This 2000 Porsche 911 Carrera cabriolet was specified in Vesuvio Metallic over Space Gray leather, and it is powered by a 3.4-liter M96 flat-six paired with a five-speed automatic transaxle. Features include a replacement gray soft top, an aftermarket rear spoiler, 18″ Turbo-look wheels, power-adjustable front seats, a Becker Porsche CDR-220 stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control. The car shows registration history in California beginning in August 2000 and was later relocated to Arizona prior to the selling dealer’s acquisition, and it has 71k miles. The IMS bearing was replaced with components from LN Engineering in March 2017. This 996.1 cabriolet is now offered in Arizona by the selling dealer with service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.
The car is finished in Vesuvio Metallic (L40X) and is equipped with a replacement gray convertible soft top as well as integrated fog lights, an aftermarket rear spoiler, tinted tail lights, and dual exhaust outlets with polished finishers. The soft top hydraulic cylinders were replaced in 2022.
The 18″ Turbo-look wheels show signs of curb rash and are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. Braking is handled by four-piston Porsche-branded calipers fitted over cross-drilled rotors at all four corners. The front brake pads and rotors were replaced in November 2021, and the rear brake pads and rotors were replaced in March 2023.
The power-adjustable front seats are trimmed in Space Gray leather. Interior equipment includes a Becker Porsche CDR-220 stereo, cruise control, a removable wind deflector, and automatic climate control. The center console was dyed in March 2017.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 180-mph speedometer, a central tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 71k miles.
The 3.4-liter M96 flat-six was factory rated at 300 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transaxle. The IMS bearing was replaced in March 2017 with components from LN Engineering, the battery was replaced in March 2023, and an oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
