CARFAX report shows minor damage to the rear in 2020, and the seller states that the exterior is in excellent overall condition. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a CARFAX report noting minor damage in July 2020.
Inside, this 996 features a premium Black full leather interior with optional heated and power-adjustable seats, a three-spoke leather steering wheel, aluminum trim inlays for the shifter and brake handle, aluminum instrument dials, and stainless-steel door sills. Other accessories include a remote central locking system, automatic climate control, cruise control, the optional Bose High-End Sound Package, and an aftermarket stereo.
The naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six engine was factory-rated at 320 HP and 273 lb-ft of torque. It drives the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transaxle, while stopping power is handled by fixed 4-piston brakes and cross-drilled discs at each corner. The seller indicates the car has been dealer-maintained and there are no outstanding issues to be addressed.
This sale will include a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “This 911 is in excellent condition, runs and drives excellent, and is ready to be driven and enjoyed!”

What are you willing to pay for the car ?
@Daisy2013 Thanks for the quick response.
I was hoping for a bit more collaboration in your response.
Good luck with sale.
@MMackinlaySD what’s blind about the posting ? Where are you located and who do you have to do a PPI ?
Hi there - are you open to splitting the cost of a PPI?
I'm very interested....but feel like I'm flying blind based on the posting and lack of oil analysis, PPI, IMS etc.
@Daisy2013 with IMS solution & PPI done with paperwork yes. Was watching with interest but too many unknowns for 997.1 money.
