6/4/18 Update: Price chop, now asking $24,997
This 2000 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (VIN WP0AA2994YS620879) has a claimed 50,402 miles and is finished in “Violet Chromaflair Metallic”. The seller states, “Clean Carfax and service records available”. No word of any IMS/RMS work. Find this one offered here on Autotrader in Pelham, Alabama for $25,997.
First off, the good folks at Exclusiveautowholesale.net missed a prime opportunity to price this at $25,996. What were they thinking using 997?
For the turn of the century Porsche opted to produce a “Limited Edition” model of the 996. The “Millennium Edition” was created based on the standard model year 2000 Carrera 4. Their run was limited to (wait for it)…911 cars.
The Carrera 4 script was removed from the engine lid and replaced with the 911 logo much like the 964 Anniversary model.
Beyond the special paint, the Millennium Editions also got Polished 18″ Turbo Look wheels which were obviously swapped with some 3 piece aftermarket wheels here. That being said, we’re not exactly hating these wheels. Litronic headlamps with washers, oversized exhaust tips and wait for it…a rear wiper (!) round out the exterior.
This 2000 Carrera 4 came with a 300HP 3.4L flat-six and AWD with Porsche Stability Management. The AWD system is permanent and set at minimum 95% to the rear and 5% to the fronts. With rear wheels spinning, the fronts could get up to 40% of the power. This 3.4L is also fitted with “e-gas” throttle which was standard in all Carreras save for the ’99 Coupes.
The interior is finished in Millennium “Natural Brown” Full Leather (door cards and dash) with dark burr maple wood trim. Power and heated seats are standard here with the interior is showing minimal wear.
The 3-Spoke leather steering wheel, Porsche Communication Management System (PCM) aluminum dials and a remote CD changer round out the interior. Unfortunately, still no cupholders or glovebox here folks.
Base C4, 300 HP, 6speed, AWD and ONLY 51K miles. The price is right here folks, a similar ME with 5K more miles sold on BringaTrailer for $26,250 with buyers premium. Get that IMS/RMS work done for peace of mind and enjoy a 996 that I guarantee you wont be seen often out in the wild. The perfect firstflatsix.
sound like you know what you?re talking about! Thanks
