This 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera cabriolet is finished in Seal Grey Metallic over black leather and is powered by a 3.6-liter flat-six paired with a six-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a speed-activated rear spoiler, a black soft top, 18″ Sport Classic wheels, and fog lights, power-adjustable heated seats, automatic climate control, and a touchscreen Kenwood head unit. The car was originally delivered to Porsche Exchange of Highland Park, Illinois, and was brought to British Columbia circa 2009. Acquired by the seller in 2024, this 996 Carrera cabriolet shows 78k miles and is now offered at no reserve with the owner’s manual, a clean Carfax report, and clean British Columbia registration in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Seal Grey Metallic (6B4) and features a black convertible soft top. It is fitted with a speed-activated rear spoiler, integrated fog lights, heated mirrors, and polished exhaust outlets. There is a scuff on the front bumper cover. The fenders, front trunk lid, quarter panels, and top boot lid were repainted in 2016. Paint meter readings from multiple body panels can be viewed in the photo gallery below.
The 18″ Sport Classic wheels wear staggered-width Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 tires that were mounted in September 2020. The car is equipped with Porsche Stability Management (PSM) and an Automatic Brake Differential (ABD). The front struts and upper mounts and rear shocks were replaced in 2016, while replacement front lower control arms and sway bar business were fitted in 2017. A brake fluid flush was performed in July 2024.
The cabin features heated power-adjustable front seats upholstered in black leather. The car was optioned with aluminum inlays on the shift knob and emergency brake handle. Features include driver-seat memory settings, a wind deflector, automatic climate control, a touchscreen Kenwood head unit, and aftermarket door and dashboard speakers.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a central tachometer with a 7,200-rpm redline and a 200-mph speedometer as well as gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 78k miles, a handful of which were added under current ownership.
The 3.6-liter flat-six was factory rated at 320 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. The seller notes that the IMS bearing was replaced in July 2017 with an LN Engineering kit. The most recent oil change was performed in July 2024.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle. The rear main seal, clutch, and flywheel were replaced in 2016.
