If you are looking to get in on a 911, with a limited capital outlay, this may be your car. Porsche has been cracking down on the online vin decoders and with no pic from the seller of the frunk sticker I can’t give you an options debrief. That being said, we’re just gonna list what we can spy from the 5 pics. We’re seeing 18″ Carrera II wheels, stock calipers that have been painted red, flared rocker panels and the aero front bumper (no way to tell this is factory) and stainless steel exhaust tips. The car is definitely riding on some type of aftermarket suspension as its sitting LOW.
This 2001 Carrera came with a 300HP 3.4L flat-six with an “e-gas” throttle which was standard in all Carreras save for the ’99 Coupes.
We spy some black partial Leather interior and an alcantera headliner with a 3 spoke steering wheel. Unfortunately, not much else to go on without a VIN and limited pics. But being that 996’s appear to be on the rise (look at what this 120K mile original IMS beauty did on BaT) we don’t think you should run away from this car exactly. The Carfax shows a minor accident 12 years ago and 5 previous owners. That doesn’t scare us. Get a PPI, be the owner of a 911 for less than $15K.
