Lots of 996.2’s lately I know, but all the “deals” seem to be for the face-lifted 996 recently.
2002 was the 1st year for the updated/facelifted 996. The narrowbody base Carrera had underbody fittings for improved aerodynamics, front and rear bumpers were restyled, but most importantly Porsche gave the Carrera the Turbo’s updated headlights with standard bi-Xenon lamps (no more Boxster look!).
The wheels on this car are 18″ Carrera II’s and are the lightest stock wheel from the factory. Tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 2’s with about 1 summer worth of tread left according to the seller.
The face-lifted Carrera’s also got new engines. The original 3.4L M96/02 were all replaced by a single 3.6L M96/03 type producing 320HP. These new engines also came with a new VariocamPlus system and a new DME that mimics the Turbos minus the boost control. Unfortunately, the M96/03 still suffers from the same IMS issues as the M96/02. Fortunately this Carrera has had a ton of maintenance work done to it. The seller claims, IMS/RMS/AOS, Clutch, Flywheel, Brakes Pads/Sensors, Rotors, and Transmission Mounts. ($5K+ in work completed) in the past year alone. Tons of work done before that.
The interior is finished in “Graphite Grey” partial leather with heated/powered SPORT seats (very nice option).
Facelifted, lower mileage 996 with Sport Seats and a TON of maintenance work done already for $23K? Thats a buy! Ask for the carfax/autocheck and don’t forget that PPI! Make this 996 your #firstflatsix
