In my hand is the key bearing the famous Porsche logo. As befits an enthusiast’s possession, it’s attached to an original leather keychain that also features the logo. Holding the key in my hand gives me a magical feeling. After all, it grants access to what is, for many, a boyhood dream. A Porsche 911. In this case, a 996 Carrera 4 with a 6-speed manual transmission.
The 996 Carrera 4 is powered by a 3.4-liter 6-cylinder boxer engine producing 300pk. Especially with a manual transmission, it’s the most amazing car to drive. Pure, addictive—just the way you want it. The “4” after “Carrera” indicates permanent all-wheel drive. A combination that delivers exceptional grip and takes the 911’s driving dynamics to the next level.
The 911 is tastefully finished in Schwarz Metallic, paired with a black leather interior and black headliner. The exterior is enhanced by the original 18-inch Carrera 4 wide-body wheels, fitted with Michelin tires. The so-called Litronic headlights with xenon lighting are particularly striking.
Inside, there’s plenty of luxury—especially when you consider the car’s context in the late ’90s. This 996 is equipped with power-adjustable sport seats, heated seats, and beautiful black leather upholstery. The center console houses the original PCM system with a large color display, and below it are the controls for the automatic climate control. The 3-spoke sport steering wheel is also very attractive.
The Porsche is in exceptionally good condition. It’s clear that the car has been treated and driven with great care and love. All documentation, including the service booklet, is present, as are two keys. In addition, there are many invoices on file. The original Geburtskunde is also included, as is an appraisal report. The maintenance history is neatly stamped through 2020. The most recent owner, who has owned the car since 2021, was a passionate enthusiast who performed the maintenance himself. Among other things, he replaced the famous IMS bearing and kept the car in top condition. Only the invoices for these parts are available.
If you’re interested in a unique, authentic, and exceptionally well-maintained Porsche 911, this is your opportunity. The Carrera 4 with a manual transmission is a very popular model.
Make your childhood dream come true and stop by soon for a viewing and a test drive.
