Firstflatsix loves the 996 as an entry into Porsche 911 ownership. We’re 996 owners, we love the car and we keep tabs on the market. That being said, did you see what the 22K-Mile 996 C2 (VIN WP0AA2991XS624984) on Bringatrailer did today? (Hint: A LOT)
Thats right folks, $35,996 + $1799.80 Fee = $37,795. Let me repeat, $37,795 for a Carrera 2. Why you ask? Well a few reasons. For one the interior.
“Boxster Red” full leather interior. Special order, and not really ever seen these days on the used car market. The car only had 22K miles. The car, from the listing pics appeared to be in pristine condition. This ’99 was optioned with the factory Limited Slip Differential (LSD) and as a ’99 this was the last 911 available with a cable connected throttle. Add the Arctic Silver and and auction format and well, thats a recipe for big $$$$$.
We’re glad to see the 996 getting the attention it deserves. We at firstflatsix love the drive, and if we can limit our depreciation and perhaps, even get some equity out of this, that’s a plus in our book. The high tide raises all boats, the GT2/GT3 and Turbos moved up first, and it appears the narrow body 996 is on its curve up as well. Keep coming back to firstflatsix daily, we’ll help you spot the good ones worthy of being your firstflatsix 911.
